Hey they say black people ain’t got ID and are too dumb to get it to vote, so that means this is rascist! Where’s Rev. Al and army of shysters?
The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago requires proof of Illinois residency, such as a photo ID, to receive free admission for select days. The policy mandates that Illinois residents show a valid driver’s license, state ID, or city-issued ID to get free tickets on Tuesdays or to receive discounted admission.
Key details regarding this policy include:Targeted Free Entry: Free entry applies specifically to Illinois residents, and the center is a privately funded project rather than a government building.
Critiques: The requirement has faced criticism from those arguing that it contrasts with Democratic positions on voter ID laws, noting that ID is required for entry but not for voting in Illinois.Other Requirements: Children 2 and under receive free entry, while general admission tickets cost $30 for adults and $23 for children. The surrounding 19-acre campus is free and open to all, say reports.
