[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a rural area 100 miles from DC and personally know several older people who were born at home and do not have birth certificates. These people’s ancestors have been in the area for centuries. [/quote]

I have an elderly relative that can't get a Real ID because her birth name is different than the name she's used her whole life, in the community she grew up in. Her passport is expired now, but even it had the name she used.

People assume, or disingenuously insist, that getting documentation is easy, when it's just not.

At this point, I'm being assuming they actually care about voting integrity. They want to disenfranchise people.[/quote]

Well, she must have had documentation at some point if she had a passport with that name.

My parents were both born at home.  They were able to get documentation and I'm sure your people were able, as well.

Did they ever work?  [b]Social Security[/b] required documentation.  [b]Medicaid[/b]?  Same.
[b]Drive[/b]?  They needed documentation.  
Male?  they have [b]selective service [/b]requirements.
[b]Register to school[/b]?  they had to have documentation.

You really are reaching here.[/quote]

none of these things are codified in the US Constitution as a right. Further, all of the documentation here require fees. Voting should not cost anything to be able to achieve. [b]Otherwise, its a poll tax, per the Supreme Court[/b].[/quote]

No.  It is not a poll tax. Providing documentation is not a poll tax.  If you don't have the documentation, paying to get it is your problem. If you lost it, that is on you.

But, if you need it, I'm sure there will be organizations to assist you in getting your documentation.

If filing a certificate of residence is a poll tax, then the SAVE Act is clearly a poll tax.[/quote]
