NAACP Protests Racist Voter ID Laws

[Back]

Somehow I think that even if voter ID laws were enacted there would be people crying about fraudulent IDs after they lose the next election cycle.

It is ironic that some people are calling for everyone to have IDs while also saying we need smaller government and more privacy.

Agreed. Democrats can be pretty whiney.

Read it and find out for yourself. It's better than just letting the Blaze and Fox tell you what you're supposed to be upset about.



Great idea. Let's spend all that money to fix a non existent problem. GO BIG GOVERNMENT! Maybe we could all get chipped too.

I did read it...

Yup.. he certainly sounds completely unpartisan. I mean, this guy I bet is 100% unable to be influenced by his beliefs or thoughts....








.... sorry.. I almost had a heart attack from laughing at that last statement.

Thumb print verification. Frankly, I think we should do away with absentee ballots period.

My mom's Aunt is in a retirement home. The nurse "helped" her fill out the ballot. She had them tear it up because the nurse "accidentally" marked Obama over Romney. But.. Cwolff thinks our system is perfectly fine as is.

Got to love anecdata when the data doesn't add up.

Excellent example of you and your party using this as just another political tool to be used to win elections.

The democrats do want people to vote in order to win elections. The GOP does not want people to vote in order to win. Now who's the tool?

The democrats do want illegal aliens to vote in order to win elections. The GOP does not want illegal aliens to vote in order to win. Now who's the tool?

Fixed.

Actually.. funny little story. Everyone having photo ID doesn't make the government bigger. It would actually shrink it. When stopped by a cop for anything, they can ask. "show me your ID" and bam.. you show them ID.

As for Privacy.. the only people that are so far off the grid that they don't HAVE an ID or WANT an ID are wack jobs. I seriously doubt anyone here that does like privacy doesn't have an ID.

You mean the part where a nurse tried to enter the wrong vote but was caught? You do realize this happens a lot more then you wish to admit right? Did you know that people suffering dementia are not stripped of their right to vote? They can be mailed a absentee ballot. Someone needs to fill it out. I'll let you put 2 and 2 together.

Here's a question. Does anyone really think that voter ID laws would actually change the outcome of elections?
