Even if the ID is nominally free, if I have to take a day off and pay for bus/train tickets to wait in line at some office, it’s not really free.

Some districts have limited DMV hours in advance of voting days.

Coincidental how these might be Democratic leaning areas in Republican states.

Neither is voting free, what's the argument here?

Seems to me that a small portion of the funds being used to fight voter ID could help such citizens get IDs.

Given how often ID is required outside of voting, it seems to me like this would be a big win for people, if getting an ID is so hard for some.

That's life. Figure it out. It's really an insult to a group of people to imply that they aren't capable of being a functioning adult in society.
