[EL] Voter ID isn't a game-changer (paraphrasing)

Solely to the first point: even if the cards are free, the underlying
documents aren't. Neither is the trip to the DMV (which, in Texas, the
court found may be 100-125 miles away, one-way, without a driver's
license), or the wages lost in traveling to the DMV during working hours.
Saying that the ID card is free is like saying that dinner at any
restaurant is free. You just have to pay for the purchase, preparation,
and delivery of the food, and the time at the table. But the eating is free.
