    In California:

    It costs thirty dollars.

    Who wants to vote, but doesn’t have thirty dollars? That’s like three bananas.

    And there are lower prices if you have low income.

    And homeless people get them for free.

    And ages 62+ get them for free.

      You keep saying obstacles to voting like they are no big deal because they are no big deal to you. Voting is a fundamental right, and shouldn’t be limited to people that share your privilege. Not everyone drives, not everyone has $30, not everyone wants to suffer the indignity of jumping through hoops to prove they are too poor to pay for an ID card, not everyone can take the time to go spend the day at the DMV getting an ID card, and NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

        Voting is a privilege that most people don’t use. Yes Republicans are looking for ways to suppress votes, and I don’t think you should need an ID to vote, but the idea that getting an ID is hard, is preposterous. You need an ID for like fucking everything.
