Read the Constitution. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago Fun fact - Courts have pretty consistently ruled that, as it stands now, requiring an ID to vote is an illegal poll tax since you have to pay money to get an ID. They've also consistently ruled that if IDs were given out to citizens for free then requiring one to vote wouldn't be a poll tax. Republicans have opposed every effort to make ID free despite also pushing hard for requiring an ID to vote. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago They won't. Try and convince them that the current act of "deporting" people is not constitutional or the actual definition of deporting. They don't care. Identity politics cannot let them change their mind y because they would have to change their identity. permalink fedilink source parent
