Scenario: During a federal election, a voter arrives at their polling place and is told that they must pay a poll tax before they are allowed to cast their ballot. The voter argues that such a requirement is unconstitutional, as it prevents individuals from voting based on their ability to pay. The election officials insist that the poll tax is necessary to cover administrative costs. The voter refuses to pay and files a lawsuit, arguing that the Constitution prohibits this practice. Which amendment supports the voter’s argument that the poll tax is unconstitutional?
