Why? Here in Florida Voter ID is the Law, none of it is free, and this has been upheld right to the State Supreme Court.
I'm quite many others are the same.
Is there some quirk of the Law there that compels them to offer Free ID?
It's been challenged as being a "poll tax" if there is a fee associated with getting the ID. In Stewart v Marion County Indiana, the federal court ruled that it was OK, since there was a provision for a person declaring he was too poor to afford an ID. The person would then cast a provisional ballot, and be required to appear before a judge to swear as to his circumstances.
This makes the Voter ID law effective, because what REAL person is going to go into a courtroom and swear under oath that he has no ID because he cannot afford one, in a country where you need photo ID to do anything from cashing a check to getting cigarettes and liquor?
