Thread Name: BS: Time to Pay Your Poll Tax
Subject: RE: BS: Time to Pay Your Poll Tax
In Indiana, if you don't have a driver's license you can not vote unless you have a birth certificate and cooberating proof of identity. You could also file for a certificate of indigency which takes many weeks and an address (which makes no sense at all.

This law was passed by a republican patriots and currently unchallenged by democrats in the Indianan legislature.

The elderly and the too poor to drive arte clearly the ones who are given these expensive hurdles to jump, if they want to vote.
It is an oblique poll tax of sorts but effective none the less.
