The backbone to local economies are very important to the stability and prosperity of a successful local economy.
The methodology behind a voter ID is counter culture to local economies.
We know that local economies are a very vital to America. The understanding about local economies is that they are the place where the details are located. A local economies can be discerned as successful or failure based on the actual witness of it's hardiness. The details are not lost in local economies and it is the details of failure that can be stemmed which are disregarded in Wall Street's boardroom. The definition of success is drastically different.
So, in understanding a local economy is known in it's characteristics, strengths and dynamics is to understand how open voter laws that invite participation are paramount to the local economy.
There is a great deal of difference between voting and showing a passport at an airport gate or using a credit card with state issues ID/drivers license. The State ID is depersonalized for easy use in a wide platform of demands for it.
The state ID is issued for law enforcement primarily, however, over the years since the invention of the car the state ID is used in commercial activities of the driver. That is not necessary in voting. The state ID is an enforcement tool in public and private venues. But, with the state ID is an understanding the owner is a mystery. The person is taking part in an activity where they are in a random population and MUST have definitive definitions for legal purposes.
Voting is local. It is not only local, it personal. There are districts within the local population where voters live. The small UNIT of population within a district screams familiarity.
ie: "Hi, Margaret, come out to vote today? Sign here please and here is your ballot." That type of familiarity will rarely be found in commercial and larger public activities. Make no mistake, voting and the polling place is very much a public activity, but, it is an activity within a very small population of FAMILIARITY.
Since the first days of our US Constitution no one called for OFFICIAL ID. It was never necessary, albeit for the racial poll tax. But, in the case of the poll tax, there was deliberate demands to remove the participation of African Americans. Is that not what the state ID is? Regardless of the 'FREE' state ID, there are expenses that accompany it and are prohibitive.
Voting is a vital activity for the poor. They are the ones that should benefit the most by elections. They are the ones most profoundly effected by decisions made on their behalf or completely ignored and neglected.
By the very definitions of "poor" comes an OBVIOUS status of lacking funds that make quality of life changes. With the new world poll tax called the Voter ID comes financial burdens that are not affordable.
Example: When I ride the public transit system I have to pay for that form of transportation. None of that public transit is free and yes $4.50 when I enter the bus at the beginning of my day is significant. It is not dime or a nickel or a penny. It is not even a quarter it is the cost of a 2 loaves of bread or a loaf of bread and a half gallon of milk.
The reason voting has survived since the beginning of the US Constitution is because we know we are doing. We understand our local community is attached to a greater community and as we walk up the ladder of elections it defines us. We have a local mayor and council, country supervisors, state legislators and federal representatives. The very basis of such a system is the voter. The way voters find their participation is through an organized district with the ability to know exactly where one lives.
Very districts are very small in geography. The people understand their mind maps. It usually is very easy to look at a voter and know them as a local. There is a quality of life and economic definition. But, voting districts and the BALLOTING PLACES within them are simple and the most important aspect of the USA democracy.
Requiring state IDs is a burden. It is a burden financially, aesthetics, emotionally and psychologically. A state ID tells the voter they are untrustworthy without it. The state ID dehumanizes citizens. It takes away their robust presence in voting and replaces it with a piece of plastic.
State IDs when required removes the idea a citizen's signature or mark as a statement of their BELONGING and an affirmation of their citizen's rights. The very same person that has lost or forgotten their state issued ID will be denied as a real human being come to carry out their choice of persons in power over their very lives.
I know my local government by name, reputation, profession/job and how their vote effects my life. I can attend meetings of the mayor or council OR as in my local government I can turn on the local closed circuit states and view a meeting that I was not able to attend. Witnessing those meetings help me decide my choices in elections.
The USA has pegged people into classes within it's society. These sigmas are based economic understandings and taxes paid. Those at the top of these definitions of economic standing have absolutely no trouble voting. Heck they are probably on their way to relatives for an extended vacation for Thanksgiving and submitted an absentee ballot.
And the absentee ballot is filled out and mailed in. It doesn't have an identity requirement.
State IDs are not necessary to vote. People can vote without an ID. Voting doesn't cause liability. It does not witness financial facts to assign responsibility for traffic accidents. Voting doesn't cause accidents. There is no such thing as voting insurance.
Voting is an act of citizenship with the highest esteem within a democracy. Those demanding voter ID don't care to understand a democracy is based in participation of the greatest number of people within it. They don't bother understanding in order to uphold that democracy, it has to find a way for the most burdened voter to act to effect their lives for greater benevolence.
It is a known fact Voter ID victimizes citizens and is an obstruction to the right of every citizen throughout our socioeconomic democracy to participation. Why then does it exist? Because the poor are African Americans in greater numbers than any other ethnic group in the USA. This is racism. This is a poll tax and it should never exist.
Voting is a right. Driving is privilege. There is no equating the two. It is just a fact of life.
A comparative study of other democracies and the USA shows Voter Registration is an enemy to participation. Imagine that.

...Most of us are not parties to that conversation (click here) — including
me until I started asking — but I was quite impressed with the list of
structural, legal and procedural elements of U.S. elections that seem to
contribute to our poor turnouts. Here are some of the U.S. practices:
Requiring registration
Most
scholars who seek to solve the riddle of low U.S. voter participation
start with this explanation. Personally, I was shocked that the United
States' voting system is rare among world democracies in that it
requires voters to register to vote. But, for me at least, this is one
of the main benefits of looking at other democracies.
Turns
out, in most of the rest of the democratic world, there’s no separate
step called registration. It happens automatically. Or, to put it a bit
differently, in most of the democracies, registering citizens to vote is
the responsibility of the government. In general, the governments know
the names, ages and addresses of most of its citizens and — except in
the United States — provide the appropriate polling place with a list of
those qualified to vote. The voter just has to show up....
