I'm in favor of requiring ID for voting, but not that way. Requiring a form of ID that costs $85 to obtain and takes weeks to get is a poll tax, and poll taxes are illegal. The allowed forms of ID have to include things that everyone can easily get.

Citizenship is something that should be proven when people register to vote, not at the polls. ID at the polls should just be for the purpose of preventing people from easily pretending to be someone else.
