But you're not paying to vote, you're paying for the ID. Some people get it and never vote, like my Uncle who says; "The less them fuckers know about me the better!"Tantamount, as you know, means "equal to". How does paying for an identification "equal to" paying to vote?if they have to pay for an ID it is tantamount to having to pay to vote.
Convicted Felons pay for their drivers licenses yet they can't vote.
Underage H.S. kids pay for an I.D. yet can't vote.
A kid gets his D/L and pays for it at 16 yet can't vote. 2 years later he can use that same D/L to provide I.D. to vote. Is that "tantamount" to paying to vote?
Hint: You're confusing paying for administrative costs of identification with a "poll tax".
if you cannot vote without the ID, and you have to pay for the ID, then you have to pay to vote.
If they made you buy the ID at the poll in order to vote then you'd have a point.
They ask for my ID when I buy alcohol, does that mean they're making me pay to buy alcohol? Isn't paying for the alcohol enough? Now I have to pay for the privilege of buying alcohol?
