Conservative stupidity will never allow the teabaggers to understand its a poll tax

24th Amendment:
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.


Thanks for playing

Liberal stupidity will never allow the liberals to understand that the Supreme Court has ruled voter ID laws constitutional (Crawford v. Marion County Election Board) and that ID's are made available at no charge as a part of every constitutional voter ID law.

Actually thrown out in Texas a week or so ago if I remember correctly.

While IDs are made available free in some states they have also taken steps to make their acquisition difficult. What I want to see is a program where the state goes to the target voter and provides help in obtaining missing documents and easy access to the bureaucracy.. Then I believe the state is simply trying to improve the integrity of the process. Otherwise I suspect the attempt is a disguised poll tax.

If a voter has to go to court to establish his birth status it is not free...and in fact it is not cheap.

IDs aren't free across America, where in God's name are you getting that ridiculous idea? The reason these laws get consistently struck down is that they violate the 24th Amendment. Unlike you, the courts don't just think of the Constitution as something that makes good bird cage lining

That's true, but not ALL voter ID laws are unconstitutional. They have been ruled constitutional by the US Supreme Court as long as they meet certain requirements.

In order for them to be constitutional, the ID's have to be available for free. This is what I said in the post you quoted.

They have been determined by the United States Supreme Court to be constitutional as long as they meet that condition (and other conditions). Crawford v. Marion County Election Board

Certain states with a history of civil rights abuses and minority disenfranchisement as identified in the Voting Rights Act are the most likely states to have their Voter ID laws overturned because the Federal government has to approve their changes in voting laws based on whether they are likely to have a discriminatory effect.
