In my state here are all the fees.

Now we have to pay for free ID's? A lot of things I do not want to pay for in this country but I have to.
I want the privilege to drive but I have to PAY for car insurance and pay for a license to drive.
I would like free healthcare, free housing, free food, free phone, free cable TV, free gas. I have to pay for that too. I have to pay $25 bucks for Sports Tax on my cable bill...I do not watch sports and they refuse to take it off!
Life is not fair, is it?
Want to vote? Go pay for an ID. We have massive voter fraud.
Everybody needs ID in this country. You must show it at the Doctor's office, to a police officer, fly, a lot of places check ID's. The bank checks my ID. Using my credit card shopping I am asked for my ID and say "thank you" for checking it!!!
We need to get off the "free" stuff mentality and grow up and accept your responsibilities in life. Whaa, whaa, whaa, whaa. And these ID's are good for 8-10 years. Wow, break the bank on that, what's it cost? $3 bucks a year to have an ID?
There is no fee for a voter ID in your state of Texas. The voter ID has to be renewed every six years unless you're 70 years old or older (those card have no expiration date).
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the requirement of a voter ID is legal, however, there can be no required fee to vote. That is why states that require a government issued voter ID must make a photo ID for the sole purpose of voting free of charge.

I support free ID for voting only. Extremely vetted!
I do not support DMV automatically registering people to vote. Too much fraud by the State and it's employees!
Geez, are you seriously asking this question? They probably did it so as not to inconvenience the elderly anymore than they felt necessary. Isn't the law being a hassle for the elderly one of the things you were complaining about earlier?
It's not an exemption from the law, it's an exception to the law. They still have to produce their photo ID when voting.
