How is it racist if the same rules apply to everyone regardless of race?
It's not racist but the justice department has evidence that this is just not the case and one of the witness who is a republican chairman gave written statement to the in-justice of the rule. You speak of rules but have no trust in our justice department?
Let me give you the scenario in my home state. When I go vote, the polling judge asks for my name and address, no id. Now I know my next door neighbors name and address. I can vote in his place and no one would ever know. I could just go to the polling station, give the judge his name and address and I'm voting in his place. When he goes to the poll to vote, they tell him he's already voted and there's nothing he can do about it. It's that easy.
In my state we have voter Reg cards.we have use them before I was born and haven't had a issue. Your state don't have voters reg cards?
We do and I've never had to show it to vote
Well maybe they should so they can stop being a strain on the government and the people there.
strain?
Why yea ! Strain !The state pay people with your tax dollars to work at the DMV to reprocess your ID just so you can vote when you can use the already in hand voters reg card. Isn't that what the GOP cry about since Obama's election, government spending?
Most people at a DMV are there for licensing issues therefore there's no strain
That's not true. I have friends that work for state police and the dmv here and every last one of them will tell that it is added work when already have a voters Reg card to show as ID to vote.And it also cost a fee to the public.
There is one state where the judge has rule this un-constitutional and the governor dis-miss the ruling.
This un-constitutional law hasn't prevent any fraud or save any lives.All it's going to do is make it harder for folks that have the right to vote.
You're Lying bro.What governor can just ignore a court ruling? Come on son. Blatent lies won't help your bogus cause
I wouldn't lie to you sweet kenny kenny,slow walking sunday ! The governor dismiss it and then found a judge to up held the new law and now they are going back and forth and right now it's held up until after the election.

I wonder why not one of the republican supporters and backers of voter suppression from UTB, Black Republican and all the other fake names will comment about this story of a former Republican chair in Florida who admitted that voter suppression was going on and it was entirely racist as they hoped to stop black voters from voting.

WE NEED TO START WORKING WITH OUR DEMOCRATIC OFFICES NOW TO ENSURE WE ARE NOT DENIED THE VOTE IN NOVEMBER.

Early Voting Restrictions Could Hurt Over Half of Ohio’s African Americans, Says Ministers’ Group
Members of the African American Ministers Leadership Council (AAMLC), a program of People For the American Way Foundation, spoke out today against efforts to restrict early voting opportunities in four Ohio counties that are home to 56 percent of the state’s African American population.

"Jim Crow is alive in the 21st century and evident in the struggles we still face for equal access to the ballot box," said Rev. Dr. Tony Minor of Cleveland, Ohio. "There are politicians doing the unthinkable: they are making it harder for their constituents to exercise our constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. And once again, these suppression efforts are aimed directly at African Americans in swing states.”

Officials in four Ohio counties -- Cuyahoga, Franklin, Summit and Lucas -- are set to deny night and weekend early voting to their citizens. Those four counties are home to some of Ohio’s largest cities and over half its African American population. The state has already ended early voting for most residents in the final three days before the election. Last year, nearly 20 percent of early voters in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties went to the polls during that final time period.

The African American Ministers Leadership Council, founded in 1997, has been working nationwide to help bring African Americans to the polls in every election, most recently through the newly-launched non-partisan “I Am A VESSEL and I Vote!” program. The new early voting restrictions in Ohio are a setback to efforts to increase turnout and ensure that every vote counts.

"These efforts are intended to discourage and distract voters in the state of Ohio, but they will not succeed,” added Rev. Minor. “We have strengthened our efforts to educate our congregations and our communities about their rights and their civic responsibilities. Believe me, no matter how hard they try to stop us, we will fight back against these restrictions and we will show up at the polls and vote."

That is not the point Ken. The new rules about voting from early voting, postal voting, voting until midnight, voters who are abroad are not in the constitution but why are Republicans applying new rules to voting in predominantly Black, Latino and Democratic wards.

That is the point. If you want to bring up an early voting issue as a disenfranchisement issue, you fail miserably. Early voting isn't mentioned in the constitution so you're not disenfranchised if you can't vote early. I work a 10 hour day and still get to the polls on election day, or sometimes I go before work. Epic Fail!!!! Bro. No one can keep me from voting

Again you have missed the point Ken. The issue that is being made in Ohio and Florida is WHY have Republican officials only put attempts to limit early voting and voter ID laws in mostly black and Latino wards that vote heavily Democrat.
That is the point that is being made.
