Hmm, a DMV issued photo ID (not a drivers license) is free in this state to anyone over 17. Must provide proof of identity, citizenship and residency in this state.

Looks like the same thing would cost you $24 every 8 years. Free to seniors. Again I don't see this as a huge burden.

I hardly see it as a "poll tax" these are all things that are very useful in everyday life.
