What is wrong with requiring a picture ID to vote?

106. Transportation to the place that takes the picture and issues the ID can

be quite a hurdle for someone who is disabled or very elderly.

IDs are unfair and a no go.

The voter registration process protects the vote from fraud. It is all computerized right now. In California, you have to give either your California ID or drivers' license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number on your registration form which you sign under penalty of perjury. In this computer age, fraud in voter registration is easily discovered at the voting registration stage of the game, and requiring that people show their ID at the polls would slow the voting process. Some people walk just a couple of blocks to vote and don't take their ID with them. I could walk to my polling place without an ID.

I was asked for my ID one time when I voted. So were the people in front of me. Took quite a bit longer to sign in because we had to pull out our IDs.

Showing your ID when you vote is unnecessary. When you vote in my neighborhood, you are likely to be recognized by someone as a neighbor. (I live in a huge city so that's how close the polls are to my neighborhood.) The people working the polls in my specific are are usually pretty prominent in the community.
