The way voter ID laws like this prevent citizens from voting is generally considered a feature — by restricting ID forms common among the young, such as student IDs, they change the makeup of the electorate to favor Republicans.

    If an ID is required for voting and voting is a right then the government should provide the ID for free. That would be the hold up for implementation. It makes sense to me, but I’m sure there might be other reasons I’m not thinking.

      I agree with this. The article says that Ohio provides the ID free of charge.
