World War II veteran not allowed to vote

[paulitician]

Yeah, like you Socialists/Progressives really care about our Veterans. Sorry, not buying your faux outrage.

The purpose of these Republican voter ID laws is to suppress the black vote....

According to a 2005 study by UW Milwaukee Driver License Status of Voting Age Population those without state-issued photo ID who would need to obtain one to vote include:

■23% of elderly Wisconsinites over the age of 65
■17% of white men and women
■55% of African American males and 49% of African American women
■46% of Hispanic men and 59% of Hispanic women
■78% of African American males age 18-24 and 66% of African American women age 18-24

"WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS?" Provisional ballots can be cast in Florida; much more complex than if one has their "papers in order". This began BEFORE Bush II was President.

he wasn't denied anything.

he chose not to take a provisional ballot.

choices, like elections, have consequences.

Perhaps we should have taken a more provisional stance on the Nazis, but lets marginalized a brave soldier who prevented us from speaking German.

How was he marginalized?

He was offered a ballot.

Ohio? The state where you can register with an address of "Park bench"?

That's what you fucking criminal vote fraud Democrats are complaining about?

Carroll said he was offered a provisional ballot, but that "the print looked very small, I didn't have my glasses and I was kind of perturbed by then."

Lyon said sometimes voters, especially elderly, don't trust the provisional ballot "because they think it’s not going to count,”


"But even though it wouldn’t have been counted tonight, it would have become part of the official vote totals," she said.

Carroll and Lyon later talked by telephone and he said he was assured he’d be sent a mail-in ballot for the Nov. 6 general election.

But his wife, Dee, who didn’t go to the polls today, still wasn’t pleased.

“I’m kinda glad I wasn’t there,” she said. “I would have really been incensed – he’s a veteran! I probably would have got on the phone right away and called the mayor or somebody.”

Sounds like allot of miscommunication. Why could he not have gotten help with the Provisional Ballot? Why did he leave the house without his glasses? You have to stretch pretty far to make this an issue. Sounds like it could have been easily worked out.

So... he let both Id's expire and forgot his glasses... yes, clear evidence of the evil intent to keep people from voting.

You really are dumb Chris.. especially for a guy who claims to be 58+ years old.
