    Only if every eligible voter is given such an ID free of charge in an expedient manner. Otherwise, it’s effectively an illegal poll tax.

      You will be given an ID in an expedient manner, as soon as you come to the 1 DMV in your county that serves 100,000 people and wait 12 hours in line on a weekday.

          When I lived in Texas, I lived in Houston, a large and racially diverse city. I found the best way to get drivers license services timely was to drive out of the cities to a primarily white rural town. Suddenly there were no more giant lines.
