Just something to throw in the conversation. But again, I see no problem with asking for an ID. Even the supreme court said Illegal aliens can vote.
I want to know why the democrats are so passionate about this.
Ok, to put it another way, what countries don't require you to carry an ID?

The democrats are passionate about it for two main reason.
The are passionate about the ID law because there was a story a while back about how roughly 10% of those people who are likely to vote democrat (this was from the proposed law in Pennsylvania in 2012) lacked the proper ID that would allow them to vote. Yes, they could get those ID, but many likely wouldn't for numerous reasons which means it would be lost votes for them.
The second thing they are passionate about is the reduction in early voting days. The numbers show that in all but a few states democrats take advantage of early voting days more than republicans. In many states it was a 10% or greater edge for democrats. They feel less early voting days will cause them to potentially lose votes and I think they are correct.
