Nope. Ton of states where you don't need ID of any kind. KS is just one example. I am not a Republican either, but I have to agree with them that you should have to provide some ID. Who doesn't have ID and if you don't have ID why do you have the time to vote but not get a government issued ID?

They actually took this to court and the court said it is ok for a state to make a law stating ID is required, but states still don't have to do it.
MSNBC: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights, validating Republican-inspired voter ID laws.
In a splintered 6-3 ruling, the court upheld Indiana's strict photo ID requirement, which Democrats and civil rights groups said would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots. Its backers said it was needed to prevent fraud.
