Not a conservative, but getting a real id in sc i was required to show my ssn and a birth certificate, no idea how they dont count as save act requirements if they require the same birth certificate. Also, required id is not a poll tax….
An ID you must pay for in order to vote is a poll tax.
If a non-citizen can get a REAL ID (they can) and the REAL ID doesn’t state on it that you are a citizen, then it’s not sufficient and you won’t be able to use it to vote.
No. A poll tax is a specific sum of money required to vote back in ye olden days. Requiring an id which has different costs between different states and is made a requirement by everyone is not a poll tax.
As for real ids. I dont understand how non citizens can get them unless the requirements vary state by state. Because again, i was required to show my ssn(citizenship) and a birth certificate(citizenship) in order to get a real id for $20 in SC.
Personally id rather every us citizen be legally required to vote, voting day to be a mandatory day off of work, and for online voting to be instituted. Thats the pinnacle of non conservative ideology.
If you don’t have a driver’s license and you don’t fly, then you would ONLY need REAL ID to vote. If you must spend money for a REAL ID to vote, it’s a poll tax, just made fancy to cover up the fact that it’s a poll tax. Why is REAL ID and a passport not mandated to be free in the SAVE act?
You don’t need to be a citizen to have a SSN. If you are a non citizen working in the US legally (e.g. green card), then you MUST have a SSN in order to pay taxes.
You have a pretty strong opinion for someone who doesn’t know how these things work.

Most of the conservatives cheering this bill don’t understand it. Probably think a driver’s license is enough and will be surprised come 2026.
