When liberals decry voter identification laws as tools for voter suppression, they aren’t arguing ex nihilo. The evidence is clear: identification requirements for voting reduce turnout among low-income and minority voters. And the particular restrictions imposed by Republican lawmakers—limiting the acceptable forms of identification, ending opportunities for student voting, reducing hours for early voting—certainly do appear aimed at Democratic voters.Indeed, in a column for right-wing clearinghouse World Net Daily, longtime conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly acknowledged as much with a defense of North Carolina’s new voting law, which has been criticized for its restrictions on access, among other things. Here’s Schlafly:
“The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama’s national field director admitted, shortly before last year’s election, that ‘early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.’
there was no treachery, skulduggery, or felony during it was call thinking of it first and beating the to the end. no one was disenfranchised or purged, gerrymandered or asked to prove after years of voting and being acquainted with the poll people were any without a drivers license refused their right to vote, there was no fraud only fraud was pol taxes how many bubbles in a bar of soap, how many beans in the jar.
now it's outright voter suppression and blocking and rigging all on the right side of the elections.
“The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats’ get-out-the-vote campaign.”
She later adds that early voting “violates the spirit of the Constitution” and facilitates “illegal votes” that “cancel out the votes of honest Americans.” I’m not sure what she means by “illegal votes,” but it sounds an awful lot like voting by Democratic constituencies: students, low-income people, and minorities.
Schlafly, it should be noted, isn’t the first Republican to confess the true reason for voter identification laws. Among friendly audiences, they can’t seem to help it.
Last spring, for example, Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai told a gathering of Republicans that their voter identification law would “allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.”
all this and the SCOTUS thinks that after10 months the republicans have see the error of their ways an no longer need babysitting. the world is laughing at us. we want to spread democracy with us as a template it's no wonder they are attacking us, it seems the carrot on the stick waving in front of us is the life we are promised in the constitution and bill of rights, the fading promise is worse than some countries who know it ain't gonna happen, while we hope and pray the republicans continue to lose the chance to fully fillet our lives.
