Eric Holder: Voter ID Laws Are 'Poll Taxes'

[Avatar4321]

Holder is and knows more then any criminal this high up in our governments history whatever he wants I'd die for to do the opposite

Today?

Salt, CONs always CLAIM they are willing to give their lives for this country, yet they resent paying any $$$$; odd priorities.

Not odd at all. People have no problem sacrificing themselves for their neighbors. That's called love. They don't, however, like getting robbed or watching their neighbors get robbed.

Holder should be in prison,he and our government are corrupt ....

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Holder is a ******* lying ********** who needs to turn himself in for his role in the murder of Brian Terry

Actually Peach, we "resent" your Communism/Marxism/Socialism, redistribution of wealth, anti-constitutional policies. I will pay taxes for constitutional items (such as defense) any day, with a smile on my face.

This is typical of the liberal - spin the facts and make up their own "reality".

Pennsylvanians will be required to show government-issued photo identification in order to cast votes in November, thanks to a GOP-supported voter ID law signed by Gov. Tom Corbett (R) earlier this year. While supporters argued that it was a simple measure meant to combat voter fraud, figures released this week show that the law may affect more than 750,000 Pennsylvanians who don't currently possess identification cards issued by the state Department of Transportation.

According to the report, which compared voter registration rolls with transportation department ID databases, more than 758,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania have no driver's license -- a primary form of identification. That's 9.2 percent of the state's 8.2 million voters, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. In Philadelphia, the state's biggest city, that number balloons to 18 percent of the city's total voting population -- around 186,830 registered voters, according to the newspaper.

HOUSTON -- Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday he opposes a new photo ID requirement in Texas elections because it would be harmful to minority voters.

In remarks to the NAACP in Houston, the attorney general said the Justice Department "will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious right."

Under the law passed in Texas, Holder said that "many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them – and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them."

"We call those poll taxes," Holder added spontaneously, drawing applause as he moved away from the original text of his speech with a reference to a fee used in some Southern states after slavery's abolition to disenfranchise black people.

"I will not allow that to happen," he added.

Get the ID's
People have known about this for a year now...
If you can't get the paperwork done in a year then
you don't get to vote....

It really is that simple

It's hard to understand how democrats get away with claiming that the color of a person's skin has a bearing on their ability to obtain a photo I.D. It's a profoundly insulting concept by a traditionally racist political party. It should be noted that Holder's handlers instruct reporters to produce a photo I.D. or they will be denied entrance to his speeches.

You believe this nation s a criminal conspiracy? I disagree. And sacrifice for one's neighbors includes blood but NOT money? Not a clear statement, though I do find your quotes from Brigham Young inspiring. LDS are an excellent example of faith based charity, and equality, regardless of wealth.

1. Get ID.

2. If you don't have ID, you don't vote.

It's that simple

I still have to disagree with this idea. Gwetting a state issued ID is something everyone should do. It is not just for voting, but for getting good jobs, getting prescriptions, getting a bank account, cashing checks, getting welfare and government benefits, identifying yourself, buying alcohol and tobacco products, and many other things. I do not see where the problem is in getting to the DMV and getting your state issued ID. Once you get it then no one can keep you from voting, and you can register to vote when you get it.

I also feel that given the number of places we require Id to be shown, and the minimal importance some of those have, we should probably have ID requirements on something like voting. I know some people who have worked the voting places in the US, and it is not uncommon for both parties to pick up poor and homeless people and drive them to iffy districts and have them vote. It is a big step in eliminating voter fraud on both sides to require a state issued photo ID to vote.

This whole idea of disenfranchising a group of people is a load of crap. If you did not care enough about your vote to go register and get your ID which is a simple process then maybe you should just stay at home and continue top be lazy that day. Just make the law that you need ID to vote, and every american citizen knows to get it so they can vote. If you want to help out the poor who find it hard to get a picture ID then waive the cost for them to do so. If you are already that poor you are probably getting aid from DSS anyway, so have the DSS issue a voucher for you to get a non-driver photo ID. You could even advertise this shit at the DSS office and get the information out to the poor people.

Let us get with the new millenium and get some ID requirements at the voting booth.

And I disagree. Because if you can make it just fine through life without having to jump through a hoop, then a piece of mail from a utility, with your name on it, should serve.

Holy SHIT!!! Is Hell having a blizzard?? We AGREE on something!!

2 words:

Absentee Ballot


Besides that, SS, SSI, and SSD all have to be paid through Direct Deposit these days.
That calls for a Checking Account which, in turn, requires ID to open.
Swipe your check card and you're going to be asked for ID. Write a check and you're going to be asked for ID.
Most States have incorporated Direct Deposit for their benefits, as well.

People have IDs.

Dry it up.

What you fail to see is that true charity is in fact love. Welfare is government sanctioned larceny.

When Edward and Mary Weidenbener went to vote in Indiana's primary in May, they didn't realize that state law required them to bring government photo IDs such as a driver's license or passport.
The husband and wife, both approaching 90 years old, had to use a temporary ballot that would be verified later, even though they knew the people working the polling site that day. Unaware that Indiana law obligated them to follow up with the county election board, the Weidenbeners ultimately had their votes rejected — news to them until informed recently by an Associated Press reporter.
Edward Weidenbener, a World War II veteran who had voted for Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential contest, said he was surprised by the rules and the consequences.
"A lot of people don't have a photo ID. They'll be automatically disenfranchised," he said.
As more states put in place strict voter ID rules, an AP review of temporary ballots from Indiana and Georgia, which first adopted the most stringent standards, found that more than 1,200 such votes were tossed during the 2008 general election.

The Associated Press: Many voters may be deterred by tough ID laws

 

[BDBoop]

And as I'm pretty sure everybody here knows - not everybody who is eligible to vote and may be disenfranchised is on SS, SSD or SSI.

In other words, there is not enough voter fraud to justify this shit.
