To be fair, most or all of those countries don't grant their citizens inalienable rights. America has to navigate more complex judicial waters than the rest of us because of this.
I'd take the voter ID BS over my country's Notwithstanding Clause that allows suspension of any constitutional challenge for 5 years without contest by the country or any province. Along with our "guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law" where "Reasonable" has a legal definition a mile wide when employed in bad faith.
Your constitutional rights are special and the fight should be finding a way to get IDs to all citizens, free of charge, and with whatever assistance an individual requires. There should be a drive for this every 2 years in the non-election years. A single PAC worth of contributions could probably buy this.
