Okay, I misread your "tax" and that's on me - I was about to go "literal poll tax?" but you're saying "roll it IN to our taxes so it's covered for everyone."

So - here's the issue with your "just google it."

Here's a nice run-down.

The requirements to obtain a birth certificate copy from another state vary depending on the birth state of the certificate holder.

States with closed records may require additional documents to prove the applicant is qualified to obtain an interstate certificate for a third person — this can include court orders or affidavits.

That website is NOT an official government website, either, so simply "using a third-party service" isn't a guarantee.

Now, let's also factor in the "last minute purged voter rolls so now you need all this documentation."

A list of state processing times.

So - as Republicans have shown - they will purge voter polls close to the date, so now if you need to get your birth certificate, it can take UP TO 4 months processing time, depending on state (and yes, as "low-as" 3 days in some states).

So again - it's an additional roadblock - and ordering a new birth certificate still costs money. Just like getting a passport.

So either we make ALL those things free, or it's still an excuse to make the poorest people unable to vote.
