However low the barrier may be, there are some people to whom it is a financial hardship to purchase an official picture ID. This is putting a price on the right to vote. Some people may believe that those without money should not have the right to vote. The the question becomes where do we draw the line on the wealth or income scale as the cutoff of who is allowed to vote and who isn't. As far as I'm concerned the laws we have are sufficient. What we need is enforcement, not more laws. It is already illegal for a non citizen to vote. I personally think the intent of this law is to scare people off. Just like the republicans calling felons in states where it was legal for them to vote and telling them if they voted they would be thrown in jail, the intent is to disenfranchise.
