6. "I dont understand the problem."

It's because of this pesky thing in the Constitution -

24th Amendment

Amendment XXIV

Section 1.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2.

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

If there is a "cost" involved to vote (e.g., having to PAY for an ID card or docs to get one like a birth certificate) then it is a "poll tax".
