Use the ID for other things and tada it's no longer a polling tax See how easy that was?
Yes, I see how easy it is.
It's easy because it doesn't work. No polling tax means no polling tax.

Opposition to voter ID laws would go away if Republicans were willing to supply free IDs.

It's not really my problem either, is it?
Just stating facts. We could get national voter ID passed next week if we were willing to pay for it. I am. It sounds like you are. Lots of politicians arn't, though.

Indiana imposed a voter ID requirement a few years back. It was taken to the Supreme Court. Indiana could show absolutely no examples of voter fraud in its history and there was plenty of evidence given that indicated this would cut down on the number of perfectly legitimate voters. The right wing Supreme Court said...so what.
The Attorneys-General scandal back in the Bush days was, to a large extent, over Republican efforts to suppress voting. Attorneys-General were fired because they refused to make up voter fraud cases.
If voter fraud that could be fixed by picture IDs was actually a problem, and, if, as mentioned above, everyone was provided with free voter ID, I wouldn't have a problem with this.
However, neither is true.
<edit> This is the procedure for getting a ballot in NH. I'm not sure if the primaries require the same procedure...
Quote:
1.A voter shall announce their name to the Ballot Clerk.
2.The Ballot Clerk shall repeat the name loud enough for the voter and any challengers to hear.
3.The Ballot Clerk shall search for the voter’s name on the checklist.
4.If the Ballot Clerk finds the voter’s name on the checklist, the ballot clerk shall put a checkmark next to the voter’s name, and again, repeat the voter’s name.
5.The Ballot Clerk shall state the voter’s address.
6.If the voter’s address has changed and is still within the town or ward, the Ballot Clerks shall change the address in red on the paper checklist.
7.The voter should confirm the name and address with the Ballot Clerk.

So charge $2 more for DL, $2 more for registration and make Photo ID cards free.
I you can't be bothered to get an ID, don't vote, take some responsibility for yourself.
It is your right to vote, no one will make you participate however.
In any case what will you do when you go to vote and discover someone else had beaten you to it?
