I think people are missing the point in these arguments.
In most large cities that have decent public transportation, a large portion of the population doesn't have a car. If you don't have a car, there's not a whole lot of incentive to pay for a driver's license and keep it current every 4 years or whatever.
The no-car/no-license group crosses demographic lines. It's not just poor minorities.
The real issue is that the populations of cities tend to be heavily Democrat. This is the sole reason why the Republican party is pushing so hard for the voter ID laws.
There's no actual fraud. It's just invented boogeymen to scare people into agreeing with them. Just think about it... In the absence of a photo ID requirement, if I go and pretend to be someone else and vote in their place, what happens when the real person actually shows up to vote? If the fraud was a rampant as the pro-ID people imply, the scenario I described would have happened multiple times. There would be records of it happening, and it would be on the news.
If you think about it, the real fraud, if it actually exists, would likely be happening with absentee ballots. You don't have to go to a physical polling place and talk to anyone. You just fill it out and mail it in. However, nobody is pushing for outlawing absentee ballots.
