Typical of leftist Democrats to use someone like this to support them;
Just more proof that what I said about felons is true, they all go Democrat.
Just more proof of your own state of denial, your acceptance of underhanded tactics so that your team can win.
We start with the whole concept of in person voter fraud, which is just a marketing tool, like bigfoot, Iraqi WMD's & the rest.
Repubs attach voter ID to that as if it's statistically significant, when it's not. You and the rest accept that on Faith, because you want to believe it's true, despite a total lack of proof.
When real life examples of people being disenfranchised are offered, you obfuscate & divert into discussion of other situations requiring ID, as if they matter. They don't.
When confronted, you resort to calling other kinds of electoral fraud "voter fraud" as if voter ID would diminish them, even though it won't. It can't. Felons voting in Minnesota has nothing to do with voter ID, and you won't even concede the truth in that.
Going further, you offer up a couple of Philly boneheads as proof of Dems' campaign of "voter suppression", as if that even vaguely compares to what Repubs are attempting nationwide.
When statements & actions by Repub figures in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, & Maryland are brought forth, you ignore them or attack the source.
You convince nobody but yourself & fellow rubes of the righteousness of voter suppression efforts, and you do so because you're afraid, very afraid, that real Democracy would threaten what you think you have to lose.
It's always been that way with Conservatives, who have attempted to limit the franchise all along. At first, only landowners could vote, which gave way under conservative reluctance to only white men over the age of 21 could vote in the 1850's. In the wake of the civil war, conservatives managed to keep it that way in many parts of the country with Jim Crow. Conservatives opposed Women's suffrage, and ultimately lost. They clung to Jim Crow ferociously until the civil rights acts of the 60's, and opposed lowering the voting age to 18, as well. But that doesn't mean they've given up, at all. They've just switched tactics, found new ways to attempt to stifle hostile voting groups, people who have every right to vote, just like the rest of us.
A poor person's vote is every bit as potent and as valuable as Mitt's, but only if they actually get to vote, so Repubs will do their damndest to see that they never get there.
