Fun Fact - in the states that have instituted voter ID, you generally don't have to pay for those
either 
Sadly, this is apparently not true, as that is, in fact, pretty much what we already have.
.....No. Having to walk down the hallway to pick up an ID from the office next to the office where you registered is not Jim Crow, nor a poll tax.
And, furthermore, if you aren't even
willing to pick up your ID, then, frankly, I'm just as glad that you aren't voting, as I doubt you are putting any more effort into paying attention to U.S. budget or foreign policy.
You're misrepresenting the known burdens for long time voters when new ID laws come online. Just for starters, choosing Texas as an example, about 600,000 registered voters needed a new ID next time they voted. Of course in Texas about 1/3 of counties had NO office that issued these supposedly free IDs that all people needed to do was walk down the hall to get. Not one place in the county issued an ID. 1/3 of counties. And of course Texas deliberately shorted the public information campaigns to notify the electorate of this change in decades-long practices, because they didn't want those folks to get ID and vote. We don't have to pretend differently. If that wasn't the intent, any state not run by absolute morons would do as you suggest and make it very, very easy to get ID in multiple locations in every county.
In Alabama, just after new voter ID laws were put into effect, the state closed a bunch of DMV offices, coincidentally in a bunch of poor counties that were disproportionately black. The feds investigated, said, yeah, there's a problem here, and AL backtracked. But that's the mindset we're dealing with here. Put in new laws requiring 200k or so poor people to get new ID, then make it HARD to get them by closing the offices where you can get them. Your BS about walking down the hall is either dishonest or ignorant.
Another problem is that most people have some form of "ID" but the red states who were trying to drive down voting by Democrats came up with very short lists that excluded many forms of ID held by the poor, non-drivers, such as SS cards, college IDs, benefit cards, even work IDs.
And frankly, you're debating about voter ID and didn't put the minimal effort into it to, say, read a case challenging the laws that in several cases were struck down. So you're ignorantly spouting off on voter ID while applauding people disenfranchised by voter ID laws because they are ignorant. Lack of self awareness is a strong suit of right wingers.
Finally, the basic problem the strict "voter ID" laws is no one can prove they serve any purpose but keeping Democrats who don't drive from voting. There's NO evidence impersonation fraud at the polls rises above the trivial, there's no evidence a long list of acceptable IDs doesn't adequately address that trivial risk, so there's no evidence that the laws solve any problem except for too many poor people voting, which is a big problem for Republicans, especially the urban poor. So to defend them we get BS like that above, that ignores all the real issues those laws present when enacted.
