The two are not distinct when it comes to voter ID in the US.
The fact this isn't the fucking United Kingdom we're discussing. Context.A voter ID MUST be free for anyone to acquire, be very low cost, and it MUST contain a photo of the holder as well as a name. Anything else won't work.
Meanwhile, such a thing exists today, and it costs around 10 pence and anybody can get it. We already have the ID we need. What's the problem here?
