Well. Here's mine.

There’s an important issue missing in your review of Alcee Hasting’s claim that Rick Scott’s voter purge is a poll tax. An alarming number of older Floridians, many black and hispanic, don’t have birth certificates. For those born at home or through a mid-wife, proving birth is nearly impossible and expensive. For those, estimated to be 7% of the population; who just don’t have a birth certificate, including the poor, students and others who have just lost theirs through the years, the cost is still involved and can be anywhere from $10 - $30, which is a big chunk for many poor - not just the elderly. Then there's the time factor. Many states take up to three months to provide a Certificate of Live Birth; so therefore the requirement is, in fact, excessive, expensive, and in violation of the Voter’s Rights Act.

Taking this in context, your ruling should have been "Mostly True".


LOOKIE!
