I don’t understand why this is a contentious issue. You’re required as an adult to have ID on you when you’re out in public. You have to show ID to buy cigarettes, or beer, or a car, or a gun, why wouldn’t you show ID when you vote? It’s not like it’s hard, since you’ll have it on you already. Granted, mail-in ballots are a way better system anyways, so they shouldn’t even be doing in-person voting, but what’s the argument against IDs?
