In all seriousness, why is it a problem for one particular segment of the population to show an ID just to prove identity? Do African-American people not have IDs? Are they scared of some sort of retribution for voting? How is this different than requiring ID when boarding a plane, or buying alcohol, or driving a car?
Are African-Americans themselves saying that this is voter suppression, or is it white people with tremendous sense of guilt who writes this stuff? I am a white guy and I just don't understand why this is considered voter suppression. Why is it only African-Americans who would be suppressed? Why not Hispanics? Why not some particular segment of whites(lower income maybe)? How about Asians? Or are all non-rish-whites going to be suppressed, so only rich white people can vote? How could that happen? What is the real reason behind this fewar of identification? Seriously, as a guy who shows his ID all of the time to buy stuff and go places, I don't understand - please explain. > On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 4:46 PM, Jerry Barnes <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Read more here: > > http://www.washingtonpost. com/opini> ons/how-states-are-rigging-the-2012-election/2011/06/19/AGCdB3bH_story. > html > > > > Reminds me of the Kinks: *Paranoia*, the *destroyer* > > > > Concerns about voter suppression is paranoia or are you saying that > Republicans trying to pass "voter fraud" bills are motivated by > paranoia? > > As for voter suppression: > > http://www.washingtonpost. com/opinions/vot> e-suppression-in-the-maryland-governors-race/2011/06/17/AGlvtYZH_story. > html > > http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo. > com/2010/12/former_house_candidate_convicted_of_lying_in_voter.php > > http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch5.htm > > And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. > Voter fraud?
