This whole thing is just blatantly unconstitutional. It's a modern-day poll tax for Ohio college students who want to vote.
If they register to vote and don't comply with getting a driver's license in that amount of time, then they would be fined. So there's a burdensome cost either way that would make out-of-state college students not want to pay that much just to vote.
Unsurprisingly, it's these same college towns that Ohio Republicans are trying to suppress the vote of that gave Obama large margins (>60%) against Romney in 2012. Even Ohio University (Athens) which is impacted negatively by this bill went for Fitzy last year by a 17 point margin. Not a coincidence that they're going after only us.
Husted played these same games back in 2012 and it didn't work out for him in court or the actual election. Meaning they can pass this amendment, though it will face backlash in more ways than one.
