My mothers neighbour used to keep polecats
We remember fondly that she could never really get her head round the name and referred to them as polltaxes
Luckily my children were just old enough, so always smile when the poll tax is mentioned

The hoods are off & the Confederacy is back in power. This is the 2026 version of #polltaxes & #literacytests. Voter apathy is the problem NOT fraud. I can only hope the obvious voter suppression tactics will motivate non voters to vote. 🤡 knows if the elections are free & fair a #BlueWaveComing.

#PollTaxes were found unconstitutional 60 years ago. They're still unconstitutional.
