What was the purpose of a poll tax?

The purpose of a pole tax is to make it difficult for all people to vote.

The poll tax had two purposes:

1). Raise a little bit of revenue for the city, county, or state.

2). Decrease the number of the non-rich riff-raff or the genuinely poor who would turn out to vote.

Today, poll taxes are illegal. So the party of the Rich has to turn to other methods, like ...

-- close the polls at 5:00 , so that working people who can't get time off to vote, won't.

-- require a government-issued photo-ID in order to vote.

-- make up specious reasons that favor the wealthy, to delete names from voter registration rolls.

d. the right to establish a one-house legislature

most are appointed by the president and confirmed by a vote in the senate. however, appeals court judges appoint federal bankruptcy judges, and district judges appoint federal magistrate judges. the qualifications for these positions vary depending on the preferences of the person reviewing nominees.
