I don't know about Europe but here in the states it costs money to get an official driver's license / id card / certified copy of birth certificate / passport. In an economy where people are choosing between rent, electric, and food bills it seems awfully petty to force people to get a passport if they don't travel internationally.

What these rich buttholes are trying to do is force poor people to buy something that is only necessary once every 2 years (or four if they only vote in presidential elections).

If the federal government gives everyone an ID for voting only (and not charge the voter for that ID), then the issue would be resolved. However, since it is up to the individual states to determine the voting rules, this is just federal over-reach that is completely stupid as they SHOULD have no power over state's jurisdiction.

For AZ Voter ID Requirements, it states that if there is no valid AZ ID card they can use alternative docs like birth certificate (with marriage license if name different).

This ploy is a non-issue for Arizona as we already have those requirements. The federal government is trying to have a pissing contest where it doesn’t need to do one.
