A common suggestion is to just issue the ID free of charge. Considering the state of government invasion of liberty in America, this seems like a no-brainer step in the right direction at minimal cost.

ID is free at your local DMV office... which is a five minute drive away if you’re in an area that votes properly, and a three-hour bus ride with eight transfers if you’re not.

Of course, without voter ID, the same people are just pulling that trick with polling places directly.

Indeed. That’s at least a little more obvious and a little easier to resist.

Doing things for free is something that the Republicans are also ideologically opposed to though...
