On the other hand, unless you are one of the 538 electors, you don't have a constitutional right to vote for the president.
So if "constitutional rights" is the determining factor, it's the ID requirement for guns that you should be fighting against.
Also this topic isn't limited to presidential elections, so that Electoral College logic loophole doesn't apply to all elections.
There are a lot of people for whom the 'small' barrier to entry of dealing with state bureaucracy is much larger than it is in your world.
Voter ID would be important, but unfortunately, the Republican Party has repurposed the concept as a tool of oppression rather than a way to secure the vote. People are rightly wary of the idea because of this, and will continue to be wary of it until free and no-hassle IDs are available to everyone first.
> However, for most people in America I would wager that this is not the case at all
Most? Probably. But "most" doesn't matter. Voting is a fundamental part of the democratic process, and "most" still leaves millions of people in the lurch. Make it "all" and then I'll stop being upset about it.
From TSA's website[1]:
>In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.
