SECTION 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
SECTION 2.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
This relates to me because if i wanted to vote and i didn't pay and poll tax or any other taxes I still have the right to vote. They can't take that away because I didn't pay.
This is just showing that people didn't have to pay to vote. It would be ridiculous to have to vote for pretty much your own opinion. I'm sure if there was a poll tax today not many people would vote.
In this drawing, to me. it looks like they tried to make the ballot box look kind of like a safe, which would infer that us voting equals them money. But it has an X going through it, so it kind of is saying that people shouldn't vote if it's going to cost.
