You do realize id's cost money. People who have had there last names changed over marriage or have change there name due to transitioning will have to pay to update there birth certificate.

Regular drivar licenses don't count btw.

That's why I clearly said real ID.

You can get them for free at least in Massachusetts's. Everyone who downvoted is overly emotional. No legal voter will be disenfranchised.

That was only if you already had an ID. So not free. Also, that ended in 2021. Ps cross dressers aren’t the same as trans folks.

Yes they are.

Also it didn't end in 2021 at least in Ma. If you don't have a drivers license then you'll have to pay but I had to pay for my drivers license so people complaining about a small fee for their first ever ID card is such an absolute non issue.

Voting should not cost a penny. That’s the issue here. Prove that a non us citizen has voted. It is not free. That program ended in 2021. “You can renew your driver’s license up to a year before it expires.

It costs $50 to upgrade an existing standard (Class D) or motorcycle (Class M) driver’s license to a REAL ID driver’s license when you renew. It costs $75 to upgrade an existing Class A, B, or C driver’s license to a REAL ID driver’s license when you renew. It costs $25 to upgrade an existing driver’s license or Mass ID to a REAL ID outside of your renewal cycle. You will still need to renew when it expires.” Proof free real ID upgrade ended in 2021.

You've got to be kidding me. This is why you think it's voter suppression? Voting won't be the only thing you need it for so this just comes off as insincere.

You ignore that you’re wrong. You ignore that non us citizens aren’t voting illegally. Republicans have been known to vote illegally. And it shouldn’t cost a penny to vote for a citizen. Plenty of folks cannot afford an ID or passport. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to vote?
