You have won the Internet for at least a day, if not a month.

Outstanding post -- I think I am going to forward it on to my congresscritters here in NC!

The reason Liberals don't like them is because some people are too lazy to go down and get a free ID in order to be able to vote, so they don't go and get them and they don't go vote. That of course eliminates a large portion of Dem voters....

If you don't care enough to go and get an ID you don't deserve to vote imo.....

The reason they call it racist is because the voters it mainly eliminates is black voters..... hey, if the shoe fits.....

It's not racist it's just a fact.

If you want to use the characterization often used by Liberals that Republicans are bunch of redneck hicks you could argue it's them being disenfranchised because they don't have easy access to public transportation.

??? My issue is not laziness, it's money. And I mostly vote Republican.

It's not racist, it's classist, but race iis a protected class and class isn't a protected class.

Non-white men, 1870 — Right to vote - Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Women, 1920 - right to vote - Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Apartheid ended in 1994, Black have right to vote

Black men and other non-white men in the US have had the right to vote in the U.S. longer than woman, longer than Blacks in South Africa yet blacks still claim they are disenfranchised?

LOL, you vote mostly Republican. uh huh, you picking up Obama's trait... lying?

Ok so now we need a law that says if you are low class... Guess what, low class gets lots of breaks called welfare, subsidies, now Obamacare and more. Maybe your right, middle class needs to be a protected class because the low class keeps taking from them. They need protected from the low class sucking them dry. Wait, you already sucked the life out of them so now you are going after the upper class.

It's not the voter ID that's racist it's the intent behind it

The whole thing is aimed at Democratic voters, Democratic districts, and is designed to make it harder to vote. This is why we have 8 hour lines. It's why students at a liberal college in North Carolina are being told that college students aren't residents and so can't vote but the students at the conservative college are being left alone.

What exactly is this malice intent you speak of? Having black people, poor people, lazy people, etc being required to go and get a FREE id card isn't suppressing the vote, it isn't keeping black people from voting or any of that nonsense. Black people, other minorities, lazy people, poor people are all able to go and get the ID and if they choose not to, oh well.
