I'm OK with requiring a photo ID for voting, but only if the ID is free and easy to get (i.e., you don't have to travel 50 miles to the next county).  If you have to pay for the necessary ID, it becomes in effect a poll tax, which is prohibited by the 24th Amendment.
Voter ID states have provisions that allow for free state-issued ID cards to be issued to those who do not have other acceptable ID, specifically to avoid 24A violations.

Many low-income people do not even have bank accounts or credit cards. There will always be a small minority of people who are marginalized from all aspects of society, including elections. Voter ID laws or the lack thereof does not affect how marginalized these people are from the political process. This is unfortunate, but it will always be this way.

Employers should be required to give employees a few hours off to vote if their work hours do not allow them sufficient time to vote before or after work. Early/absentee voting should be available for people who will be out of the district on election day. You should be able to cast a ballot and leave the polling station within an hour. Those are the only accommodations to make voting easier that I support.

Protecting the the ballot box is extremely important, and fraud statistics are irrelevant to what is really a matter of principle. We need to demand more from the electorate of the greatest country in the world, not less.

If Trump invented a new type of gaffe, there has to be a new word for whatever The Daily Beast is, because it's not a news organization.

Technically, it's not possible to win something that is not being contested.
