Re: The NYC ballot

1. The states that have implemented voter ID have made non-driver IDs available free of charge.

Also, if you'll note the text of the 24th amendment, it only applies to elections for federal offices. Polls taxes for all other elections were held to be unconstitutional by Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections, 383 U.S. 663, 86 S. Ct. 1079 (1966).

2. The vast majority of people already carry some sort of ID card. Since elections are not a daily event, one would still not need to carry any ID most of the time. I don't understand how you would say that the "voter ID" would not be used for any other purpose. No state requiring ID to vote actually issues a dedicated "voter ID." State IDs are already used for many purposes.

Being an adult and not having a proper ID is already so rare that any stories about not having IDs are extremely anecdotal.
