NAACP Protests Racist Voter ID Laws

[Candor]

[QUOTE=Wrathbringer;1631375]

I still don't understand the entire issue. You vote, you bring a valid ID. Duh.

It amazes me this is even an issue, let alone fodder for a protest (in which you are strongly encouraged to bring...a valid ID).

Can't get the illegal alien votes to win every election going forward if ID is required. Simple as that.

I wish I could say that response was some sort of bad joke. I really do. But I am afraid you are right.

I'm amused if he thinks he's more of a citizen than the illegal aliens.

This confuses me. American citizens are American citizens, illegal aliens are people here from other countries that aren't supposed to be here. One of those is a citizen, the other is not.

Of all people on PC you should be up in arms over voter ID laws. Some state governments are spending their time creating laws to combat a non-existent issue by curtailing the liberties of it's citizens. They are "fixing" a voting system that works great. How can you support that?

I have a question for you Cwolff. How many illegal votes would it take for you to be ok with implementing Voter ID laws? Dems are always up in arms if there is even 1 person that feels they are disenfranchised and not allowed to vote.. but if we were to find 1 illegal vote, would you be equally up in arms? Or would it take several thousand? Several million? Or just enough that your candidate didn't win?

Well.. I got this to say.. at least you aren't as bad as Back yet. He feels every person in the entire world should get to decide who runs our country. He wants CHINA to have a say.

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.

Voting is a right given only to citizens. Citizens have to have a way to prove they're citizens in order to vote. It's not complicated.

You're assuming that there is only one way for this to work and that way is an official identification card. The system we have been using for voter registration works and it's been working. What do you want to fix something that isn't broken? That's a rhetorical question because I already know the answer. The reason you want to "fix" it is to suppress the vote of people who are not likely to support your candidates. It's got absolutely nothing to do with fraud.

It does? Should this particular tax dodger have more legal rights than an alien paying taxes?

Are you saying that you believe that voter ID laws would suppress the vote of more minorities than it would suppress the votes of those who aren't eligible to vote?

And I still think cwolff and Back are the same person. Just saying.

If the tax dodger is a citizen and the alien isn't, then yes.

That doesn't mean that the tax dodger shouldn't face charges for dodging his taxes though. Even if he's white!

[Gelston]

They both violate the laws of this country, and until that tax dodger is a convicted felon he has the right to vote.
