Stop it with these lies. I've been homeless before and lived in the ghetto and 90% of people in both situations had IDs. The only people that didn't were illegals and criminals running from the federal government. "Jim Crow Laws" dear lord liberals will believe anything the liberal media tells them too. Pretty soon there going to start talking about rain in racist and promotes white privilege , or something else crazy that makes no sense.
Do libraries and gas stations practice Jim Crowe too by not letting people rent books, use the PC, or buy smoked without an ID. If you don't like ID laws move to a country like Haiti where you don't need one for anything cause it's a hellhole.
Too late. They already listed hurricanes as racist.
Voter ID's (which is a more difficult task for poor people without their own transportation)
Making it more difficult to get voter ID's in minority areas (less locations and hours)
Reducing early voting via reduction of polling places and hours in minority areas
Reduction of election day polling places in minority areas
Purging of voting rolls through caging list process
These are but a few examples.
I don't see ANY SPECIFICS, just the same old talking points.
There ar more poor whites then poor blacks.
There are more poor whites who live in "isolated" areas then blacks, etc.etc.etc. so, how does it affect blacks LESS then whites?
Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled legislature:
Cut the early-voting window from 30 days to 12 Eliminated night and weekend voting, banned straight-ticket voting
Made it more difficult both to register to vote and to cast an absentee ballot
Tightened residency requirements.
WI DMV rejected nearly a fifth of all applicants for a voter ID, 85 percent of whom were African American, Latino, or Native American
Disbanded the widely respected nonpartisan agency that oversees state elections and was supposed to educate the public about the voter-ID law.
In fact, strict voter ID requirements are just republican code-words for suppressing votes by minority-groups, that would be predominantly for democrats. The fake news sources seem to have feeding tubes into the brains of those who keep harping on the myths of illegal aliens and felons voting. The support for republican policies and values has been declining for decades, but they have been desperately struggling to pull any underhanded tricks they can, to extend the time until their inevitable demise. We need a strong opposition party to keep our nation functional, so what will take their place? Their supporters are such fools as to think they would benefit if the democratic opposition was destroyed.
"In fact, strict voter ID requirements are just republican code-words for suppressing votes by minority-groups,"
"In fact"? Really?
Why do you think minority groups are too STUPID to get a photo ID?
"The support for republican policies and values has been declining for decades,"
You need to catch up with the 21st century.
The repubs have GAINED over 900 POLITICAL SEATS since the dem took the House in 2007.
"to make voting more difficult for certain people"
How does making a photo ID "difficult" for ""some people and not ALL people?
Young people such as 18, 19 that don't drive yet and don't have utility bill in their name because they live with parents or roommates. They might not be able to get a photo id because 1) they don't drive and don't have anyone to take them there, especially if they are poor and their parent(s) don't have cars. 2) if their state requires a utility bill in their name to get a photo id, they don't have this. So it's proportionately tougher on young people in this case.
very poor people that live with someone else and don't have a utility bill in their name. Maybe they are so poor that they don't work and they don't have a paystub in their name so cannot get a government issued id. Such as a lady that lives with her husband and they rent a room somewhere and the husband works but wife doesn't although she is looking for work. She cannot get a government photo id such as drivers license because her state requires either a paystub with current address as proof, or a utility bill at current address. This lady has neither so she cannot get a photo id, so cannot vote. Yep - some people are that poor that they live with other and don't have ulitities in their name.
In some states such as FL, divorced/married women that changed their last name must have divorce agreement and marriage license for all prior name changes in order to get a drivers license or state issued ID. If they don't have ALL of this, plus birth certificate this means they get sent away when they attempt to get their state ID and they have to contact the city or county where they were divorced/married and formally request a sealed copy of their divorce decree or marriage license - and pay a fee for it in most cases. Some women, especially elderly or poor, delay getting their ID or just don't get it at all due to the extra steps required. Someone poor might have to wait to save $80 to get the records and someone elderly might skip the step alltogether because they no longer drive so don't need a drivers license anyway.
Very poor, elderly and young often don't drive so they need a ride (or taxi or bus) to get to the county office to attempt to get a photo ID. Some delay it because they go to school or work and don't have time off to get the ID. because they don't drive, it's a several hour affair because of taking the bus or waiting for a friend to drive them when the friend has the spare time. So they delay getting their ID or maybe never get their ID. If they don't drive and don't work(such as an 85 year old) it might not impact them in their daily life to be without a drivers license. But they cannot vote either.
