When the Obama Presidential Center opens to visitors this summer, Illinois residents will be able to visit for free each week.

As part of the Illinois Free Days program, residents will receive free admission to the Presidential Center Museum every Tuesday. The Obama Foundation, which operates the center, strongly encourages visitors to reserve tickets in advance, noting high demand is expected and capacity limits will remain the same as all other days.

According to the center's website, free day tickets will go on sale in May, when general ticket sales begin.

Residents must present a current Illinois driver's license, state ID or Chicago CityKey card at the ticket desk to establish proof of residency, according to the Obama Foundation's website.

As Matt Walsh pointed out, and as we've all been told repeatedly, given the crippling impossibility of black people navigating the labyrinth of ID acquisition, I guess this means black people won't be able to get in free on Tuesdays to the Obama museum!

Everyone, including Democrats, knows that Democrats don't want voter ID because voter ID helps prevent them from cheating in elections and committing voter fraud.

Eh. The bigger impact is on the census. That's a type of voter fraud that people don't seem to understand, yet is way more impactful.

I also forgot to add married women who changed from their maiden names. They won't be able to get in either.

Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center will feature a gymnasium including an NBA regulation-size court with intersecting practice courts



Yes they can find ID to play some b-ball.

I'll bet they have metal detectors at the Presidential Center, or guess what day violence spikes around that area.

In other words, if I were a resident, I'd pay for my admission any day other than go on Tuesdays.

While I support voter ID requirements, this is a terrible attempt at comparison.

I hope they have planned for the absolute onslaught of foot traffic.

Travel tip - Plan you visits on Monday or Wednesday!
