Indeed. I'm in Canada too so that's why this is familiar to you. As an anecdote, I don't drive and have no license. Once, a long time ago, an election worker was kind of insisting that I had to show one to vote. I had the other required documents and was able to vote but not having a diver's license apparently made them suspicious. And that was my biggest hurdle with providing ID at an election!
Lots of comments can be read about people not going to vote, some even blaming them for the election results, but it's just incredible how difficult they seem to make voting in the US.

You can literally show up buck naked and have your next door neighbour vouch for you.
If anyone is prevented from voting, they should make a report regardless of if they think it was right or not.
Look at that list of acceptance ID, literally a pill bottle and your work issued ID will count as two pieces.
