It would go to the courts to determine whether the requirement to purchase an ID would be considered a tax, though the decision of Crawford v. Marion County Electoral Board did specify in the majority opinion that the reason there was not a substantial burden on the right to vote was because the IDs were free. So it may be that the precedent is there.

As I understand the 24th was passed because the "tax" was a flat rate; I could see how this would bias the poor. If we provide free IDs to folks to vote; then someone else is just paying the "tax".
