I will issue the challenge again for you to provide one example where any state is not issuing the ID for free if you need it to vote.

The states should be providing non-driver IDs for free to all citizens.
It's hard to imagine life without an ID, from getting a library card to getting a job you need a photo ID. You need an ID everytime you deal with the state. If someone says they live here and don't have an ID they probably should not be voting in the first place.

If you are registering to vote by mail:

You must provide either your driver's license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number on your Arkansas Voter Registration Application, or check the box in #7 on the application to indicate that you do not possess either a driver's license or Social Security number.

If you check the box indicating that you do not possess either a driver's license or Social Security number, you may be required to vote a Provisional Ballot when you vote for the first time unless you submit a photocopy of one of the following with your mail-in application or at the time of voting:

Current and valid photo identification,
or
A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck that shows your name and address,
or
Another government document that shows your name and address

Arkansas Secretary of State: Voter Registration Information

It's the same as Maryland's laws...

LOL..... Firstly they don't have voter ID so it's irrelevant.

Secondly in my state of PA they still charge for the ID UNLESS you have no other form of acceptable ID to vote including government, military, college/university, elderly care home and a few others. If you do not have any of the acceptable ID's to vote it will be issued for free.

I don't know how they are handling it in the other states but here in PA they are only issuing them for free if you have no other form of acceptable ID to vote. I would imagine they all have similar rules.

It's non strict and not required to vote, these are both acceptable at the polls:
Quote:
Voter ID: State Requirements

  • Current and valid photo ID
  • Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter
If you don't have either a phot ID or one of the other things listed:

Quote:
If a voter is unable to provide this identification, the election official shall indicate on the precinct voter registration list that the voter did not provide identification. Following each election, the county board of election commissioners may review the precinct voter registration lists and may provide the information of the voters not providing identification at the polls to the prosecuting attorney, who may investigate possible voter fraud.

If you don't have ID:
It is strict, and if you don't have acceptable ID you cast a provisional ballot that may or may not be counted, as it is at the discretion of the county officials.

Which is similar to all voter ID laws across the country.

And regardless, you demanded to know which states did not make a form of ID FREE if ID was demanded at the poll. Arkansas demands ID at the polls, and does not make any state ID FREE.
