It’s a funny issue.

For “normal” people, it’s a non-issue. Once you get to the people who fall out of the funnel, it gets more complex. How do you keep ID current for a 95 year old in a nursing home? Or a kid who can’t get vital records documentation?

Compulsory federal ID is a weird issue that the extremes of political discourse agree on, and the moderates mildly support or meh.

Why does a 95 year old in a nursing home make it any different if it is a national ID vs state ID? I'd assume the 95yo no longer has a valid license, but at that point the state ID is issued in its place.

A kid that can't get vital records is also going to have an issue with getting a state ID. So again, doesn't matter if state/national.
