Artur Davis, this post is for Y-O-U!


The Attack on Voting Rights Isn’t Racist—Just Ask Artur Davis

25% of Black folks Don't Have ID...and it's not because they are lazy..it's because they are black, old, and or poor. Republicans know they can't win elections fair and square, so they have to steal them fair and square.

Read all about the 96-year-old African American woman who can't vote because she can't produce her marriage license in the red, Confederate, Slave, state of Tennessee.

Read all about how threatening letters blanket black neighborhoods warning that creditors and police officers will check would-be voters at the polls, or that elections are taking place on a wrong day.

What part of Voter ID is a Poll Tax by another name don't you and your republican pals understand?

Who is going to pay for the cost of the Voter ID? We the people? I thought Republicans wanted to cut federal spending?

Why is it everybody but you and your republican pals can see the ugly parallels between Jim Crow and modern voter suppression laws? Or is it that you don't want to see the ugly parallels?

Blaming lack of voter ID on skin color. The soft bigotry of low expectations. In this country, a valid ID is required to buy cigarettes and alcohol, to get a library card, pick up prescriptions at pharmacies, to open a bank account, purchase and drive a car, get married, apply for a job, buy a home, and apply for loans. I have to show ID for every one of those transactions.
Voter fraud, in the effort to get Obamessiah into office, was rampant to the point of absurdity. ACORN was the worst offender, and it was abetted by Dem politicians who cleared a path for its illegal activities. Dead people, illegals, bribery, and faked names were a staple of ACORN’s voter registrations.
Voter suppression my ass. It's nothing less than pandering based on the color preference of race-baiting lefttards. Nice try, no dice.
