If I remember right, Georgia offers a free ID card to those who can't
afford to buy one.
The case referrenced is about requiring ID at all, not how much the ID
costs, which is what I see this thread to be about.

Personally, I'm for requiring ID. Otherwise, how do you know who is
actually able/allowed to vote? An ID isn't anywhere as hard to get as
some make it out to be.
