Are you not aware that there are numerous non-profit groups who work with the indigent, elderly and others to try to help them get documentation? One of the posters here used to talk about their time volunteering with such groups - I think it might have been David, but it's been a long time.
I think it was MrFungi. I think he was doing it in Detroit, as I recall.
And it's conservatives that don't want a national ID. Dems are -to my knowledge- down with it as long as the IDs are free, and if people need help to produce valid documentation, they get that help (free). MrFungi did a great post a few years ago about the challenges for many people, mostly poor and disenfranchised. When I was in my teens, or maybe early 20s, there was talk of a national ID, and conservatives (of which I was one at that time) were vehemently against it. They were drawing parallels to "your papers please" (and I naively bought it at the time).
