If we assume you're right that voter suppression is rampant (it's not), strong and clear voter ID laws would make it easier to vote by removing some of the morass and vagaries that make voting in the US just plain confusing and for some people here.
Why do you have to be so tiresome? Do you think you're being clever?

1) The issue isn't whether voter suppression is rampant or not (I have no idea about the true extent of it), the issue is whether or not these policies are designed to make it so it can be rampant. Specifically, they will give corrupt local/state politicians more tools to play with, as in the examples earlier in this thread with the closure of all the places you can get ID in democrat areas.
2) What morass of varies will be clarifying by adding a requirement for an ID to vote? Give examples. If you're going to argue that adding a requirement to do something where previously there was no requirement is going to somehow make voting easier then you're going to have actually justify your reasoning.
3) You say some people find voting confusing. Which people, and what do they find confusing? Give examples.
