How are voter laws racist?

[Rakehellion]

Not my fault if idiots got excessive charges from the banks due to insufficient fund and got blacklisted on Chex system.

So now you're completely ignoring the matter of voter registration and are scraping the bottom of your racist stereotype barrel.

You need an ID to get a job. You never filled out an I-9 form?

I've never needed to show ID for any job I've had.

No need for ID for a job or rent an apt? I guess you are right if you apply for a job as janitor at McDonald or rent a place in da ghetto, dawg.

So now you're saying that people who work at McDonald's or live in the ghetto do not deserve to vote. That's unconstitutional.

I can understand if locals want elections and local government to serve the people who are permanent residents of the area, rather than weighted by a large population of temporary students who will have moved away in a few years time.

When it comes to college students, if you're talking about state-wide elections it all evens out anyways, for every college student that has come to a state, there is a college student who has gone out of a state. Instead of being a Democratic vote in your temporary college town, you are a Democratic vote in your former permanent residence. A Democratic vote is a Democratic vote.

The way progressives, and even you, tend to portray things is as if half the population of the U.S. has this deep resentment towards "the other side", which I just don't believe is true, thus I tend to believe alternate possibilities more than the "I want the other side suppressed" theory.

Many progressives do hold the belief that conservatism is primarily about racial oppression, thus they naturally believe these reasonings to be true.

Yeah, funny how all these republican legislators got concerned about all this issues after Obama got in office.

Employees may present one selection from List A
or a combination of one selection from List B and one selection from List C

List B includes Voter's registration card (which does not have a photo)
And List C includes A Social Security Account Number card (which does not have a photo)

Therefore it is entirely possible to have fully legal employment without any form of photo identification.






Edit: Or I could read the posts immediately after yours which point out what I just did.

My point was and still is that you need ID to live in a normal life in the 21st century. I know, I know...but you don't need that if you need like a hobo/Amish, right?

I agree that you need an ID to live a "normal life" in the 21st century (more people have them than don't, so that's pretty normal). But you don't need to live a "normal life" to vote in our country; that's not the law and it never has been. So the entire basis of your argument is irrelevant in the context of voting. Who cares if flying on planes or buying alcohol or driving is something that "normal" people do if those things aren't required for voting?

If the Repubs who legislated these laws were to go out of their way to reach out to those voters who would be disenfranchised, suppressed or otherwise inconvenienced in any way, shape or form, then we wouldn't even be debating this problem, now would we?

What's wrong with sending out mobile registration vans to neighborhoods that would be negatively impacted by these restrictive regisration laws? What's wrong with registrars going out to the invalids, or going out to the college campuses and setting up registration booths to encourage our young ones to vote? These are just a couple of easily deployable programs of the many possible that would definetely get more folks out to vote.....but oh crap, it just so happens to be the folks that would lean toward voting for Democrats so.......forget it, huh?

Repub legislators themselves have already admitted with glee how these voter ID laws are going to guarantee them wins in the next election cycle. Let's not dick around with all these silly blatantly transparent excuses and just call it what we ALL know they really are: Targeted voter disenfranchisement laws created by the Repubs and ONLY by the Repubs.

Voter ID laws aren't racist but as expected typical idiots have to resort to pulling the race card when they don't get their way.

Hmmm..why am I not surprised the OP and the trolls like matt1970 and nehalem refuse to even try to explain how the GOP admits this isn't about voter fraud?

I mean they were willing to talk about the "11 million illegal immigrants ", but they can't even try to refute what their own party is admitting?

Very odd....I wonder if they ever get tired of finding out that their own party has and continues to lie to them about their objectives. And yet they continue to lap it up without ever questioning it.

No one that supports these voter ID laws wants to explain their defense when the GOP admits there is no real voter fraud? Really? Are the trolls that chickenshit? Guess so.
