Saw this on the Frontline post on my Facebook.

Civil Rights and community leaders are gravely concerned over this trend.

The need to verify the voters' identity is one thing but to disenfranchise the poor, minorities and the elderly is tyranny.
For those who have faith, no explanation is neccessary.
For those who have no faith, no explanation is possible.

St. Thomas Aquinas

If one turns his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9

Yep...they are trying to lock in, via legislation, the blue/red states for either side...and I am sure they hope to minimize the swing states in the process.

Good thing no one is disenfrachising anyone. It is so easy to get an id to show who you are, there simply is no explanation, other than liberals encouraging voting fraud, that you don't have one.

Yeah, voter fraud is such a rampant problem in this country.  Tens of thousands of ineligible voters are constantly joining together in a massive conspiracy to combine their individual votes to swing the outcomes.  After all, that is the most efficient and effective way to influence elections.  No need to fiddle with the new electronic voting machines or have party bosses stuff ballot boxes.  Just millions of voters.  Thats the ticket.


PUH LEEZ!


My mother-in-law is a right wing dupe dedicated to Faux News and the Republican party.  She has also been a poll worker for the past twenty years.  Even she says massive voter fraud is a fantasy.

Here's the difference between a capitalist society and a communist society:  Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's the other way around.
