These are all excuses I've seen used to explain why IDs are hard to get even if they were free,

• It's hard for them to get to the place that gives out ID because they don't have a car
• Many don't have the necessary documents like birth certificate, passport, or social security card to get an ID
• They work all the time so they can't make it to the ID place during business hours
• They take care of family and can't leave them to get an ID
• It's unconstitutional because it is an extra requirement equivalent to a poll tax

The caricature excuses they give makes those without an ID look like the most useless individuals in the world. India did it with a billion people. I have to keep reminding myself that it has nothing to do with one's ability to obtain an ID and everything to do with an organized system of cheating that relies on the inability to require ID.
