"It's very interesting that a party that courted Chinese voters for so long with 'low tax' promises, now wants to reintroduce something close to the 19th-century poll tax levied on the Chinese."

Elements of the policy are likened to a discriminatory poll tax that was imposed on Chinese immigrants from the 19th century.

This entire SAVE con is a Poll Tax. Poll Taxes were abolished by the 24th amendment.

However, in order to be able to vote if the SAVE act passes, you will need to spend hundreds of dollars and possibly months of time.

The Republicans are working to instate an illegal election policy change, in the same year as an election, as close to the election as possible. The change targets voters who don’t vote for Trump. Yes it will be overturned eventually by the Supremes, but not in time for 2026 elections

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.

#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.
