That’s true, but then on the state level, such could be implemented alongside that type of law, within a given state, and then that state would be set up ‘equivalently’, right?
Those two things should go hand in hand, ideally within the same legislation, I’d think.
They are set up by the state.
They cost money, they cost time (to go and get an ID), and they can have a wait to receive it.
It could, but in practice never is; it’s always things like “we want you to put street numbers on your drivers license, but the reservations don’t have street numbers” or “We’ll accept concealed carry permits, but not student IDs” or “gee, urban residents are less likely to have a driver’s license, let’s mandate that”
