Those already exist. They're called voter registration cards. You get one when you register. When you register, you need to show proof of age and citizenship. After you're registered, your name is on the voter rolls, available to poll workers at your polling station. When you show up to vote, you're checked against the rolls.

What the Republicans want is to add an additional level of complexity, redundancy and cost to a process that's already working. The problem they claim to be addressing doesn't exist and they know it. They just want to make it harder for identifiable Democratic voters to vote.
