The major benefit of voter id laws is that they protect against voter fraud ensuring that only legal us citizens are able to vote. this preserve the integrity of us democracy. however, voter id laws also deprive many voters of their right to vote and reduce participation in elections. a full 11% of americans have no idea and getting a id costs money that they may not be able to afford. travel to get the id can also be a burden for the elderly and disabled. furthermore, voter id laws discriminate against minorities since a disproportionate number of minorities lack ids. the laws are also selectively enforced with minorities having their id questioned more. the fairest voter id policy that would result in the most free and fair electoral process is to move away from elections that function by forcing people to go to the polls. instead, we should move to a universal ballot delivery system similar to oregon's. citizen's ballots are directly mailed to their homes and then they can either mail them back or put them in a secure drop box. this eliminates the need for voter id and addresses concerns about voter fraud.
