What if the arguments being made against each, rather than for, are compared?

Vaccine passports will likely require photo id to ensure you are the person with the vaccination record. If requiring IDs to vote disenfranchises a portion of the population, wouldn't requiring IDs for X have the same effect? In example, what happens to those who cannot get an ID due to immigration status or other reasons?

In places that implement vaccine passports now, photo IDs aren't used. Rather QR codes on your phone are used. Check out https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2021/08/11/south-dakotan-livin...

But then again, some states are experimenting with digital IDs on your phone also (so you don't have to carry around your DL anymore).

This is separate from the idea of comparing the arguments against requiring IDs from the cross product of { two camps X two applications }
