Recently moved to Texas n was surprised to find an apparent poll tax. 1st had to buy license plates n register vehicle (sticker)at one location, crosstown at another facility only then to obtain new drivers license, only then could register to vote (state issued ID)cost $25.
I then inquired to the staffer , if I only wanted a state pic ID to vote, would there
be a charge. I was told , yes same $25.
I early voted ,only 2 miles north of my suburban residence, but my actual polling place is 6 miles west.
So voting , even w/ just ID is a minimum
imposition of all day ,n cost minimum 2 cab rides beside the $25 fee
