First things first, I don't doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn't.

But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?

Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don't have to pre-register to vote.

States have some reciprocity, the recognizing of another state's license as it's own, but if isn't always universal. For instance, the USA is going through a two decade plus upgrade to driver's licenses and non-license ID's to include proof of citizenship because a lot of states dragged their feet in implementing the additional filing systems required. Even then, states are still allowed to issue non-compliant ID's and people will get them because they don't want to spend the extra time to get them.
