all sides have their issues, some of the very same people pushing for national id flip out if you suggest voter registration require proof of eligibility. One person's identification is another person's suppression. Then you can toss in the privacy advocates who will give you an earful about the susceptibility of any system.
what turns all of this, politicians, exploiting the fears of different voting bases to their own ends. this is where the real problem is. by keeping a permanent state of exploitation of fears, unfounded and real, politicians can keep their position indefinitely as well as the wealth they gain for themselves, friends, and family. In the end it all comes down to money

Those are two very different situations - just because both share the element of identification doesn't mean that an apples-to-apples is fair or accurate. It's not.
