How many people don’t have a government issued ID anyway? This is roughly asking how many people don’t drive (legally)? I agree, if you define “poll tax” as a sort of cost to vote, then yes, this legislation increases the cost of voting, but seriously, as Admiral said, the cost is so low.
And let me throw out that typical non-sequiter that seems appropriate: If you can’t spend the very low cost of getting an ID, and acknowledging the importance of increasing voting data precision, should you really be voting?
