[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many states have free state-issued ID.

The Government Accountability Office studied the effect that voter-ID laws have on turnout in the 17 states that require voters to show government-issued ID at the polls. Driver's licenses and state-issued IDs are the two most common forms of identification, and they don't run cheap. An inexpensive driver's license will set you back just under $15, but some states' cost almost $60.

[b]Sixteen of the 17 states in the study offer a free alternative to driver's licenses or state IDs for residents.[/b]

Yes, but getting the required documents together can be a real burden for some. What don’t you understand? It was a ROYAL pain to switch to real ID for example. Proof of name change, residency, social security card, etc.

Whether you like it or not, it’s not easy for some people but they are entitled to vote anyway.[/quote]
