In a RollingStone article by Ari Berman, the hot topic on whether or not voter identification is constitutional or not is discussed.  In my personal opinion I don't see anything wrong with this. With IDs costing from $5-35 dollars depending on which state you live in, acquiring one should not be a problem.

"More than 10 percent of U.S. citizens lack such
identification, and the numbers are even higher among constituencies that
traditionally lean Democratic – including 18 percent of young voters and
25 percent of African-Americans" With this many people (roughly 300000 people) if these people did not acquire a legal ID, the outcome of an election could be affected. Voter fraud (using a different name to vote, sometimes multiple times) accounts for many votes each election, with more than 24 million voter registrations invalid, yet they still remain on the rolls nation-wide. Voter fraud is the main reason to institute voter id.

Many arguments say that this is a law to stop poor people form voting, but for less than the price to take a family of four to eat at a fast food restaurant, an ID can be purchased. Just abstaining from eating out one night a week and soon that would be enough for an entire family to get IDs. Another argument against voter ID is that some people don’t drive and don’t have one, and it is too hard to get one. All you have to do is go to the DMV and bring your social security card, school ID or birth certificate and pay the fee.

To buy alcohol or tobacco you must show an ID, so why is it considered unconstitutional to show ID for voting? The only people against voter ID laws are those that exploit them. Voter ID also keeps non-citizens from voting, which makes the election truer.

Voter ID laws will only affect those too lazy to acquire an ID, so most people will not be affected by these laws very much. Those who do chose to be lazy, also chose to forfeit their right to vote.
