Charleston Daily Mail – Last week, the left-leaning West Virginia Center on Budget & Policy issued a report stating it could cost more than $5 million over five years to implement a law requiring photo identification to vote. Read
The report estimates 11 percent of eligible voters lack a photo ID, and it costs the state Division of Motor Vehicles $7.60 to produce one photo ID. If the state is required to provide those identifications free of charge, that translates to more than $1.2 million, according to the report.
