Georgia Poll Tax
by Decius at 11:49 am EDT, Oct 14, 2005 |
A federal judge promised a quick decision Wednesday on a motion to temporarily stop election officials from requiring photo identification at the polls.
This is interesting. Georgia now requires a photo ID to vote in person. As the ID costs $20, some people are calling it a poll tax. Supporters argue that if you don't want to pay the tax you can vote absentee. Detractors argue that voter fraud only occurs absentee and they don't know of any cases of in person voter fraud, so there is no point. |

I think you should have an ID when you vote. This is really basic. If you don't have an ID, wtf if wrong with you? Go get an ID. |
