If he or she actually has an ID. There are thousands of Americans who do not have what many states say they need as an ID or the cost (not just in terms of money but also in terms of time and distance) of acquiring it is beyond their means. You would be amazed how many Americans don't even have an official birth certificate, but when they show people what they do have, there are those who claim that it's not really a proper birth certificate.
We only have to look at our current President and the problems he had in convincing some people that he was actually born in this country. What about the poor families where all their children were born at home, delivered by their grandmothers or the local midwife, never even involving doctors or hospitals simply because they lived where there were no doctors and the nearest hospital was 40 miles away, which was my wife's situation. Thank God no one asked to see her 'birth certificate' when she enrolled in school, got her first driver's license or registered to vote. But if we moved to Wisconsin (or one of those other states that require ID) are you suggesting that she not be allowed to vote (perhaps we could use her California Drivers License for ID)?
And then there are places like Texas where you can show your concealed carry permit and vote, but a state issued student ID is considered invalid. Where is the equity there?
