Every civilized country has had Voter ID since forever and none of the supporting documents are "free" either.
BarterTown denizens couldn't vote for leaders in the past. I see nothing wrong with that tradition.
Depends on how you define "free" I suppose.
My point is; there's no 'free ID' anywhere else, so nobody in the US 'activist community' has a leg to stand on.
The last time this came up, someone impersonating a Dutchman said his 'government id was free'.
The facts
A Dutch ID card - 64/32 Euros, or,
Dutch Drivers License - 39.45 Euros, or
Dutch Passport -
65.3073.23 EurosNow look at the rest of the world, plus what it takes to vote in non-Europe.
Elsewhere in Europe, Germany charges 28.80€, Sweden's is 400 SEK every 5 years, 55 € in Finland and 20.50 € in Belgium.
Some "real hotbeds of Voter!Suppression!!" there...
