To get a state ID, (RealID(tm) you currently need a birth certificate, social security card, and or a passport and mail/bills with your address.
The cards aren't free. If you're poor, or your parents don't have their shit together you might not have all of that.
Getting a copy of your birth certificate is not generally free. In many states getting a copy of your birth certificate requires you to go back to the state you're born in and go to the health department there to get a copy.
They would usually like to see your state ID.
To get a replacement social security card, you have to go through the same kind of scenario. I think they are free though.
If you are from a rural area you need to drive. Everyone around you drives you have family that drives. The poor innercity? They don't need to drive, can make it through most of not all of life without a license, or by having family member step in to help.
It's a tax on the poor non-driving. They also like to close polling areas in the poor areas because they have a hard time getting to remote polling places. Then they like to crack down on people giving people standing in line water.
These particularly affected poor area disproportionately black.
