Republicans in Ohio have come up with a new poll tax to keep the poor/young/liberal leaning folks from voting. Tucked into a Voter ID bill (HB 189) is a provision that residents would have to obtain an ID card to vote. Cost of this card? $8.50. Although, if you're lucky enough to make less than 100% of the federal poverty level ($11,770 per year), you can be exempt from it.
I guess these Constitutional-screeching Republicans have never actually read the Constitution. Hell, even SCOTUS has ruled on this in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, stating “a State violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment whenever it makes the affluence of the voter or payment of any fee an electoral standard”.
Republicans, continuing to attempting voter disenfranchisement, one bill at a time.
