The official reason is the level of verification required in order to get any of those IDs. It is, or so I read, notably harder to get a 60+ card than it is any of the others.
That may be true, or it may not be. But the very fact that you can use one but not the others has been echoing loudly amongst the usual suspects on Twitter. I’ve seen the phrase ‘voter suppression’ a lot in recent weeks.
