Poll Tax Coming To A Red State Near You
 
yeah voting fraud is just running wild

if you think forcing people to buy special ids or making them get passports just so they can vote is not a Poll Tax then you full of crap

people out of work, roads and bridges in need of repair, all sorts of other issues and this is what the GOP is up to?

Robbin the GOP will use any means fair or foul to gain power. Of course that is a poll tax.

Is there any doubt what they're up to? What they've BEEN up to for decades?

I find it interesting that straight ticket voting affects the Dems more.

A state ID in Ohio costs $8.50.

So, a poll tax is okay as long as it's affordable?

It depends on your definition of poll tax.

If someone needs to take a bus to the polling station is that a poll tax?

Boy, Pete! Can't you try a little harder? That's an absurd arguent.

If someone needs to pay to establish his or her right to vote, it's a poll tax.

No but if it costs $8.50 to vote yes that's a bloody poll tax. I burn gas to get to our polling place but they do not charge me to vote. Hell half the time all they do is ask my name and where I live, if I am on the list I vote.

it is not about an id...it is about voter ids that PROVE citizenship............

like a passport.

In order to get welfare here in Ohio you need ID: a DL or State ID, and birth certificate, and SS card, for everyone in the home, not just the person applying. I see the whole thing as a nonissue but it sure gets the respective bases fired up :)
