For 62 yrs poll taxes requiring Americans to pay to vote have been banned. Trump wants an end run around the 24th Amend by forcing ppl to pay for passports or birth certificates when voters are easily verified by other means. The Senate must VOTE NO on the SAVE ACT which STOPS ALL VOTERS EVERYWHERE.
