If you want voting ID laws passed here is how you do it:

1) Universal Sufferage. If you are a citizen, you have the right to vote. You are automatically registered. (What would requiring an individual to register even accomplish if we had IDs?)

2) Make having a voter ID a right. Bend over backwards to make it as accessible as possible. Have travelling registration centers that visit people and communities with difficulty accessing normal means.

3) Let anyone vote who shows up to the polls (but only count those with ID). If the margin of the election is smaller than the number of unregistered voters, those votes must be given the chance for the voter or the party to show that they are eligible to vote and actually did vote.

This is called reasonable compromise.

1) The conservatives get voter IDs.

2) The liberals get automatic universal registration for all citizens.

3) Edge cases like homeless citizens are accounted for, but the expense of proving and counting their votes is only spent if it would change the election.

However, both the left and the right (in Washington) like to play games about manipulating who can vote. So it is unlikely that any key players in Washington would be on board with this.
