People say voter fraud is not a problem, but how is that even verified when IDs aren't required? I'm pretty sure most other countries have ID laws for good reason.

Voting ID laws ARE an issue. It's easy to say everyone should have an ID, but it's not that simple. Some places require IDs, birth certificates, etc. Elderly people usually don't have that. Poor people don't have licenses because most don't drive. Voter fraud is a stupid argument because there is no evidence that people go and vote for someone that isn't them.
NC is just one place. There are issues about suppressing blacks and Latinos. Or not letting felons who are let out to vote. It's a wide range of issues that helps Republicans, white men. College IDs are not accepted, and a lot of millennials, most don't drive, don't have the proper ID.
It's unnecessary also because to vote in multiple poll places, you have to have multiple permanent living residents. And not many people do. Say your name and your address and you vote. Your name is then taken off the list so it's very hard for someone to come after you and use your name.

Not this
a non driver or poor people dont have to get a drivers license to have identification you can get a State ID card

which is $13 in NC, free for the homeless and for people over 70 in "NC" and If you lost your ID or drivers license and need a replacement you just go and get one your documents are already on file. My cousin actually lost his out of state Drivers License from PA and he recently moved to Fl so he called a DMV in PA and they sent him out a temporary paper ID card they stamped and signed it and told him to take that into the FL DMV to get a FL hard copy

so your not making any sense in all honesty. You need a birth certificate and another form of identification like a Social Security to "originally" get one
https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/driver/id/
NC is actually one of the cheapest states to obtain State identification cards in FL for factual example (where I'm at) the cost is $25 for a State issue ID or Drivers License
Also I can go to my brothers precinct and say I'm my brother and cast a vote and than go to my precinct and cast my vote. This is why IDs are needed it has nothing to do with the suppression of Black and Latinos
Also you need a government issue ID to apply for Foodstamps I bet the poor had no problem showing that
