Lol. Trump will change that. Just send him the outrage and he will express it.

The White House Fact Sheet states that in advance of Kenya's March 2013 general elections, the Kenyan campaign - known as "My ID My Life" - helped 500,000 youth obtain national identification cards and carried out a successful nationwide campaign with Kenyan civic organizations to elicit peace pledges from all presidential aspirants.

But it's OK for state to discriminate against its citizen when comes to bearing arms?

Thank you for this non sequitur, but we are talking about voter laws in the US, not Kenya.

Firstly I doubt it was that many, in PA they tried comparing the voting rolls to who had a state issue ID and came up with some ridiculous number. By only comparing the state ID they excluded the invalid and fraudulent registrations, military ID, passports, college ID and old folks home ID.

Secondly they excluded themselves. There is no valid excuse for not obtaining a free ID.

Democrats need a hundred days of voting because their voters are to lazy to do it one Tuesday a year.

Early voting. Vote early. Vote often. Vote democrat.

Because that is the law in Kenya. If you want maybe Congress could try to create an amendment that requires everyone to have a federal photo ID to vote.
