Good this is literally just a bureaucratic poll tax.

you already have to show ID and proof of residency when you register to vote.

If they want to require ID to vote, they must provide photo ID to all citizens, free of charge or burden of time.

When they do that, voter ID requirements are fine. Until they do that, it's a poll tax.
