Well, he didn't disappoint....and junior still can't figure out how to quote grown-ups.
Says the "moderate" as the Klown can't refute FACTUAL data and evidence that voter restriction laws fall MUCH heavier on minorities. Weird Bubba
Minorities and non-minorities are held to the same standard by the law. No dice in playing the race card sonny.
Sure Bubba, sure. NOT like Romney nor Bush's started on 3rd base, EVERYONE had the same opportunities, just like the nearly quarter of blacks without an ACCEPTABLE voter ID (IN GOPers minds). NRA card are OK, but student ID cards are not, lol
Yeah, the GOP RACIST VOTER RESTRICTION LAWS falls equally heavy on everyone, regardless of race...lol
You needn't been born on 3rd base to afford a driver's license....
But in case you were born in the dugout, the reddest state in the union...TEXAS...offers a free picture ID so you can cast your ballot:

Any other false barriers you want to try to erect?
Cool, you'll ignore the two other times I posted this, shockingly, lol
The Challenge of Obtaining Voter Identification
Ten states now have unprecedented restrictive voter ID laws. Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin all require citizens to produce specific types of government-issued photo identification before they can cast a vote that will count. Legal precedent requires these states to provide free photo ID to eligible voters who do not have one. Unfortunately, these free IDs are not equally accessible to all voters. This report is the first comprehensive assessment of the difficulties that eligible voters face in obtaining free photo ID.
The 11 percent of eligible voters who lack the required photo ID must travel to a designated government office to obtain one. Yet many citizens will have trouble making this trip. In the 10 states with restrictive voter ID laws:
- Nearly 500,000 eligible voters do not have access to a vehicle and live more than 10 miles from the nearest state ID-issuing office open more than two days a week. Many of them live in rural areas with dwindling public transportation options.
- More than 10 million eligible voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest state ID-issuing office open more than two days a week.
- 1.2 million eligible black voters and 500,000 eligible Hispanic voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest ID-issuing office open more than two days a week. People of color are more likely to be disenfranchised by these laws since they are less likely to have photo ID than the general population.
- Many ID-issuing offices maintain limited business hours. For example, the office in Sauk City, Wisconsin is open only on the fifth Wednesday of any month. But only four months in 2012 — February, May, August, and October — have five Wednesdays. In other states — Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas — many part-time ID-issuing offices are in the rural regions with the highest concentrations of people of color and people in poverty.
The result is plain: Voter ID laws will make it harder for hundreds of thousands of poor Americans to vote. They place a serious burden on a core constitutional right that should be universally available to every American citizen.
YEAH, WHY MAKE VOTING EASIER WHEN YOU CAN PLACE MORE BARRIERS RIGHT "MODERATE" BUBBA? LOL
GOP's modern poll taxes supported by "moderates" everywhere, lol
