South Carolina: FREE rides, paid by gov't, to get ID to vote; Only 25 bothered.

How are these people collecting welfare without government ID and qualifying themselves for the benefit?

If we arent qualifying people for social entitlemets the progams must end now, and if we are making them identifiy themselves to get benefits then they should be able to show it to vote.

Dont be silly dude. If we demanded ID for welfare, SS, food stamps, how would the dead people collect it? Are you racist against dead people?????

Update: 25 To Get Free Photo ID Rides From South Carolina | WSPA

So Obama and libtards are suing SC, again, this time for it's law that brutally requires, GASP, a person to show an ID when voting.

Whiners and career-victims immediately cried foul, and said it was discriminatory. They said plenty of the 81,000 SC voters who didn't have ID's could not get them because they had no way of getting to the DMV.

SO.....SC's government provided FREE transportation, pickup, etc, for anyone wanting a gov't issued ID card. Yep. Just let SC gov't know, and you'll be picked up, taken to the DMV, get your ID, and the horrors of discrimination against you, well......ENDS!! HOORAY!! You have an ID.

Of the 81,000 in SC, quoted by lefties as the # of voters without ID, how many took SC on it's offer to provide a free ride to get that precious ID card, to end their plight? Well.....25. Yep. 25.

People who bitch about not having an ID are incompetent and lazy. If they live in this society that provides SO MUCH to it's people, yet, they can't pull their own damn weight, literally, to the edge of their driveway for a free ride to get an ID to vote......then they shouldn't be fucking voting anyway. Too stupid. Too lazy.

You do realize that we are 9 months away from the election, right?

So, you're saying they have plenty of time, which is what many of us said. So, why is it a big deal to have eight entire months to complete one task? No matter how much time we give them, some will still whine when Obama loses and will claim that we didn't do enough for them.

Unfortunately, even with ID laws, Obama will win again. Combine mediocre GOP candidates with the morons of the left. Never underestimate the stupidity of the left wing voter.

Obama beat McCain by only 172K votes, or about only 7% of registered voters.

Apparently, bode's disdain of red states tells her that there are no Democrats in SC at all.

93-Year-Old Tennessee Woman Who Cleaned State Capitol For 30 Years Denied Voter ID

By Marie Diamond on Dec 26, 2011

A 93-year-old Tennessee woman who cleaned the state Capitol for 30 years, including the governor’s office, says she won’t be able to vote for the first time in decades after being told this week that her old state ID failed to meet new voter ID regulations.

Thelma Mitchell was even accused of being an undocumented immigrant because she couldn’t produce a birth certificate:

Mitchell, who was delivered by a midwife in Alabama in 1918, has never had a birth certificate. But when she told that to a drivers’ license clerk, he suggested she might be an illegal immigrant.

Thelma Mitchell told WSMV-TV that she went to a state drivers’ license center last week after being told that her old state ID from her cleaning job would not meet new regulations for voter identification.

A spokesman for the House Republican Caucus insisted that Mitchell was given bad information and should’ve been allowed to vote, even with an expired state ID. But even if that’s the case, her ordeal illustrates the inevitable disenfranchisements that result when confusing voting laws enable state officials to apply the law inconsistently.

The incident is the just latest in a series of reports of senior citizens being denied their constitutional right to vote under restrictive new voter ID laws pushed by Republican governors and legislatures. These laws are a transparent attempt to target Democrat constituencies who are less likely to have photo ID’s, and disproportionately affect seniors, college students, the poor and minorities.

As ThinkProgress reported, one 96-year-old Tennessee woman was denied a voter ID because she didn’t have her marriage license. Another senior citizen in Tennessee, 91-year-old Virginia Lasater, couldn’t get the ID she needed to vote because she wasn’t able to stand in a long line at the DMV. A Tennessee agency even told a 86-year-old World War II veteran that he had to pay an unconstitutional poll tax if he wanted to obtain an ID.
