For John, BLUF: I am not troubled by asking for ID to Vote. Nothing to see here; just move along.
So here is a short item on La Raza pushing a handbook on where some form of Identification is NOT required to vote. While it is La Raza, it is readily available information.♠
Then there is this about non-residents voting. One example is Residents of Fredrick County, Maryland avoiding jury duty by saying they are not US Citizens, but then going on to vote in elections. Per the law, you either are or your aren't.
Regarding voter ID,♥ I wonder about why there is opposition to such requirements. We are told it is an imposition. Poor people and minorities supposedly find it hard to get a photo ID. So, how about Lowell General Hospital asking me for my new Mass Driver's License? What, I asked, do you do if someone doesn't have a Driver's License? Ask for another form of photo ID. If you can't get your blood drawn without a Driver's License, why should you be able to vote without one? And, more important, why hasn't the PP & ACA fixed this? People need medical care more frequently than they need voting.
Hat tip to the Instapundit.

♥ Massachusetts is one of those states that authorizes voting personnel to ask for ID.
