If a photo ID is required to vote, it is a barrier unless it is provided free of charge at the time of registration and is automatically renewed without the voter having to do anything. To be quite frank, active voter registration, where the citizen has to do it, is a barrier to voting.
Barriers that can seem insignificant to most people will always impact a portion of the population negatively. Adding another one to solve a non-existent problem seems like a bad idea for a place people like to claim is the freest country on the planet.
