I just looked at the Oregon website and see that.
I couldn't figure out the term of the card either in Oregon. I saw reference to a "lifetime" card, but I'm not sure if that is what they mean.
And yeah, it looks like $45 in Oregon for an ID card.
I'll have to assume that the majority of people have access to their birth certificate in modern times. If not, then they probably need to spend $20 to get one anyway. Just being a responsible person and all.
I do have to say...if any minorities ever do move to Oregon and don't own a car and have a drivers license, they are gonna have to shell out $45.
I don't know if that equals "racism" or "voter suppression". $45 won't even fill the tank of my car or take my family out for dinner at Olive Garden. But it would be a lot of money to put out IF I were incredibly poor, had no form of ID, and was just chomping at the bit to go vote on election day.
