18. Passport cards cost $65.

$30 application fee plus a $35 acceptance fee. That's going to price a lot of people right out of being able to vote, including those with the lowest incomes and the inability to scrape up an extra $65 after paying their rent, buying food, etc. (Which I'm sure the GOP would consider a feature, not a bug.)

My husband and I could manage it, but I would not feel good about it, knowing how many people were now disenfranchised through no fault of their own.
