The only answer for this Voter ID problem is to issue a National Federal Voter ID Card to all legal, voting age Americans, that is recognized as unambiguously legal for Federal Elections nationwide. The ID would only be used in State and Local Elections if State Governments approved them, but in the case of Federal Elections, Poll workers would have to explain to the Federal Government any denial of the right to vote to a citizen who presents the National Voter ID when attempting to cast a vote in a Federal Election.
In addition to the National Voter ID Card for Federal Elections, there should also be rules for uniform voting machines for Federal Elections, and a mandated number of Voting Machines available in each precinct based on voting population to reduce wait times.
Additionally, the Federal Voter ID Card would be linked to voter registration rolls maintained by the US Justice Department, or Secret Service to insure there is no tampering or unlawful purging.
This is the only way to put voter suppression at the state level in Federal Elections by misuse of voter id requirements under control.
