so I'm still confused at what having an ID does to discriminate a voter. Can you explain?Aw cut out the BS, we all know what the GOP is doing with their voter ID antics. The North Carolina Court decision has exposed that strategy already. But if that isn't proof enough of the GOP national agenda to suppress voting rights, here is more:Seems like it's you suggesting blacks can't do what you do.
But do they have a car like you? Do they have a babysitter? Id? Money to get an ID?
And are whites going to make blacks in poor area wait 2 hours to vote while you 20 minutes?
That's entirely up to the district. Each district or county sets their parameters on voting; how many workers will there be, how many voting tables will there be, what facility to use for voting and so on.
But as long as you bring it up, how do those people with no car or baby sitter go shopping? Go to the bank? Go to see relatives?
Most states that I'm aware of that have Voter-ID give poor people who can't afford an ID one free of charge.
Rolling Stone Mag said:Republicans have long tried to drive Democratic voters away from the polls. "I don't want everybody to vote," the influential conservative activist Paul Weyrich told a gathering of evangelical leaders in 1980. "As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." But since the 2010 election, thanks to a conservative advocacy group founded by Weyrich, the GOP's effort to disrupt voting rights has been more widespread and effective than ever. In a systematic campaign orchestrated by the American Legislative Exchange Council – and funded in part by David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who bankrolled the Tea Party – 38 states introduced legislation this year designed to impede voters at every step of the electoral process.

Again, one needs an ID do most everything in society as we've shown. So tell us what asking to prove who you are is a discrimination.
