"A photo ID is something every legal citizen should have and if the parties focused on this then it could be one of the positives coming out of any election."

Except that Republicans dont want to help people get IDs because the people who need them the most tend to be minorities and poor people - neither of which is a great demographic for Republicans votes.

And Democrats are just, in general, terrible about following through with these issues, and in their current state, are really in no great position to try and push for such things when they are the minority party in nearly all forms of government right now.
