The Short Answer
A lot of it has to do with older people, they usually vote and they either have lost their ID from years of living life or didn't have transportation to get to locations to get a new voter ID or renew their old one. Since a lot of older people vote its much more difficult for them to get to the voting booth let alone the dmv where if you get there late you may end up standing for hours. In undeserved or poor areas they tend to have less resources at the dmv, I grew up in a poor area and I remeber waiting atleast 5 hours just to get my first id, most old people don't have the stamina. Another issue is keeping all those documents after so many years of life you need your ss, your birth certificate, mail in your name a bill etc. While it's not a problem for all older people a large amount of them do have these issues. Unless us tax payers for the bill for busing them or finding a new way to direct deliver older people id's and other forms of identification.
