New G.O.P. Bid to Limit Voting in Swing States
 
If you can't beat them then do everything you can to make it difficult as possible to vote....

Quote:
In all, nine states have passed measures making it harder to vote since the beginning of 2013. Most have to do with voter ID laws. Other states are considering mandating proof of citizenship, like a birth certificate or a passport, after a federal court judge recently upheld such laws passed in Arizona and Kansas. Because many poor people do not have either and because documents can take time and money to obtain, Democrats say the ruling makes it far more difficult for people to register.

All this is just desparate buying time last ditch moves. If the R's want to remain a viable party they need to start moving toward the center as their natural base is dying off.

Poor people whose precincts just happened to go 100% for Obama in Cleveland and Philly.
And more voted than were residing in several of those areas.

"It's for the poor!" The thieves battle cry.

Making sure you are who you say you are is such a crime.

You need an ID to get welfare. Use that one.

Not if you are a Corporation (see People v. Citizens United).

The Corporations through their well paid lobbyists, pretty much get whatever they want.

At ANY level of politics, from dog catchers to the Presidency and Congress.

Actually the social security card is the one favored by the better off. They get bigger checks, and live longer, and collect by far the larger share of the biggest entitlement pie.

Do you ever check the veracity of any of those forwarded emails you get??

West and North Philly = 94 percent black resident population, SEVEN white residents according to the 2010 census. Only 12 registered Republicans in that division, NONE of whom voted for Romney or answered an inquiry carried out by the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Yeah, there's a CONSPIRACY for ya!:rolleyes:

I find it very sad to watch people oppose measures that attempt to nature the legitimacy of elections.

Moral and ethical people would not oppose such measures.

Saw an unarguably good bumper sticker on a car the other day:


Picture of a dog's sad face next to this inscription:

DOGS AGAINST ROMNEY 2012

The real problem is lack of voter participation.

As soon as you show us a measure which is intended to make elections more legitimate, then we'll talk.

Anyone who doesn't see that these R measures are an attempt to disenfranchise poor D voters is asleep at the wheel.
