Of course Sen Jon Husted doesn't understand how voting works.
You are already vetted when you register. One person, one vote. It's not rocket science. #PollTax #VoterSuppression

Making harder or even impossible for women to vote. Or anyone who has changed their name from birth name. I saw this coming and got copies of my marriages and divorces. But it cost me a couple hundred dollars that I dont have, but I KNOW my vote is more valuable. But let's call it what is.. #PollTax

It also costs $ many people don't have. $40 each for birth certificate,marriage license & divorce degree. Another $35 if you get a Passport ID "card," not a booklet. Add in the time & effort it takes to get this done.
I'm sure JD has people to do it for him but what about the rest of us?

In the US context, a #PollTax is a fee charged for voting. #ThisDayInHistory in 1966 was another win against #JimCrow, as SCOTUS abolished the last poll taxes by outlawing them for state & local elections. They had been widely used to disenfranchise impoverished & Black citizens.

This is not about stopping widespread voter fraud, which is a myth pushed by Republicans in the first place. Rather, it’s about giving the Department of Homeland Security power to choose who can vote. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/o...

Adjunct Table: Cost of Acquiring SAVE Act – Enumerated Documentary Proof Registration-proof list in H.R. 22 / SAVE Act §2(a), not the later 2026 photo-ID-to-cast-a-ballot list. Scope note. The statute does not enumerate only “IDs.” It mixes IDs with supporting records that must sometimes be paired with an ID. Costs below are acquisition costs only. They do not include travel, time off work, photocopying, mailing, notary fees, or expedite charges. # Act-listed document/category Best-verified acquisition cost Notes 1 REAL ID-compliant ID that indicates U.S. citizenship No single national price. Practical current examples are mostly enhanced state IDs/licences in the five EDL states: MI enhanced ID $30 / enhanced DL $45; MN enhanced surcharge +$15 on top of ordinary ID/DL fees; NY enhanced credential +$30 on top of regular transaction fees; WA first EDL $153 (6y) / $187 (8y), first EID $103 (6y) / $137 (8y). This is one of the slipperiest items in the Act. DHS says only Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington issue enhanced credentials that function as citizenship-confirming documents for land/sea re-entry. Few states issue IDs that would satisfy this part of the Act.1,2,7 11 2 Valid U.S. passport Adult first-time book: $165 total ($130 application + $35 acceptance). Adult first-time card: $65 total ($30 + $35). Book + card: $195 total. Child fees are lower. This is the cleanest nationally fixed price in the Act’s list.1,3
3 Official U.S. military ID card plus military record of service showing U.S. birthplace No retail purchase price identified in the official materials checked. This is not something an ordinary civilian can simply go out and buy. The Act also requires the service record, and it does not standardise the retrieval burden for that companion document.1 4 Government-issued photo ID showing U.S. birthplace No single national price. This category is highly variable and often theoretical, because most ordinary driver’s licences / state IDs do not print birthplace or citizenship. 1 5 Other government-issued photo ID paired with a supporting document No single national price for the base ID. Examples of ordinary state ID/DL pricing: MI standard ID $10 / DL $25; MN standard ID (under 65) $35.50 / Class D DL $46; NY standard non-driver ID $9.50–$14 / Class D DL age 21+ $64.25–$77.50 depending on MCTD; WA standard ID $61 (6y) / $81 (8y), standard DL $111 (6y) / $131 (8y); VT non-driver ID $29, operator’s licence $62 (4y) / $39 (2y). This is the category many people would actually end up using: an ordinary photo ID plus one of the records below.1,7 11 5A Certified birth certificate No national price. Official examples: FL $9, GA $25, CA $31, MI $34 for search/first certified copy. USA.gov says costs vary by state or territory. This is why “just use your birth certificate” is glib.1,12 16 5B Extract from U.S. hospital Record of Birth No national fee. Providers may charge only reasonable costs for copying and mailing, but there is no single nationwide price. Only the patient or personal representative generally has access. 1,4
5C Final adoption decree showing name and U.S. birthplace No single national fee verified. Certified-copy fees are set by the issuing court; there is no obvious national schedule. The Act names the category without supplying any uniform, free acquisition path. 1 5D Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) / certification of Report of Birth Replacement or additional copy: $50. The State Department page located gives the replacement/amendment fee. Initial CRBA issuance is a separate consular process for a child under 18 born abroad to a U.S.-citizen parent.1,5 5E Naturalization Certificate / Certificate of Citizenship / other federal proof under the INA Replacement document: Form N-565 = $505 online / $555 paper. If a person never had a Certificate of Citizenship and needs one issued: Form N-600 = $1,335 online / $1,385 paper. This is one of the most punishing cost items in the whole list.1,6 5F American Indian Card (DHS classification “KIC”) Current public filing fee not verified from an accessible official source. So, no number is asserted here. This row needs a targeted fee lookup if exact costing is required.1
What this table shows: The document list is deceptively simple. The passport row has a clear federal sticker price. Much of the rest does not. Several entries are status-restricted rather than generally obtainable, such as military ID. Several are state-priced rather than nationally priced, such as birth certificates and ordinary state IDs. Several are administratively variable, such as hospital records and court decrees. Some of the heaviest burdens fall on replacement federal citizenship documents, where the price can run into the hundreds or more than a thousand dollars. That is part of why the Act functions as a barrier: it presents “acceptable documents” as if they are ordinary household items, when several are costly, status-limited, or procedurally awkward to obtain.
💸🪪🚫 The SAVE Act’s “proof” regime comes with a price tag: passports, birth certificates, replacement citizenship papers, travel, copies, and delays. For many eligible voters, the barrier is not fraud. It is cost by design. #SAVEAct #VoteSuppression #PollTax ⤵

A #PollTax is any time you are required to pay a fee before you are eligible to vote. It doesn't matter if it is day-of or when you register. This was deemed unconstitutional.
Requiring everyone to purchase an ID in order to vote is a poll tax.

If the required papers are not free-of-cost, the requirements constitute a #PollTax, which is not legal. #24A

#MargaretThatcher created a #PollTax — an attempt to shift more #TaxBurden onto ordinary Britons — sparking a massive campaign of #CivilDisobedience and some outright rioting. Thatcher resigned over the fallout, and #JohnMajor announced its abolition on #ThisDayInHistory in 1991.

A passport is the only single document that unambiguously works. Cost: $165 new, $130 renewal. ~40% of Americans don’t have one. Paying $130+ to register to vote has a name: a poll tax.

If the required documentation is not provided free-of-cost, the requirement is a #PollTax, which is unlawful.
