I wonder if our friend TM knows the difference between a preliminary proposal and a finished bill?
And this is why you release a proposal. To get feedback from the community to see if anything is wrong with the proposal, and make needed changes.
They didn't "dump" the idea, they worked to make it better.
After it was pointed out to them that closing offices would keep people from being able to vote.
The proposal they first proffered would have and people pointed it out so they changed the plan huh?
No, it was after it was pointed out that the proposal would leave some areas without motor vehicle services.
And, come to think of it, you never did get around to explaining how the closure of these offices would keep the Democratic voters from getting ID's, while the Republican voters in the same towns would have no such problems. How about filling us in on that?

TM has had over 2 hours to explain why Dems would have problems while Reps don't, but hasn't answered yet.
Surely the DNC would have issued her an answer by now.

I predict that it will be a month before she bumps this thread again and claims victory.

"Pleanty"? Sheesh, what a maroon...And I proved there is pleanty of evidence to show that the republican party has used these types of tactics in the past to keep voters from voting.
Then the capper is they did NOT impliment the plan after it was publicized WHAT they were doing.
If it was not scrapped because of the beliefs of people it was politically motivated WHY did they scrap the idea?

Suppressing the Vote -- In These Times
Genevieve Winslow, an 83-year-old widow in frail health living with her son Jeffrey in Milwaukee, Wis., spent 90 minutes at a DMV office in July and came away exasperated. She came with her Social Security card in the name of Genevieve, her Medicare card in the name of Genevieve, a certified copy of her marriage certificate from 1948 in the name of Genevieve and perhaps most important, an expired passport issued in 1987 in the name of Genevieve, recounts her son. But because her birth certificate featured the Polish version of her name, she walked away without a new ID.
The easiest thing for mom would be to get a new passport, which would be quite expensive [$135]. But we live on her Social Security payment, Jeffrey Winslow says. Its not a happy situation, but shes determined for them not to take away her vote.
