Currently, 30 states have laws that require voters to show some form of strict identification when they vote in person. Voters without a valid state ID are able to apply for no-fee ID cards before the election. Supporters say that voting should be treated like driving a car or boarding an airplane and presenting an ID is necessary to prove the identity of everyone who votes. Opponents say this disadvantages the elderly and the poor who do not drive and do not have the resources to apply for an ID.
