I get the anecdote. OTOH opening a bank account also needs an id, but everyone banks. So why will a national id suppress voting?

definitely not true - apparently 7% don't use banks - much higher percentage with low-income http://fortune.com/2016/09/08/unbanked-americans-fdic/ …

And check-cashing sites also need ids. Would love to see actual A-B test that ids lead to lower turnout, not anecdotes/FUD.

Agreed. Want to grab dinner some time and see if we can find prior natural experiments which will help answer this question?
