What part of Republicans "don't want everybody to vote" don't you understand Brian? #VoterSupression

Brian said:
Is there any evidence that voter id laws suppress anybody's vote?
Is there any evidence that voter ID bills are written to hurt any group more than any other group?
Actually there is plenty of evidence Voter ID laws disenfranchise registered voters, but EYE want you to watch and listen carefully to this video so everyone knows what the plan IS.



What Yellowdog said:
I had to register to vote. Now I am on a list of eligible voters in my voting precinct/district. When I come up to the table, theres my name. I say "There I am." They mark me off - one name, one vote.
This is a sacred right to vote fought for by so many of our ancestors - and fought for us today. Finding ways to impede that simple process is denying fellow citizens the right to vote.

I imagine it is just a coincidence that minority Democratic voters are disproportionately targeted in this disenfranchisement. Even as prominent Republicans and conservatives say this is the purpose of requiring new identification to vote.
Even when you are registered and on the list right there, one name, one vote.
So I am denied my Constitutional right to vote because even though my name is right there, registered to vote, some Republican legislator decided I lose my vote cause I don't have the exact ID they want me to have? Or it expired yesterday? I'm obviously unqualified to vote as an American citizen because I don't have the same ID as you?
Our revered founding fathers believed only white male landholders had the "right to vote." I'm sure there are a lot of Republicans who long for the good old days.
"As the world's leading democracy, we must demand of ourselves what we demand of others -- a guaranteed right to vote for all." ~Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin

Throwback Thursday: It's voter fraud because Artur Davis say's it's voter fraud

On Voter ID Law- Outspoken AL State Rep Hides Behind Blue Dog Dem turned Republican.
Politics Nation's Al Sharpton did a good job of hitting Alabama State Rep. Kerry Rich for just that during an interview this Wednesday on MSNBC and with pushing back at the notion that invoking Davis justified the impact of the law and the fact that it is designed to do exactly one thing, and that's keep people from voting. As Sharpton noted during the interview, actual cases of voter fraud are virtually nonexistent, but that didn't keep Rich from insisting repeatedly that it was a problem. Of course there's voter fraud going on, because Artur Davis told me so. Pitiful. And these guys claim to be the party of "personal responsibility." Except of course they never want to take responsibility for anything they do. Either blame it on someone else, deny the facts and if that doesn't work, just make up your own alternate reality.
Alabama Republicans are totally delusional.
