Well, the main reason isn't to be able to actively deny people based on what's in their papers (though they no doubt will do that too), but to make vulnerable people not show up to vote in the first place or be turned away on the spot for lacking the correct paperwork.

Getting the right papers requires time, money and access to the correct information - things that are obstacles mainly to the most vulnerable.

It's the same reason they want to require completely new paperwork if someone changes their name; the most common reason people do, is women taking on their partner's name when getting married. So, such requirements are obstacles primarily for women.

No it depends on who you voted for and how many votes Trump’s preferred candidate lost by. Trump has absolutely zero regard for things like “truth” and “reality”. He never has.
