Yes, you can. You can ignore it as it has nothing to do with deciding on the integrity of the bill. The bill does not ask for racial clarity, where as I read of it. And it does not say if you're black you can not vote.

I have already stated the facts behind this decision but you keep going back to "the Bill is just" so the supreme court and I will just have to disagree.


You're right about one thing, we are done, I rest my case.

Yes, because every one knows that a minority class that would vote Republican all carry proper photo ID.

You never had a case, because you never did the homework ...

Why would a citizen be unwilling to provide proof of citizenship to vote?

Like I said... what we're debating is how much illegal voting is acceptable? Zero? Or more than that?

So you're saying that even though the people in these articles were caught and charged with crimes, we still need an ID law? How did they get caught if they weren't required to show ID at the time?

Yeah but I asked you a question. Would it be acceptable to you if some citizens were denied their vote as a result of these laws?

You didn't answer the question. Would you be okay with some citizens losing their vote as a result of this? A simple yes or no will do.

Why would they be? One can prove one is a citizen by various different means.
