If this is a slam against requiring ID to vote, I just don’t get it. In my state just to get a Driver’s License, one has to show either authentic passport or birth certificate plus valid Social Security PLUS 2 pieces of data that proves the applicant lives where he says. For married women, they have to bring copies of their marriage certificates/licenses (if there’s been a change in surname). This, just for the priviledge of driving…..
How many people were prevented from voting by the two goons at a single 90% African-American polling place?Hint, it’s less than 1. BTW, the guy who had the club was kicked out of the NBP.Let’s make no mistake: the NBP are a hate group, but trying to make this sound like widespread voter intimidation makes you sound like an idiot.
Tigger: I know folks overseas in the military, and that argument is absurd on its face.
If folks have to secure a PHOTO ID, at the cost of even ONE NICKEL, it becomes a poll tax, period, and is illegal. If a SS card, issued free, doesn’t suffice, then the right to vote is being withheld. Also, I want to see PROOF that any state provides a photo I.D. absolutely FREE.
Howie, you’re lying on the Black Panther thing. One polling place. Two guys. A tiny hate group with no official power, condemned by both political parties. As opposed to the actual Republican government of Pennsylvania using the law to take the vote away from 750,000 legal citizens. Romney has said that Obama doesn’t know what it means to be American, but lord help your right to vote if the GOP gets control of your executive, legislative, and judicial branches as it has in PA.
Wow, this has to be the dumbest made-up issue ever. People still have over 3 months to get an ID before the election. If they can’t figure it out they shouldn’t be voting. Also if Dems are really worried about people getting to the DMV or having 10 dollars to get the ID, why don’t Dems just pay for them and give them a ride?
Unless there’s some OTHER reason Dems don’t want people to show ID when they vote????
12 years, a total of 10, TEN whole in person voter fraud cases in the ENTIRE NATION, OH the HORROR! Maybe if more folks watched Stewart instead of listing to LImbaugh, they’d actually learn some facts? Oh, right, repubtards and dittoheads don’t believe in facts.

Yes, the “right” is SO dedicated to preserving the RIGHTS of all folks, well, that they “approve”.
