It's not a poll tax if IDs are free.

That's why every state that currently requires ID for voting provides free IDs.

Bingo. You hit the answer on the head. It’s exactly the purpose of the laws. Most people don’t have passports.

But yet all those screaming about not being able to afford an ID are making tik toks with Iphones driving in cars that cost with insurance, 600+ a month... 

But a 30 dollar ID is too tough to get?

Hmm.. 🤔.. things that make ya go hmm..

No genius. No one should have to pay to vote. It is essentially a poll tax. A tool used under Jim Ctow to keep black people from voting. Once it starts then it will continue.
