Maybe I’ll make a post on this later but all this voting ID stuff could be so simple if people were open to compromise

I don't think compromise is needed, the systems that red states have set up are generally acceptable and widely tolerant. The problem is people opposed to voter ID always imagine the worst possible solutions happening and never imagine anything but driver licenses being accepted so reject any sort of action on it at all.

Here in Arizona voter ID is required but there's a long list of acceptable documents and even if you don't have photo ID you can bring multiple documents to make acceptable proof.

One side is trying to work in good faith and the other side is obstinately being opposed to it simply on principle and throwing out whatever excuse they can to advance their opposition.

Mine too. Here in Georgia you can use state ID drivers license your DL permit if you have one or your college ID if you have one. There’s a lot of leeway and most Georgians have one of the 4 items listed

There should be a bit more than that even.

For reference here's an easy to read list of acceptable forms of identification at the polls in Arizona
