Whereas they will accept a driver's license from any state in the union.

If, then, the state driver's license becomes the standard, what happens to the people without one? Are they only allowed to vote in local and state elections until they are licensed drivers?

The other answer to the problem of ID is to compel all the states to tighten up their issuing criteria. Who would do that? The Feds. Who would set the acceptable criteria? Again, the Feds. So who might just as well be issuing the cards?

The DHS is already trying to consolidate all the criminal background and security clearance databases so that access is easier for law enforcement. Can the state ID databases really be that far behind?
