Unless these id's are provided free and are easy to get (ie within walking distance) and the wait times on these is not significant (ie in line for over an hour) there isn't' a problem. The problem is that most of the id's cost money, require you to drive 10 miles to the dmv, and require you to wait for 3 hours in line.
The poor that work hourly may not be able to take off a half day of work to get one of these, they also may not be able to get transportation to the place to get it, or afford it when they get there.
I think the people requiring these id's should have the burden of proving that lack of them is causing significant fraud.
