It appears the states don't really think so, and the public isn't on board either.
Too many hoops to jump through.
It should be more of an automatic process for people who already have various forms of photo ID; especially people with a long history of well documented citizenship.
People already have many forms of ID for a wide variety of needs, from driver's licenses, to social security, to health care, to government jobs...and many more.
If the Federal Government wants this, let them do the work to assemble the needed information.
