LMAO, you mad bitch? Facts and logic win out yet again, you can't even retort when it kicks you in the ass.

No, I just figured all you want to do is have an insult contest. Besides, the first evidence in your link was yet just another person's opinion. Go home fool, this is where the big boys play.

I think he doesn't want to admit his lack of reading skills. However he is very good at listening to Fox News and repeating.

A good analogy just occurred to me...

Would you say it is racist for colleges to have a deadline to apply for FAFSA, a deadline to take your placement test, a deadline to complete your orientation, a deadline for entrance counseling, and a deadline to register?

How many Democrat voters don't have ID?

I don't know, do you?

Do you know actual numbers on voter fraud? I don't--but I hear the average is insignificantly low.

Further, it pretty much only happens with absentee ballots.

How does a voter ID law actually address the single worthwhile data point in an otherwise insignificant problem?

Answer: it doesn't.

Indeed, in a column for right-wing clearinghouse WorldNetDaily, longtime conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly acknowledged as much with a defense of North Carolina’s new voting law, which has been criticized for its restrictions on access, among other things. Here’s Schlafly:

“The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama’s national field director admitted, shortly before last year’s election, that ‘early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.’

“The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats’ get-out-the-vote campaign.”

She later adds that early voting “violates the spirit of the Constitution” and facilitates “illegal votes” that “cancel out the votes of honest Americans.” I’m not sure what she means by “illegal votes,” but it sounds an awful lot like voting by Democratic constituencies: students, low-income people, and minorities.

Schlafly, it should be noted, isn’t the first Republican to confess the true reason for voter-identification laws. Among friendly audiences, they can’t seem to help it.

Last spring, for example, Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai told a gathering of Republicans that their voter identification law would “allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.”

at an event hosted by the Heritage Foundation, former Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund conceded that Democrats had a point about the GOP’s focus on voter ID, as opposed to those measures—such as absentee balloting—that are vulnerable to tampering. “I think it is a fair argument of some liberals that there are some people who emphasize the voter ID part more than the absentee ballot part because supposedly Republicans like absentee ballots more and they don’t want to restrict that,” he said.

After the election, former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer told The Palm Beach Post that the explicit goal of the state’s voter-ID law was Democratic suppression. “The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told the Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only ... ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’” he said. Indeed, the Florida Republican Party imposed a host of policies, from longer ballots to fewer precincts in minority areas, meant to discourage voting. And it worked. According to one study, as many as 49,000 people were discouraged from voting in November 2012 as a result of long lines and other obstacles.

You are literally retarded and illiterate

There is a valid argument in there though, do you really want people too stupid or lazy to register before hand to pick your government?

Not really--I also "don't want" people too stupid to fact check and form their own opinions on data, too stupid to realize that the teabaggers are anti-patriotic scum, etc, to vote.

point is: everyone has a group that they'd rather not vote, because that group is going to vote in a way that conflicts with the individual's passions.

It's a very un-American concept.

Typically when you have a nefarious plan that would disgust most Americans if they knew the truth, you don't exactly want it to get out. The fact that "2" (actually more, in the article i posted) Republicans admit to this is pretty amazing.

And since you're an illiterate retard, here's the link:

What the hell is so hard about an ID?

The same people who pass these laws also make it as difficult as possible to get an id.

In the same way they are making it as difficult as they can for people to get help and information about the ACA.

Most of us have an id, a driver's license.

But open your eyes for a minute and you'll be able to think about the people who don't. Because they're old. Or disabled. Or don't need to drive.

Anytime there's a new requirement that a person didn't use to need, some people aren't going to bother.

Then you restrict the hours and dates and even more people won't be able to vote.

Then you make it against the law to help people get id cards, or find out about the ACA.

Just a reminder that Jim Cramer's dad almost lost his right to vote because of voter ID, but because his son is a rich former hedge fund manager and current CNBC television star, the Pennsylvania state government went out of their way to help him over that hurdle.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/how-jim-cramer-solved-his-dad-s-voter-id-mess-in-7-hours

The moral of the story? If you have a rich, white, famous relative, they might be able to restore your right to vote if they go to bat for you. So don't worry poor blac---- ohhhhhhhhhhh

Early voting always had to do with the Military you dumbass, it’s not about race. That’s why Democrats have always been against it since the majority of the Military voted Republican.

The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee filed the suit to block a new state law allowing men and women in uniform to vote up until the Monday right before an election, while the cutoff on early voting for the rest of the public is three days earlier.

Early voting has not always had to do with the military, and Democrats support early voting. Republicans are the ones trying to curb early voting.

Additionally, you have the law in Ohio precisely backwards. Obama was suing to block the implementation of a new law that restricted early voting for everyone BUT the military.. Obama was simply suing to block implementation of the new law so that everyone's early voting would stay exactly the same as it always was, military included.

Seriously, the law at issue in your link shows the exact opposite of what you think it shows. There was a strong conservative misinformation campaign about this, which is why you might be confused.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH

It's amazing, here i couldn't believe that you'd become more retarded than you already were, but here you are.

1) Please tell me how allowing ONE class of people more voting privileges over others rather than giving EVERYONE the same early voting privileges provers your point? It just proves mine that the GOP plays dirty

2) That doesn't prove there's no systemic bias

The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama’s national field director admitted, shortly before last year’s election, that ‘early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.’

Here's an exchange between Hannity and Santorum. Based on your BATSHIT STUPID POST, does that mean conservatives hate the military?

Hannity: I don't like this early voting --

Santorum: I hate it.

Hannity: It's been going on forever --

Santorum: I hate it.

Hannity: And it opens up the door to corruption.

Santorum: It does. And look, the race changed from a month ago. When Ohio was early voting, it was before the first debate and the people who went out and voted, really in my opinion, really didn't know Governor Romney and what kind of candidate he really is and the real distinction between Romney and Obama.

You guys keep thinking you are raising the stakes with these tiny insignifigant local politicians. Here is my final raise. It's not JUST Robert Byrd, and yes, you should get mad when you hear his name, it's all the Democratic Senators that kept electing him Senate Majority Leader and President pro tempore up untill 3 years ago. Senate Democrats that are voting in a Klansman as their leader. Not decades ago, 3 years ago. And seeing as how you think it's a game of keeping score, I will also throw in the pot the 112 Democratic US Senators and US Represenatives that voted against the civil rights act vs the 41 Republicans that voted against it.

If you can swallow that and think your party is clean and can take the high road, knock yourselves out.

It's funny how the overwhelming majority of facts (i.e. the ones presented here, as well as TWO former RNC chairmen admitting that the modern day GOP was founded on racism) doesn't fit your narrative, in fact you get self owned every time you bring it up, and really the only thing you can go back on is Robert Byrd as if that means anything. The fact is that the GOP is 90% white (and getting older/more southern/whiter), most of them racists while the D's are diverse and will get more diverse as time goes on. Kind of hard to be the party of racists when the D's are the party of diversity.

No, a dead man doesn't mean much to me, neither does a live reformed racist whose actions aren't racist.

But apparently to you, a living, active GOP party member and government official, who says in no uncertain terms, that their motives are indeed discriminatory, means absolutely fucking nothing to you!

You've gone full incorruptible! Congrats!
