I could see this ending up going to SCOTUS. If you are going to do this sort of thing then you have to provide IDs free of charge. Simple as that. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/judge-blocks-trump-administration-requiring-proof-citizenship-register/story?id=121134512

As someone who volunteers to work elections, I am curious why this is even an issue. I live in a blue state and in a town where most recent elections are 50/50 or lean blue. We do ask for id, but it can be anything from a license, a credit card, a library card (the reason being they proved their identity when they registered) The overwhelming majority of people show their id and thank us for asking for it. I actually think that the excuse that asking for id hurts minorities is so racist, as do many of the minorities that come through my precinct to vote.

Idk, Republicans want to disenfranchise and suppress as many people as possible by whatever means possible.

Again, please explain how this disenfranchises or suppresses anyone.

If you need proof of ID or citizenship to allow someone to vote then you have to have a program that supplies the needed documents for people for free. If you charge $75 for someone to get a document then you are disenfranchising the poor.

The cost is between $0 and $50 and lasts several years, with many waivers available. if you’re poor enough to receive benefits, you are given an id card. Most others have the $ to get a card.
