I'm not sure about the young part, and throwing that in makes it sound like you've been watching Fox hosts for information, which imo, is not usually really helpful to understanding issues from both sides.
There are arguments on both sides, but the liberal or more democratic angle is that minorities and poor people who are more likely to vote for democrsts are more likely to not have state issued IDs, while conservatives and Republicans tend to focus on stopping voter fraud, which they claim is an old democratic strategy and Democrats say is statistically insignificant.
I'm inclined to see the problems with voter ID, and think that Trump's aborted commission to find millions of fraudulent Hillary voters says something on the issue, in addition to saying something about Trump.
But nobody can defend voter fraud, and the fight against requiring state issued IDs seems like a losing battle, even if it's for a good cause.
