"While photo IDs seem harmless, they are in fact the modern-day poll tax," Ellison said, referring to the practice, extensively used in the South during the Jim Crow era, of imposing poll taxes to discourage black people from voting.

In 1964, Congress ratified the 24th Amendment, which banned poll taxes.

(scratching head)What the %$%# does that have to do with anything?

Oh well, stupid is as stupid does.

Ellison is LYING explicitly.

States with ID requirements have provisional ballot contingency in the law. ADDITIONALLY STATES GIVE FREE PHOTO ID!

NO CHARGE!

One state will even come to your house.

Ellison is a complete and utter liar.
