its a method of voter suppression , and only every gop used it thats why. its a burdensome fee, and not many people, mainly AA people can get one right away. likely you will have to show 2 or more proofs of CITIZENSHIP, which can be difficult for most people and LICENSES dont count. valid passports, certificate of naturalization, birth certificate is actually quite difficult to get. for passports only some places have the option to apply one, USPS and then you have to book appointments too, which can be booked weeks to months in advance.
