Crazy no one talks about how the argument against voter ID is that IDs cost money, $90 in Washington. This essentially becomes a Voting Tax.

In most countries that have them, they are free. Taxes already paid for them. Yes, even replacements

In most countries? Really? All countries in Europe I’ve ever heard of make you pay for it. Where is it free?

Its also a bit of a tax if you can only get ids at the dmv, isn’t it?

It's free if you're below a certain income threshold / qualify for aid programs like SNAP etc.

As an aside, I do agree it's crazy to be nickel-and-dimed for things by gov't agencies that my tax dollars have already funded.
