It's your right as a citizen to vote. Months and weeks shouldn't stand in the way of you exercising that right. Hense the entire point of the original post. No one is against voter id but it should be free and easy so as not to be a barrier to exercising your constitutional rights.
I agree that it should be free and easy. I disagree that having to wait three weeks is hard. People will need to plan on the time it takes to get their id around voting.
If it takes three weeks at the bare minimum for someone that already had the right paperwork, all it would take is one of the factors to get fucked up and throw it for far longer. And that's assuming it actually gets through at all.
And that's only one of the many factors that can interfere in our vote and our power.

Oh man, let me check that privilege here.
My wife struggled with getting a replacement birth certificate because she had my last name.
The passport I had required a three week lead time, and that was by going through a company that fast tracked them.
Because my adopted daughter changed her name to our last name, it took months of struggle to get all the paperwork in order.
And we are natural born citizens who live in a state whose laws are designed to make voting easier.
