Never understood the ID controversy. All politics aside, you use your ID for everything... buying booze, picking up tickets, entry into community events. Further, it's one of the best controlled documents (next to your SS card) to prove your citizenship and address.
I used mine when I voted early. They used it to both verify which local ballot I would receive, as well as to verify my voter registration.

Hard for illegals to vote, if they have to show ID.

I just voted on Ohio Issue 2, which forbids non-citizens from voting in local elections. There was a ruling that with home rule some places could allow that.

We talked about this years ago wrt NYC, iirc. Supposedly it's not illegal because the constitution said "persons" not "citizens."
However, I'd think that any locality can choose what rules it wants.

There seems to be a conflict between accessibility and transparency as far as voting goes. Which is more important?
