Republicans once again making it hard for people to Vote

[ClosedCaption]

This is because some parent's absentee vote for their kids. I've seen it second hand. Not me but I know people who do this. And they are all democrats.

If the parents absentee vote, in addition to the kids voting at the college, it is a good way to defraud the elections.

Since fraud remains the primary campaign tactic of the left, I can see this happening a great deal.

ID keeps the dead and illegals from voting - stopping a major bloc of democrat voters - but ID won't help in this type of democrat fraud - assuming the kids are out of state for college.

And since Bush found that widespread voter fraud doesn't exist that means it really does...a lot

Yay Constitution!

You do know that when the Constitution was first adopted, women nor blacks could vote.

It wasn't until the 15th amendment that blacks could vote and the 19th amendment before women could vote.

So to suggest that an amendment requiring some kind of civics exam or political IQ test could not be added shows a hint of ignorance.

A poll tax of sorts?

No a test of sorts.

Which would be a poll tax

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poll_tax_(United_States)

In U.S. practice, a poll tax was used as a de facto or implicit pre-condition of the exercise of the ability to vote.

These laws, along with unfairly implemented literacy tests and extra-legal intimidation,[1] achieved the desired effect of disfranchising African-American and Native American voters, as well as poor whites.

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it...and since it's unlawful...that's also a problem as well.

The question no liberal can answer w/o destroying their opposition to the concept:
Without a photo ID, how do you positively verify that the person trying to cast a ballot is who he claims he is?

A Poll Tax means you have to pay something doesn't it?

The test I advocate for would be free and fairly implemented.

Ohh, hate site bullshit - how clever.

Bush found WHAT?

{Former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, who is black, said vote fraud is rampant in African-American districts like his in Alabama.

"The most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African-American community is the wholesale manufacture of ballots at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt," Mr. Davis said. "Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too mentally impaired to function cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights."

Laws requiring photo IDs suppress minority voting, Democrats charge. The facts say otherwise. In Georgia, black voter turnout for the midterm election in 2006 was 42.9 percent. After Georgia passed photo ID, black turnout in the 2010 midterm rose to 50.4 percent. Black turnout also rose in Indiana and Mississippi after photo IDs were required.}

{Law enforcement officials have charged 12 people with using absentee ballots to skew an election in Georgia.

“As a result of their grand jury findings, 12 individuals were indicted in that particular matter and we will be trying that case in a court of judicial law instead of a court of public opinion,” District Attorney Joe Mulholland told the local TV station, WALB.

{Minnesota Majority took the information to prosecutors across the state, many of whom showed no interest in pursuing it. But Minnesota law requires authorities to investigate such leads. And so far, Fund and von Spakovsky report, 177 people have been convicted -- not just accused, but convicted -- of voting fraudulently in the Senate race. Another 66 are awaiting trial. "The numbers aren't greater," the authors say, "because the standard for convicting someone of voter fraud in Minnesota is that they must have been both ineligible, and 'knowingly' voted unlawfully." The accused can get off by claiming not to have known they did anything wrong.

Still, that's a total of 243 people either convicted of voter fraud or awaiting trial in an election that was decided by 312 votes. With 1,099 examples identified by Minnesota Majority, and with evidence suggesting that felons, when they do vote, strongly favor Democrats, it doesn't require a leap to suggest there might one day be proof that Al Franken was elected on the strength of voter fraud.}

Fraud is the foundation of democrat elections. We all know it - you simply support fraud.

Are you saying a poll tax involved no money? Perhaps you should read your link again moron.

Oh state Senate.

Voter should be subject to background checks and show photo ID

We both know I could flood the board for weeks with examples. Fraud is the mainstay of the DNC machine.

democrats only engage in election fraud 100% of the time. The rest of the time, dims play by the rules.

No, what I'm doing is laughing at you thinking a poll tax means you have to pay something. Also, I'm laughing at you thinking that breaking the law is a good idea (poll tax) just because you wont charge people for breaking the law

That is exactly why the Dems are fighting it, because it stops the cheating.

Note that none of them have tried to answer it.

I don't see a problem with not allowing parents to claim their children if their children don't live with them. This isn't rocket science.

 

[LeftofLeft]

On the positive side, it's refreshing to see Republicans openly stating that the reason they want to suppress the vote is because it disagrees with their agenda.

SEE Military and 2000 Election. Democrats wanted to invalidate Military ballots from overseas on a postmark technicality. Why? Maybe because Democrats did their digging and found out that the troops did not support the Democrat agenda.

Pot, meet Kettle.
