Did you know you need an ID to get welfare and other government assistance.
So if you are too poor to afford an ID, then you should probably be getting assistance, and in that case again you need an ID.
Also you won't find many people that do not either drink or smoke, both with require an ID. (also are spendy. Basically one case of beer costs the same as a drivers license/ID)
So please drop that bullshit, can't afford an ID. Besides, many of the states that are trying to implement ID laws, have it in the proposed law that ID's will be free.

[edit: original was too harsh.
[You say many, but I presume this means "not all". I would still say that any required voter ID should be free; otherwise it's a fancy poll tax. Do you support/accept or oppose poll taxes?]

They all could be for all I know. I just didn't say all, because if there was one that wasn't then someone would come in an cherry pick my comment saying that's not true, like you did.
You already ignored my first three paragraphs that make the last one meaningless. An ID costs like $25. If you can't F*cking afford an id, then you should be getting government assistance. OH, and as I said, to get assistance, you need an ID.
And you know what poor people consume more of than people ell off? Alcohol and tobacco. Both which REQUIRE an ID.
Is is a fancy poll tax? No. Life is incredibly hard without an ID. You can't legally get gov't assistance, drive, drink, smoke, have a bank acct, get a job, ect. All those things you need to do illegally without an ID. So pray tell me, why someone would not want an ID. Getting one makes ones life infinitely easier.
