John,
The Twenty-fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, prohibits both Congress and the states from conditioning the right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or any other type of tax . Poll taxes for State and local elections were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the case Harper vs. Virginia State Board of Elections . However, supporters of voting rights allege that voter identification requirements passed in recent legislation amount to a modern-day poll tax.
Texas, for example, requires photo ID to vote, yet each of those methods -- a Texas Driver's License, Texas Personal Identification Card, or Texas Handgun License -- cost money to acquire. In addition, their other acceptable forms of ID have a cost -- both a United States Passport and United States Citizenship Certificate must be purchased, and a United States Military Identification Card requires military service or work as a contractor.
We're looking to see how our supporters feel about this issue. Please take our quick survey:
John: Do you believe states like Texas are violating laws regarding poll taxes by requiring paid forms of ID to vote?

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
