Your saying it's a dichotomy doesn't make it so.
Everyone still won't have ID. You're assuming because it's free everyone will get it. Remove the price. Put it in their hands. People lose things and are too lazy to get one. There will inevitably be identification requirements to receive one. You're idea changes little.

And yes, that is the choice no matter how you want to frame it. Any action to filter who votes will have unintended consequences. You cannot eliminate voter fraud. The choice is always: which measures make the biggest positive impact on voter fraud vs Neenah impact on disenfranchising voters? It's a spectrum not a zero sum game
