Too poor to vote: how Alabama’s ‘new poll tax’ bars thousands of people from voting

Read the article. It is not a "poll tax". The author is intentionally trying to mislead you.

The people being portrayed as 'victims' in this article are in fact convicted felons. They are not allowed to regain their voting rights until after they make restitution to their victims and pay their court fines. The woman in the photo above is even grousing that she can't vote until she gets off probation. Really?

This has nothing to do with race or wealth. It has everything to do with holding convicted felons accountable for the crimes they committed, and holding them responsible for the damages they inflicted on other people.

It's "no vote for the poor felons" to be accurate. It doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Misleading title.
A convicted felon looses the right to vote and is whining about it. BOO FREAKING HOO. Learn to live by the rules/laws in society.
