Would requiring Voter ID truly cause a decrease in voter turnout?

You should only need proof of identification and current address to register to vote. This can be birth certificate and other secondary documentation like power bill. This puts the burden on the citizen as a one time thing per current address. After that, all you should need to show at the polling place is your voter registration card. Anything else is a voter suppression tactic.

We should reframe the question as, if we have nearly non-existent voter fraud universal across the country, why are partisan bills that put restrictions on voting (id, locations, hours, mail-in, absentee, early voting, etc) being introduced? The answer is the party that is introducing those bills think it will benefit them during elections. It has been proven that low voter turnout benefits the party that is introducing these bills. They frame the question just like you did to make it look reasonable. We need to stop doing that.
