Redalgo, Nathan, and angus:
As has been pointed out before when this topic has been raised, to avoid running foul of the Voting Rights Act and the Poll Tax Amendment, voter ID bills include an option for a photo ID that costs $0. The issue for opponents has always been the cost in time and money some people need to make to get the documentation that shows that they are eligible for the photo ID. Once you have those documents, it is trivial to get the ID.
Now, if the proponents of photo ID were serious in their assertions that all they want to do is eliminate voting fraud and they have no intention of suppressing the vote of those segments of society that have the most difficulty in getting the necessary documentation, they'd include provisions in their proposed laws to help them get the documentation. As far as I know, they never have done that tho.
