my response to a weekly standard article
I live in indiana and have been refused the vote 6 times since passage of the ID poll tax. In Indiana to vote they want you to show a driver's license, if you have one, which costs $20. I believe that's a poll tax, unconstitutional under the Harman v Forssenius (1966) standard. Even for a "free" ID, only available to those without a licence, you need a birth certificate which usually costs $12. To me that's a poll tax. There is no argument or evidence in your post that showing ID is not a poll tax; you discuss other stuff instead.
