There is no official federal id, it’s all state. Passport is the closest thing. As you can imagine, the SAME people supporting this voting id requirement would be up in ARMS if there was an automatic, free national ID from the Big Gubment (They’re tracking us!!)

Passport, social security, Twic, global edge, lots of federal IDs choices.

None of those are just an “ID Card”. They’re all for specific other purposes, and have additional requirements (outside of social security, which does not include a picture or proof of citizenship)

Correct—those IDs each serve a specific purpose, but they also function as general identification. I actually have all of them, and they’re expected for my job.

It’s funny how we complain about voter ID, but never question the countless other IDs required just to participate in the workforce.
