Seems to me that a standard form of ID will eventually help correct inaccurate voter registration lists, the inconsistencies you mention will get corrected once and forever when they are discovered.
Sure, it's odd, but racism and lust for power create a lot of odd situations. You are mistaken that the problems created by this would eliminate Republicans and Democrats equally. All they need is to eliminate more Democrats than Republicans , and often that can be done by focusing on discouraging voting in key precincts. Why do you think Republicans concentrate their suppression efforts in black precincts? If Granny Huck can't vote, that's too bad, but as long a three black people for every Granny Huck are discouraged or eliminated from voting, they win.
