This is a left/right issue because Democrats in the USA like to use a couple of choice arguments, chock full of blanket statements and racial undertones:
#1: Poor people and minorities (who or more likely to be poor or, perhaps, won't get an ID because they are too busy fighting The Man) will be disproportionately affected by ID laws, and in at least one of the cases in the high court the voter advocacy group sued under the guise that the law was discrinimatory against minorities
#2: Very little voter fraud has been discovered, therefore it must not happen. Of course, no one looks for it and there is very little governance over the issue, but that is a moot point for the left


To take a page from the play book of US Democrats, I think we may be the only industrialized democracy on the planet that does not require an ID to vote.

I do not see it as a left/right issue, but that is what it has become. It is discussed almost in passing amongst the talk shows. No one debates this from the left, they just throw out pointless statistics and heart wrenching tales of grandma, and call supporters racist. It is obvious pandering. It is obvious there is fraud. I am insulted byt heir arguments
