ORIGINAL: mnottertail The 24th amendment precludes it at the state level as a requirement as well. Persimmons and Pomegranates... not even as close as apples and oranges. 24th ammendment: 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. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxxiv Not a single word about requiring proof that the person showing up at the polls is actually the person registered to vote or how to do that. Thats right and you can require any sort of free 'proof' you like, the operative word here being 'free' I would imagine even nutsuckers have some small understanding of that word. Unless taxation is 'free', then you are even stupider than anyone has ever believed, and they believe you are pretty fucking stupid, believe us all. So, How about a publishers clearing house mailer? The walmart flyer from the mailbox? Yanno, without cost or payment to anyone who votes. Charge it to the people who dont vote. That would be fine. But once they vote, you have to refund that money, and you may not increase the government debt in the process, because somebody somewhere has to pay that at some time. Fruits and vegetables is not your forte. Wholly inept. When you say, "they believe you are pretty fucking stupid, believe us all". Who are they and us? You really only get one vote despite the multiple voices in your head. its impossible to argue with someone who employs such tortured "logic." you might just as well say, oh, since I have to transport myself to the polling station and that's associated with a cost, and I cant vote without getting there, its a poll tax! material and equipment has to be used to create and accept ballots, and I cant vote without all that, its a poll tax! the essence of a poll tax from which the 24th amendment sprang was in creating a economic burden/barrier for individuals vis-à-vis voting. issuing "free" voter ID cards whose cost is born by society at large, is not that. no effective barrier to voting or economic burden is created on any one individual person that inhibits them from voting. further, given the left's repetitious history of cheating in elections, assuring the integrity of voting is worth the cost that's placed on society at large. the argument that voter ID is an attempt to oppress the minority vote, especially in light of voter and election fraud, and in known cases where voter ID helps to increase turnout, and with minorities in favor of it, is liberal hokum. (I predict this post will generate two "nutsuckers", at least one "felch" and any number of vile and extraneous insults)
