I paid $60.00 the last time I renewed my license.The solution to the voter ID problem is to require an ID card that's issued for free, like a Social Security Card.
Of course it would be a whole lot more effective if the ID card itself were more secure than a flimsy piece of paper with a name and number.
Eh, ya get what ya pay for.
Do you mean like this?
Georgia law provides for the issuance of a free identification card to citizens eighteen (18) and over who are registered voters. In order to be eligible for a free identification card, the voter must have no acceptable proof of identity to use when voting. These free identification cards are issued at all Customer Service Centers and are valid for ten (10) years.
Georgia Identification Card for Voting Purposes
I am reasonably sure most other states that have picture ID requirements have this same provision. If the Wisconsin law does not have this requirement, they should amend it, but I will bet it already has it.
Not in FL - it's $48 to get a license and $25 for an ID card.

*****************************************
Justice Stephen Breyer also filed a dissenting opinion arguing that Indiana's law was unconstitutional. While he spoke approvingly of some voter ID laws, he found that Indiana's procedures for acquiring an ID were too burdensome and costly for some low income or elderly voters.
The legislation's partisan motivations and implications fueled much of the controversy. While the majority conceded that Republican Party's partisan interest in reducing low-income voter turnout likely motivated the law's passage, it found that the law's valid neutral justifications "should not be disregarded simply because partisan interests may have provided one motivation for the votes of individual legislators."
