The Constitution specifically bans poll taxes of any kind. Unless we are giving out free ID's to everyone, and even coming to people who are disabled to provide them free ID's on site, it would constitute a poll tax and therefore be unconstitutional.
READ MY LIPS POWERSTROKER -- proving you're a citizen and having ID is not a TAX! It's a responsibility!

Sad times when PowerStroker is sticking up for Mitch! I think we need to know who on the Senate is going to break ranks on this issue so we can vote them out in the next mid-terms!
The Save Act is common sense policy! People like Bernie Sanders and Gavin Newscum saying they can't find their birth certificates? I'm calling BULLSH!T!
I recently had to produce my birth certificate AND Social Security card to obtain a "real ID" -- as if the one I had for the last 34 years wasn't "real" enough to pass TSA muster for in country air travel!
I HAVE ZERO COMPASSION AT THIS POINT FOR PEOPLE NOT WILLING TO OBTAIN THEIR DOCUMENTS! I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get my documents in order to obtain my Real ID!
If people can't be an adult and obtain their vital records -- they have no business voting! Furthermore, if they don't have documents to prove citizenship -- they shouldn't be voting! Period!
