DoomsdaysCW<p>What Is A <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PollTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PollTax</span></a>? Definition and Examples</p><p>By Robert Longley, July 27, 2022</p><p>Excerpt: "In the United States, the origin of the poll tax—and the controversy surrounding it—is associated with the agrarian unrest of the 1880s and 1890s, which culminated in the rise of the Populist Party in the Western and the Southern states. The Populists, representing low-income farmers, gave Democrats in these areas the only serious competition that they had experienced since the end of Reconstruction. The competition led both parties to see the need to attract Black citizens back into politics and to compete for their vote. As the Democrats defeated the Populists, they amended their state constitutions or drafted new ones to include various discriminatory disfranchising devices. When the payment of the poll tax was made a prerequisite to voting, impoverished <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackPeople</span></a> and often <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoorWhitePeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoorWhitePeople</span></a>, unable to afford the tax, were denied the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToVote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToVote</span></a>. </p><p>"During the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era in the United States, the former states of the Confederacy repurposed the poll tax explicitly to prevent formerly enslaved <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackAmericans</span></a> from voting. Although the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/15thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>15thAmendment</span></a> [s] gave Black men full <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/citizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citizenship</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VotingRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VotingRights</span></a>, the power to determine what constituted a qualified voter was left to the states. Beginning with Mississippi in 1890, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthernStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthernStates</span></a> quickly exploited this legal loophole. At its 1890 constitutional convention, Mississippi imposed a $2.00 poll tax and early registration as a requirement for voting. This had catastrophic results for the Black electorate. Whereas approximately 87,000 Black citizens registered to vote in 1869, representing almost 97% of the eligible voting-age population, fewer than 9,000 of them registered to vote after the state’s new constitution took effect in 1892. </p><p>"Between 1890 and 1902, all eleven former <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Confederate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Confederate</span></a> states imposed some form of a poll tax to deter Black Americans from voting. The tax, which ranged from $1 to $2, was prohibitively expensive for most Black sharecroppers, who earned their wages in crops, not currency. Beyond the cost, voter registration and tax payment offices were usually located in public spaces designed to intimidate potential voters, like courthouses and police stations.</p><p>"The southern states also enacted <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimCrowLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JimCrowLaws</span></a> intended to reinforce <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RacialSegregation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RacialSegregation</span></a> and restrict Black voting rights. Along with the poll tax, most of these states also imposed literacy tests, which required potential voters to read and interpret in writing sections of the state constitution. So-called 'grandfather clauses' allowed a person to vote without paying the poll tax or passing the literacy test if their father or grandfather had voted before the abolition of slavery in 1865; a stipulation that automatically precluded all formerly enslaved persons. Together, the grandfather clause and the literacy tests effectively restored voting rights to poorer White voters who could not pay the poll tax, while further suppressing the Black vote.</p><p>"Poll taxes of varying stipulations lingered in Southern states well into the 20th century. While some states abolished the tax in the years after World War I, others retained it. Ratified in 1964, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/24thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>24thAmendment</span></a> to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a> declared the tax unconstitutional in federal elections. </p><p>"Specifically, the 24th Amendment states:</p><p> 'The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.'</p><p>"President Lyndon B. Johnson called the amendment a 'triumph of liberty over restriction.' 'It is a verification of people's rights, which are rooted so deeply in the mainstream of this nation's history,' he said.</p><p>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VotingRightsAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VotingRightsAct</span></a> of 1965 created significant changes in the voting status of Black Americans throughout the South. The law prohibited the states from using literacy tests and other methods of excluding Black Americans from voting. Before this, only an estimated twenty-three percent of voting-age Black citizens were registered nationally, but by 1969 the number had jumped to sixty-one percent. </p><p>"In 1966 the U.S. Supreme Court went beyond the Twenty-fourth Amendment by ruling in the case of Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections that under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, states could not levy a poll tax as a prerequisite for voting in state and local elections. In two months in the spring of 1966, federal courts declared poll tax laws unconstitutional in the last four states that still had them, starting with Texas on February 9. Similar decisions soon followed in Alabama and Virginia. Mississippi's $2.00 poll tax (about $18 today) was the last to fall, declared unconstitutional on April 8, 1966."</p><p><a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/poll-tax-definition-and-examples-5443130" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thoughtco.com/poll-tax-definit</span><span class="invisible">ion-and-examples-5443130</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterDisenfranchisement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterDisenfranchisement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TwentyFourthAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TwentyFourthAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FourteenthAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FourteenthAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FifteenthAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FifteenthAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LiteracyTests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiteracyTests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USElections</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterSuppression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackAmericans</span></a></p>

Past efforts by states to purge noncitizens from voter rolls have sometimes swept up eligible U.S. citizens.</p><p>"The executive order also seeks to stop states from counting mail or absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after by withholding funding from states that allow such ballots to be counted.</p><p>"Proof of citizenship requirement</p><p>"Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump and his allies made baseless claims about the threat of noncitizens voting in large numbers.</p><p>"The current federal voter registration form asks registrants to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote, and to provide a driver's license number, state ID number or Social Security number. Those who attempt to vote illegally can face prison time, fines or deportation. Past audits and studies have shown such cases are incredibly rare.</p><p>"Yet Republicans have made requiring documentary proof of citizenship a policy priority. The executive order borrows heavily from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SAVEAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAVEAct</span></a>, a Republican-backed bill. House Republicans have signaled that they intend to pass it in their chamber but it faces difficult odds in the Senate.</p><p>"The executive order shows <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> isn't waiting for Congress. But legal experts say that he does not have the authority through <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExecutiveOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExecutiveOrder</span></a> to make such changes, and the order conflicts with existing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalVotingLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FederalVotingLaw</span></a>.</p><p>"'It's illegal at many different levels,' said Sean Morales-Doyle, the voting rights director at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrennanCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrennanCenter</span></a> for Justice, a nonprofit that studies and advocates for voting rights. The order directs the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElectionAssistanceCommission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectionAssistanceCommission</span></a>, a small, independent bipartisan agency, to make various changes, including to the federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterRegistration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoterRegistration</span></a> form, but Morales-Doyle said the president can't tell that commission what to do.</p><p>"Requiring documentary proof of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/citizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citizenship</span></a> would radically upend voter registration if such a mandate were to take effect.</p><p>"The order is explicit that applies to anyone who uses the federal voter registration form.

Solarpunk Presents Podcast<p>7.3: They Sent Us to Camp: My Family's Experience of Internment During WWII</p><p>If you meet a Japanese American, it’s also a pretty good bet, they probably won’t spontaneously start talking about what they or their family went through, how they feel about it, and how they or their family recovered from the ordeal. </p><p>I (Christina) wanted to rectify that by sitting down with my old friend Chie Furuya, whose parents (as tiny children), grandparents, and other family members were “sent to camp”, to ask her about it. The answers and stories she had for me were both fascinating and unexpectedly heartening. Her people are a resilient, cheerful people and I feel like there are life lessons for all of us here, in terms of withstanding and recovering from severe injustice (and coming out on top).</p><p>Ariel’s addition to this episode description is to point out that Japanese internment occurred in Canada in the early 20th century as well. We (by which she means Canada, or perhaps so-called Canada, as she likes to call it) aren't some bastion of anti-racism and tolerant plurality (if we ever were).
