Have you familiarized yourself with some of the required documents needed for even a free ID, and some challenges some people have obtaining those documents?

Did you know that many of the things tha require an ID in the list in your first post, the places will accept an expired state ID? Guess where you can't use an expired state ID? So they should get a new one. Fair. Did you know in a transient society/economy a lot of people move between states, and some states require a current state ID to obtain a new state ID in that state?

Sometimes considering these things requires a little thinking outside the box and some empathy. Yes, to you and me it's a foreign concept to get through life without a driver's license or ID. There's a wealth of information out there that won't satiate your confirmation bias like this board will that can answer your question.

I don't think Voter ID law are inherently racist. I do think they're an attempt to discourage certain demographics from voting, or at the least make it more challenging for them.
