There is no fee for a North Carolina ID card for an individual registered to vote in North Carolina who does not have acceptable photo identification, under North Carolina General Statute §163-166.13.

To obtain a no-fee voter ID card, you must sign a declaration stating that you do not have an acceptable photo ID. If you already have an acceptable photo ID, you are not eligible to receive a no-fee voter ID.

You must also be registered to vote. If you are not a registered voter, DMV will assist you in completing your voter registration application during your visit, and you will still be eligible for your no fee voter ID.

As with any non-operator ID card, you must provide proof of age and identity, a valid Social Security number and proof of citizenship and residency.

So let's say tomorrow they announce that for voting in 2020 that everyone will be required to show identification nationwide and that anyone who requests one who doesn't have a valid drivers license or passport can receive one from the federal government for free.

This gives everyone 4 years to get one and it gives the Democrats, who seem to be the most concerned, 4 years to get everyone an identification card just like they have registration drives and how they have people driving people to the polls that can't otherwise get there.

What is the argument against that?

BRick with a hypothetical. Who saw that coming?

None of that changes the fact that the DMVs are being closed in MANY areas. Or that polling stations are being closed.

This isn't just about IDs.
