This should be the first thing passed. We should standardize voting by requiring some form of ID to vote. I worked the polls in TEXAS. We don't require a photo ID but we require some form of ID. As long as they are on the rolls, we accept any form of ID such as credit cards, printed checks with their name on it or driver's license. I don't understand why this is such a big deal.
As an interim, yes it would be nice if Driver's Licenses could be used to "fortify" proof of citizenship at the polls.
You wanna hear some irony? Take the tobacco companies offering special "miles" bonus gifts. Did you know, in order to use those "miles" and get those bonus gifts, one must send in a photocopy of their driver's licenses? Imagine that... more proof required here, than at our own election booths.
