I got a state ID when I was 13 so that I could use traveler's checks on a school trip to DC. My mom took me to the DMV with my birth certificate, filled out the form with my information, paid the fee, and had my picture taken. The most difficult part was waiting for my number to be called.
I know that in California, they have a reduced fee program for ID cards if you meet the income requirements, and I believe that other states have programs to provide free ID cards. I honestly don't see how democrats can even pretend that requiring an ID is disenfranchisement.
