You should READ your OWN link before making yourself look foolish.
From YOUR site":
"North Carolina "No-Fee ID Card Program
After January 1, 2014, you will be able to apply for a free NC identification card to be used for voting. To qualify, you will need to:
Prove your age and identity.
Prove your NC residency.
Be registered to vote in North Carolina.
Not have a valid driver license.
This form of NC ID card will be valid for voting and for identification purposes only. You will apply using the same documents (proof of name, birth date, Social Security, and residency) as listed above."
"MD Identification Card Fees
The fees for new, renewed or duplicate Maryland ID cards vary.
Older than 65 years old: ID Card is free.
Disabled: ID Card is free.
I didn't bother to look up any others but, I would NOT be surprised to find more if did.
How does that CROW taste?
You're "crowing" because you found 1? A special Voter's ID...not an official MD ID...which still costs.
Still waiting for that "most of the states" proof.
However none of that verifies the fact that you live in the prescient in which you intend to vote nor does it having any bearing on the expiration dates of your ID.
Birth certificates don't expire. That's the primary document the SSA requires, and they state they "may" accept other proof.
Sorry, maybe you didn't read the original post. Certain groups have a harder time getting a copy of their birth certificate.
"...The midwife at the 1949 home birth in rural South Carolina delivered a healthy baby girl but didn't file a birth certificate. Donna Jean Suggs grew up, got a Social Security card and found work as a home health aide. Try as she might, though, she couldn't get a birth certificate. That meant she couldn't get a driver's license or register to vote...."
How do you get to be "elderly" in America without having an ID?
You need an ID to do just about anything. How do you live your entire life without one?
Cases such as stated above have to be extremely rare. Also, consider that when states Institute voter ID laws, there are often provisions added to provide ID's at no cost. And it's not like they have to do it every year......most states ID's are good for 4 or 5 years at least.
And BTW, AARP is a Lefty organization with an agenda.
Now go to the hospital you were born and bring back a certified original.
How many elderly and teenagers are walking around with certified originals?
I am 54 years old the originals are still at my parents home thousands of miles away.
The hospital I was born Is thousands of miles away too.
Imagine now problems when hospital is closed or consolidated.
I myself didn't drive till 19 years old. If my university ID was not accepted I couldn't have voted my first time. I had no utility bills, no cell phone.
According to a study
69 percent of 19-year-olds had licenses in 2014, compared to 87.3 percent in 1983, a 21-percent decrease.
That's right a full 31% of 19 YO Americans can't vote If Republicans have their way.
It is 100% clear Republicans vote these ID laws into place for one reason and one reason only.
You don't have to go to the hospital you were born at to get a a "certified original" copy of your BC. You don't need a "certified original" copy to an ID either.
When I applied for a passport, they wouldn't even take the original copy. You do the whole thing online to get an official copy, right from the comfort of your Lazyboy.
And you only need to do this once in your entire life. The rest of the time when you renew your ID or DL, you just need the old one.

Voter fraud at the polls is almost nonexistent in the US; making it harder for the young, old, poor (presumed Democrats) is not part of the electoral process no matter what Fox news tells America.
Birth certificates still cost money, I've never heard of a free one.
Try signing up for SS or Medicare without one.
