I answered to this same question earlier and I assume that this is applicable to all the states in the United States.I reside in the state of California and I checked with the DMV about the procedure.

It’s not racist. It’s elitist. The basic objective is to disenfranchise anyone for whom proving their residence and/or their citizenship to the standards required by the REAL ID Act would be impossible, impractical or legally inconvenient, even though the person is a legal U.S. citizen and resident.To obtain a REAL ID-compliant identification card, you must prove all of the following:Your real, full nameYour date of birthYour Social Security Number (or that you’re ineligible for one)Your address of principal residenceYour legal residency status in this countryYou have your birth certificate, a Social Security card and a recent utility bill in your name? Great, you’re golden.But what if you don’t? Ask the people who had to flee the wildfires in California on a moment’s notice whether they can prove to Federal standards that they are who they say they are, that they live where they say they live, and they belong in this country because they were born here, all right this moment. Ask the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Or Maria. A significant percentage of them will not be able to produce the documentation they’d need to get a REAL ID if they didn’t already have one.Sure, you can request a new copy of your birth certificate. You just need your full name, city/county of birth, date of birth, a valid reason to obtain the document, between $15 and $30 depending on whether you have to pay a convenience fee to the online broker handling your request, and proof of your identity in the form of a compliant, valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or US passport. Similarly, you need to prove your identity with one of the same cards or documents to get your SSN card replaced. So if you lose it all including your REAL ID, or you never had one to begin with, you’re pretty hosed.More to the point, ask someone born two months early to a woman they’ve never known, whose birth certificate and SS card got left behind two foster homes back and whose case officer quit CPS in disgust three years ago, to produce the documentation needed to obtain a REAL ID. He might actually have a better shot at eventually getting those papers, because his identity is all over CPS’s records; he’d just need a case worker willing to help an aged-out foster kid on top of their existing case load.Ask the guy who now lives with his girlfriend in Section 8 housing off the contract after losing his package-handling job to a robot. Not a convict, not a dope slinger, not a gang-banger, just a down-on-his luck guy. Who happens to be among the roughly 30% of Section 8 inhabitants who are living there illegally, and who, if the landlord ever became aware of that and could prove it, would get himself and his girlfriend kicked out of their apartment, sued for back rent and ineligible for subsidized housing for life. He might have his papers, if he was able to grab them while ducking out of his apartment in the middle of the night, but many states require the address on his ID and the address on the voter registration to match. If his ID’s out of date because it’s his old apartment he was kicked out of when he lost his job, by law he’s required to update that address to his new resident address. Where he’s not supposed to be, so obviously the lease and utility bills aren’t in his name. And if he showed up to the DMV with his girlfriend and had her sign an affidavit that he lived with her, it’s now a matter of official record that they’re committing welfare fraud.Back to those wildfire and hurricane victims; many of them are living in their cars, on plots of land still in declared disaster areas (houses have a lot of toxic shit in them, and when they burn those toxins turn to ash and get rained into the soil and groundwater) where public utilities no longer exist and basic services aren’t being provided. For all purposes, they don’t live where they live. The deed is ash, or mush. Utility bills that showed their address are either ash/mush or haven’t come in months. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of people displaced by these kinds of fires and floods, who still have a right to vote, but can’t prove it to the degree necessary to replace their documents and get a photo ID that would be accepted.Now ask any of these people how they’re likely to vote. Sure, there’s likely to be a few Republicans in the crowd, especially among Gulf Coast disaster victims, but you’re very likely to find a majority of these people very much in favor of increased funding for government assistance programs, and very unlikely to agree that their situation is all their own fault and they need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and stop dragging the rest of the country down with them.People less likely to be able to procure a REAL ID-compliant identification card to use as their photo ID for an election, for any reason ranging from cost to availability of documents to lack of a physical residence, tend to be people, of any race, who need and receive government assistance and are very much in favor of these programs continuing, whether for themselves or others. That makes them more likely to vote Democrat.Now let’s see which states have a Voter ID law:Red is “strict photo ID”; you need a valid state issued photo ID (most of which have to be REAL ID-compliant) to vote, no substitutions.Amber is “non-strict photo ID”; a state-issued photo ID is highly preferred, but the law allows voting without one in various circumstances and with an alternate process of affirming your identity and residence.Dark blue is “strict non-photo ID”; you need some sort of proof of identity and residence to vote, but it doesn’t have to be a photo ID (a utility bill and some proof of your name is fine).Light blue is “non-strict non-photo ID”; voting is easier and faster for you if you can prove identity and residence in any way, but you can cast a ballot without meeting the requirements.Now, let’s look at the legislative majorities in State legislatures across the country:With the exception of Rhode Island and Hawaii, every state with a “strict” voter ID law, and/or a photo ID requirement to vote, passed that law through a Republican-majority legislature.Correlation doesn’t prove causation, but it’s a pretty strong indicator.Now, you may at this point be saying, “well OK, but the stated point of these laws is to prevent voter fraud, and that’s a good thing, so is it a net good?”That’s a fair question. In 2016, the State of Wisconsin, which had the toughest Voter ID law at the time, saw 300,000 fewer votes cast in the 2016 elections than in 2012. There are myriad reasons for that; no Obama on the ticket would naturally reduce black turnout, for instance (and that analysis is valid given the national demographic breakdowns of the vote). But we can surmise that Voter ID is at least partially responsible for the reduction in turnout; Wisconsin’s election commission made it pretty clear that you would be turned away from the polls without an ID.That’s one state in one election. How many instances of voter fraud have there been, to justify some hundreds of thousands being turned away?The Washington Post, a fairly centrist news agency, found 31. From 2000 to 2014. Out of a billion ballots cast.The Heritage Foundation, much more conservative-leaning, found just over 1000 cases. What’s the difference? Not sure, I don’t have a Washington Post subscription, so I can’t view the Post article to see the methodology differences. But even if we accept the Heritage Foundation’s number of 1071 cases over approximately the same 14-year timeframe, the number of people turned away from the polls in one state during one election in the name of preventing this fraud is two orders of magnitude higher than the actual incidence of fraud. Stated statistically, if we were to implement Wisconsin’s Voter ID law nationwide and if we saw a consistent drop in participation as a result, we would be disenfranchising 6% of our country who could and would otherwise vote, to prevent an event that results in 0.0001% of cast ballots being fraudulent.Politicians do things that will get them re-elected. Usually, that means doing what their constituent voters want to happen, because doing so makes the voters happy and gets them another term. However, when we’re talking about the actual mechanics of elections, this “direct the selfishness of the politician for the public good” idea breaks down, because changes to election laws that get the politician reelected are usually not in the best interests of the public. Especially when the stated purpose of that law is to prevent certain people from voting.
