There is the statistical proof. Obviously it's not a question of someone being LITERALLY incapable of getting an ID. But it's a fact that the more roadblocks you throw up between a potential participant and an activity (voting), the fewer participants you will get. It's backed by statistical evidence as well as common sense.
Considering that the vast majority of adult in the United States have some form of government ID its really not a road block to most. Common sense would tell you that if a person is too lazy to get up to get an ID they probably arent getting up to go vote. But any of that is irrelvant. You are claiming that voter ID laws prevent people from voting. Are you demoting your argument to voter id laws discourage voting? those are two separate arguments.
