We have a voter ID law here. And if you are an old, poor or lazy hoodrat type, you get a free ride to the DMV courtesy of the hood churches to get your free ID card. As long as you pledge to vote Dem.

If you are an old, poor rural type you are SOL regardless of what church you attend or what party you prefer.

And then the electronic ballots are all kinds of hosed up. Candidates missing on one machine, referendums missing from others...

Got to love our local politics... as long as you are the right level of uneducated mush mouth you can be elected. God forbid you are intelligent, can enunciate, know what grammar is...

Not clear on what you are asking... but...

The state itself estimates nearly a million voters will be impacted...
And,.. there are many clips of Republican politicians publicly saying this effort to suppress the vote will help Republicans get elected...
This admission is technically a crime... Intentional voter suppression is illegal.

Are you saying that this sudden rash of voter ID laws happening only in Repub controlled states, is nothing to do with voter suppression?...
Even though they have been caught on video saying it is?...

I'm asking a simple question.

Is it your contention that requiring photo ID in and of itself is evidence of discrimination?

is requiring a voter to produce a government issued ID a form of discrimination?

Greg; i was in PA last week and will be there again next week. funny, but i was surprised to see Korean housekeeping staff at a hotel in Allentown. Not sure I've seen that before.

Ill bet they have a Killer Taco PIzza..

To help me form an opinion, do the people that don't have a government ID receive any public welfare benefits? I just can't imagine so poor as to not have an ID, especially if they are going to give them away for "free". If they are that poor, they receive benefits. Which means they had to prove who they were to begin with so they have ID. My daughter didn't drive but I made sure she had a photo ID. I don't understand why this is an issue.

Your "simple" question is nothing more than an attempt at a "Gottcha" question...

You tell me?... Does that qualify as discrimination, by your definition?...

Seems like a fairly simple but important question. Your red flags are going up because I think you instinctively know there’s a problem with your position.

You tell me?... Does that qualify as discrimination, by your definition?...

Yes, but I also don’t concede discrimination is necessarily a bad thing, and neither do you.

You want to discriminate against high wage earners by changing a higher tax rate for example. Dozens of other examples come to mind where discrimination is acceptable and preferable.

The question then becomes is there a difference between disenfranchising and discrimination.

Before you answer that, you have to consider other laws for example.

First thing that comes to my mind is fair lending laws. Just try to get a home loan without photo identification. Employment laws; try to get a job with any type of security clearance without photo ID. It can’t be done.

So, do we need to tell business they cannot ask for photo ID when loaning $200,000 because this is a form of discrimination / disenfranchising?
