NAACP Protests Racist Voter ID Laws

[Back]

Do you want constant surveillance? How about a subdermic chip that tracks your every move?

Honestly, we already have that. You own a smart phone?

They've got you tilting at windmills with this voter fraud bullshit. Perfection is not possible. We are doing a damn good job with it though. It's a non-issue. It just is not a problem in our country. The only reason we are talking about this is because the GOP is threatened by voter turnout. It's shameful how otherwise patriotic Americans gobble this shut up and are so willing to keep their fellow citizens from the ballot box. Win on ideas. If you can't, then you're just going to have to get better.

Really isn't an answer, but that's to be expected from you. I wonder if you would feel the same way if 40 million illegal people wanted to vote GOP.

The real difference between the Repubs and the Dems on this is..
Repubs want every valid vote to count.
Dems want every vote to count valid or not.

Like I said.. if Hispanics mainly voted GOP (which oddly, their values generally more align with GOP, but go figure) Dems would be fighting for voter ID laws.

Personally, I don't have a problem with this, since I neither violate the law, nor care if people know where I am. And frankly, it would solve just about every missing person case period, (and I really do fear for my niece when she goes to the "mall" - she walks there and it's 5 miles from her house) not to mention make it insanely easy to figure out who is committing a crime in progress.

That being said, I don't really want it. Because I know some people will abuse it.

An id in your pocket /= constant surveillance.

Yep. Seems handy until a future government uses it for genocidal purposes just because they can. If men were angels, government could be trusted with this kind of thing. Right, wb?

I certainly don't trust the government with universal surveillance. The problem is most Americans do.

Very few people in America care about privacy. In fact I'd say that we've pushed it to the point where we actively pursue personal publicity. 30 minutes on Google will tell you anything you want to know about pretty much any American. No one gives a rip about privacy. This concern about government surveillance is strange to me. We surveill ourselves just fine.

This is the most Un-american stuff that we see. You are actually saying that people should be disenfranchised depending on how they vote. That it is a fair and just campaign strategy. At least you can see that this is happening. Now you have to fight it. Stand up to it. Write your congressmen or something.

As to your snarky little comment about me not answering your question; I didn't give you a number because your question was idiotic, but I did answer it. In fact, take some time to go back and read my answer. Let is sink in.

It's not about racism or illegal aliens. Each party just wants more votes.
