You are conflating two things: a national/"universal" form of ID, and voter ID.

Voter ID is the requirement to show ID at polling stations in order to vote. That's what the left is generally concerned about. It's a separate concern from whether a national ID card ought to exist.

On the other hand, the existence of a national ID card is generally opposed by people on the right, which is the opposite of how they feel about voter ID.

The right at this point has long been pretty in favor of the surveillance state. Both sides have frankly.
