No Democrats say using voter ID to suppress disadvantaged voters based on race is racist...

Oh for God's sake now you are really stooping to a new low now and getting even more ridiculous by the minute. At some point in the past few years it was discovered that non-citizens were voting. What the hell does that have to do with what race the president is? Obama is half white by the way.

If someone lacks the motivation to pay 15 dollars, to replace something they lost and need, then why should they vote? Have you heard of personal responsibility?
Because you are supposed to be able to vote free of charge! How many times does this have to be repeated?

Some point in the past few years? There have been allegations of vote fraud for the past few centuries! Why is it such a big deal now?

Relax, John McCain, stolen elections are as American as apple pie. - Slate Magazine

"Rampant voter fraud existed in the Colonial era, when voting was generally limited to white, property-owning men. To swing local elections, Campbell writes, corrupt campaigns would arrange for the landless to gain title to property in return for their vote, after which the land would be returned. The purchasing of votes was so popular in Rhode Island that the practice became known as "Rhode Islandism." "

Voter ID laws go beyond requiring photo ID, since only specific forms of photo ID are acceptable, and even some forms of government-issued photo ID are not accepted.

Nobody has ever questionsed the government-issued photo ID I present, but that's not good enough in voter ID states.

Its on page 14 of the PDF.

My photo ID is good enough to cash my paycheck, write a check and enter the MASSMUTUAL CENTER, but not good enough to vote.

Your point is what?

Like voter I.D. laws.

I have proof but it's not good enough in voter ID states.

What's wrong with this picture?

Actually yes they were. The debate goes back well before 2008. It was often discussed here in Washington state around 2004 when we had a gubernatorial election that was decided by 129 votes.

It` probably been discussed before but what hasn`t? Perhaps it`s not abourt race but more about fascists and the desire for one party rule. Anyway,how about a link about proposed voter ID laws proposed before Obama was elected?
