Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

We had a town hall last night in a county Republicans won big. It was standing room only. People were frustrated, angry, even scared—veterans, federal workers, parents, seniors. We must be bold and not afraid, especially when policies hurt our economy and threaten the health and safety of ALL.
