Link the stats please. There are ID types other than driver's licenses. In fact, the DMVs around the country issue non-driver IDs that are every bit as good as driver licenses as IDs.

Feel free to find other sources too.

Many Americans do not have ID. I don't know why that's so controversial to say.

You don't need an ID to get a job, or rent, or do much of anything. Typically, a bill + address suffices.

You're correct SOME states offer ID that IS NOT a Driver's License. However, there's no reason to get this - why would you? Again, you don't need it for anything so why bother?
