Several states have implemented voter ID at the same time they severely cut back the number of locations to obtain an ID. The intent is clear--to prevent voters who will have difficulty obtaining the ID from voting. These are people without vehicles, some of whom live in rural areas without public transportation.
Voter ID would be fine if it was easy to obtain for everyone. Currently, depending on the state, it isn't.

@jackjjackson Well. Right now I have a passport and driver's license. I can vote.
In 3 years both expire. I have no idea how I can renew either as they now demand a birth certificate from a state agency. Mine was issued from a county in upstate NY. It's not clear that there is a record of my birth in Albany. Seems not.
So is it hard? I don't know. I've dropped a couple hundred bucks on this so far. I have the wits to track this down. If my IQ was 70 maybe not. If my income was 15K$ year maybe not.
