SOME Democrat PLEASE put forth a LEGIT Voter ID bill.

[Ms. Toad]

4. A poll tax would be bad enough -

If all citizens could get an ID proving citizenship by paying money, Democrats could sponsor a bill that would pay all necessary costs (including at least minimum wage for time expended) to get the ID.

Unfortunately, there are people who simply don't have access to the documents necessary to prove citizenship = no matter how much time and money they spend. My father was born at home, for example. His birth was registered - either at the time, or was established later. He had relatively educated parents, he was educated, and he was white. I'm not sure whether his birth was attended by a midwife or not - but in the same era and for a few decades after - in the South, especially, midwives to black children were discouraged from registering their births. If the birth was not registered at the time, the documents needed to create a secondary record of birth (baptismal certificates, marriage registries, for example) may have been destroyed when poor black churches were burned in racially motivated attacks.
