No you didn't. The Republicans don't want them voting at all. Not just more then once, at all

Closing DMV's, thus making it harder to get an ID.
Closing precints so that the one left has to accomadate 9,000 voters in a state where 1,500 is the suggested limit. Also you have to walk a mile down a 40 mile an hour road with no sidewalks
Cutting down on early voting
Eliminating Sunday voting thus destroying "Souls to the Polls" which is practiced by many black churches
Making sure lines are 8 hours long, but only in Democratic areas

Anybody who tries to tell you that all these laws do is ask you show an ID is ****ing lying

There's gotta be a law or legal precident to clear this up. Spouting off "racism" is pretty worn out. Get some new material.

Oh there's precedent. You just need to go back to the 20s, 30s, 40s to find it.

Since there's no such thing as voter fraud in North Carolina, why don't you cons tell ME what it's about, if it's not about racism and restricting voters' rights among the Democrats' demographic?

Widespread voter fraud not an issue in NC, data shows

In 2012, nearly 7 million ballots were cast; of those, the state Board of Elections said 121 alleged cases of voter fraud were referred to the appropriate district attorney's office. (AP Photo/Kostas Tsironis)
RALEIGH, N.C. -
One of the more compelling arguments for voter identification is the suppression of voter fraud. But for North Carolina, the number of cases of voter fraud reported by the state Board of Elections is minimal.

In 2012, nearly 7 million ballots were cast in the general and two primary elections. Of those 6,947,317 ballots, the state Board of Elections said 121 alleged cases of voter fraud were referred to the appropriate district attorney's office.

That means of the nearly 7 million votes cast, voter fraud accounted for 0.00174 percent of the ballots.

Looking back at the 2010 election cycle -- which was not a presidential year -- 3.79 million ballots were cast and only 28 cases of voter fraud were turned over to the appropriate DA's office. So in 2010, voter fraud accounted for 0.000738 percent of ballots cast.

The state Board of Elections acknowledges that far more cases of voter fraud are reported each voting cycle. But the majority of those cases are deemed unfounded and never referred to the DA's office.

More facts:

Quote:
In November 2011, I telephoned the N.C. Board of Elections in Raleigh, requesting documentation on the number of suspected fraud cases in N.C. by year starting in 2000 through 2010. In response to my inquiry, I received a chart listing types of voter fraud, the number of cases referred to respective district attorney’s office by type for each year 2000 through 2010.

Additionally, the letter related “the State Board of Elections, to the greatest extent permitted by resources, investigates all allegations of voter fraud. Most allegations prove to be unfounded, lack criminal intent, or cannot be substantiated; however, we refer matters to the appropriate district attorney’s office for their consideration.” This is, incidentally, consistent with a five-year voter fraud study, 2000 through 2007, conducted by the US Department of Justice, President George W. Bush Administration.

Conclusion: There were 86 suspected fraud cases found out of 300 million votes cast. FACT: There is no substantiated evidence that voter fraud has compromised the integrity of our election process, state or national.

While McCrory referred to the law as a "safeguard" against voter fraud, there is scarce evidence of it in North Carolina. The state's Board of Elections has referred only two cases of alleged voter impersonation fraud since 2004 to prosecutors.

Why don't you tell ME why you think we are too dumb or or poor to get an id just because of the color of our skin? Oh yeah, that is right, it is the typical lefty racism, where you hate us because we are black, but tell us you are here to protect us, all while thinking we are beneath you

You people are so full of shi^
How can someone vote more than once if they already signed their name in the book?

What does ID have to do with voting more than once?

How often has this ever happened? It's a pretty serious felony, so people must be going to prison left and right for voting twice in Georgia.

Why don't you tell me why you support Republicans going back to the policies that MLK fought to end?
