What a terrible thing to propose, even sarcastically. I bet ZOG would happily call the bluff on that and implement voter ID if it carried the weight of mandatory vaccination. It's not as though they need real votes from ineligible voters any more when they can just spoof the count.

Since it's pushed at states that WANT vaccine passports (and probably think voter ID is a racial injustice) - it's more of a poke at the absurdity of the situation than anything else.

Pretty good troll.

I vaguely remember something like this happening in the 1800s. Much in the same spirit legislation was proposed, but it actually passed! I wish I could remember more specifically. I thought it might have been in relation to the 'spoils system' but I cant' find anything in a search. Could have been pre-Civil War as well.

Found what I was thinking of, it was pre-civil war.

The 1828 tariff actually came into being as part of a complicated political strategy designed to cause problems for President John Quincy Adams. Supporters of Andrew Jackson hated Adams following his victory in the "Corrupt Bargain" election of 1824.

The Jackson people drew up legislation with very high tariffs on imports necessary to both the North and South, on the assumption that the bill would not pass. And the president, it was assumed, would be blamed for the failure to pass the tariff bill. And that would cost him among his supporters in the Northeast.

The strategy backfired when the tariff bill passed in Congress on May 11, 1828. President John Quincy Adams signed it into law. Adams believed the tariff was a good idea and signed it though he realized it could hurt him politically in the upcoming election of 1828.

The new tariff imposed high import duties on iron, molasses, distilled spirits, flax, and various finished goods. The law was instantly unpopular, with people in different regions disliking parts of it, but the opposition was greatest in the South.

I should have remembered this as it is argued that this is what started the road towards the Civil War.

I can see where that would start the resentment that eventually lead to war, especially considering the manufacturing base in a still young United States wouldn't be able to supply some of that stuff readily.
