An opinion has been given in New Jersey
courts, that a voter cannot be DISTINGUISHED
because his tax is not paid. The decision
was given on test case where the city OF
Trenton passed resolution asking the
legislature 10 enact bill to make every
voter pay his poll tax or be DISTINGUISHED.
But the constitution of New Jersey makes
no provision for the payment of taxes of
any kind as prerequisite to the right of an
eector to east his vote and the Legislature
would not have the right to pass such a law
if introduced.
