    I would predict that a Romney/Ryan administration would be interested in making one exception to their plans to eliminate taxes. They would likely be interested in re-instituting the poll tax.

         @nancy a heitzeg I actually had to pay that when I first registered to vote in Alabama, after I took the literacy test.
         

        •  @Richard Lyon we have so far to go — amazing always how recent this all was and yes how some are so eager to Go Back

    •  @Richard Lyon Romney-Ryan would not only like to bring the poll tax back, but they are enabling poll taxes around the nation through various GOP voter suppression efforts that will disenfranchise 5 million people at the polls this year.

         @Seeta I have seen lots of news articles about voter ID laws, but I haven’t seen any about poll taxes. I can’t say I’m very surprised. I’d be very interested in reading more about it.

        •  @Richard Lyon The new voter ID laws in some states are a veritable poll tax, if not in name, as it requires folks to pay certain fees to obtain very specific forms of identification.  Fees that many people who are living below or near poverty level cannot afford.

           @Seeta They most certainly have the same intent and effect as the Jim Crow devices. Fees to get acceptable ID would certainly function like a tax.
