Of these states, six have Democratic trifectas, 23 have Republican trifectas, and seven have divided governments. There are currently 14 states that do not require identification at the polls outside of what is required by federal law. Of these 14 states, 10 have Democratic trifectas, and four have a divided government.
Identification can mean a lot of different things. It could mean bringing a utility bill and a pay stub with your name on it. It could be a student ID or work ID. The “state or federal ID only” states are the most strict and you need to consider the difficulty of getting an up to date ID. My wife had to drive to a different county to get a new drivers license because in our county the wait was 3 months long.
