Progressive Idea: Increasing ways to get valid Voter ID's

One idea that makes sense even though Donald Trump and vote suppressing conservatives believe in it is proving you are who you are when you vote. We have always had to do it in Arizona so I do not see the problem. However, there are circumstances like when people that are elderly and do not drive anymore for example that furnishing id can be difficult. Here are some ideas to get people id's with little to no fuss.

1) For the elderly who no longer drive, either send them new social security cards with their pictures on it or take them to the Motor Vehicles Division and just get a non license photo id.

2) For young people just turning 18, either give them the photo id when they register for the draft, get their drivers license or graduate from high school. They would get new id's when they renew their license.

I am sure there are other ideas. The main point is that we should not deny a persons right to vote because they could not easily get valid photo identification.
