A private commission trying to restore public confidence in national elections recommended on Monday requiring a free photo ID for voters, drawing opposition from Democrats and some voting rights activists.

"We believe such a requirement would constitute nothing less than a 21st century poll tax," said a letter from Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and John Lewis, D-Ga. Poll taxes were once used in some states to prevent black citizens from voting.

Do blacks consider photo ID's for drivers license a poll tax as well? Only reason why they don't want a phot ID is because they literally have to dig up their voting constituants, and open their coffins to get a picture!

We don't have National elections. Congress needs to keep it's nose out of State business.
