Now I do see a legitimate point that some cannot afford the cost to get say a state ID. Those should be provided free, or for a reduced charge, to those in need.

Yeah they are making it harder to get an actual id.
There is no voter fraud crisis anywhere in the United States. PERIOD.
It is not a very efficient way of stuffing ballot boxes. The concept that it exists is how Republicans justify trying to cut out certain demographics from voting.
I have yet to produce an id when I vote. But then again we don't have Republicans in my statehouse trying to stop African-Americans and Latinos from voting. The fact that we have massive voting lines in GOP states like Florida should be proof enough that something is going on with even the allocation of polling locations. I wait about 20 minutes here and my house is less than a mile away from where I vote.
