A better question though, is why exactly it does help.

Why is it that somebody who takes the minimal effort required to get out and get an ID is more likely to vote Republican?

That's a pretty faulty premise.

In the case of Texas, as I pointed out, they allowed hunting licenses but not student ID's. 

In North Carolina, they didn't allow public assistance ID's or state employee ID's, despite both being issued by the government. These are ID's that are often used as the primary ID's for people without vehicles. A GOP lawmaker argued you couldn't use a federal public assistance ID because it wasn't issued by the state, but the law allowed military ID's...

In Alabama, they temporarily closed DMV's in areas that were predominantly Black

in North Dakota, they stopped allowing PO boxes for voter registration for American Indians who did not have physical street addresses on their reservations.

In general people who live in urban areas are more likely to vote Democratic but more likely to live in poverty. A variety of issues, including working hours, transportation options, and costs then act as barriers.
