I haven't seen that be suggested, but I do recall people bringing up
places like South Dakota where the nearest DMV may be hours away.

 One wonders, then, if black people are uniquely unable to go to that far-flung
DMV, how it is that driver licenses can be required to drive a vehicle in
South Dakota in the first place?
 If it's racist to ask for an ID to vote because black people can't easily get
the ID, then it would be equally racist to require a license to drive if it
disproportionately affects blacks to such a degree.
 Based on federal civil rights law and the Court cases that have followed from
them, there's no way a state could legally even require a license to drive if
doing so resulted in virtually barring an entire class of people from
something as essential to modern life as the ability to drive a car, based on
nothing but their race.
 

  When I voted in the last election (remember I'm a Canadian) I brought
  my voter card showing where to vote + my drivers' licence. I saw other
  people with various other kinds of ID - they were flexible on what ID
  they would accept but they DID require some sort of ID.
    After I voted I asked how many people were registered to vote from my
  address - then explained that my wife had passed away since the last
  election... (they seemed unhelpful until I mentioned that and said
  "are there two or three? there WERE three in the last election, now
  only two" and they did say two so I thanked them and went on my way.

They had to travel once.  You're repeating whatever inconvenience that entailed.  Moreover, you're doing it because you think they won't...
