How the hell does asking someone to identify themselves constitute a poll tax?!
All these people have IDs already. How the heck else are they able to cash thier social security checks?
And if i'm not mistaken, part of the bill requires that those who can not afford an ID, or those that are unable to leave their homes would actually be visited by a state employee and take their picture in that person's home!
Requiring an ID for voting has NOTHING to do with disenfranchising minorities.

as an aside, I see your prejudices poking thru by assuming that poor people are black (and vice versa).
