Voter Suppression. (Why?!)

What gives with Republicans apparently seeking to suppresses voting?

Please, offer what you think are the best reasons for recent laws (enacted by many Republican state legislatures) which are known to disenfranchise (or will likely lead to disenfranchisement of) mass numbers of voters.

But the North Carolina legislature with a new united Republican legislature and governor, went further and passed the mother of all voter suppression bills. Aside from enacting a strict voter ID law like Texas’, the bill also cut a week off early voting in the state (used by up to 70 percent of African-American voters in 2012) and barred local election boards from keeping the polls open on the final Saturday before the election after 1 pm. It eliminated same-day voter registration. It opened up the precincts to “challengers” who can gum up the works at polling places and dissuade voters from showing up in the first place. It banned paying voter registration card circulators by the piece. It eliminated pre-registration of 16- and 17-year-olds in the high schools. And it said that a voter who votes in the wrong precinct (perhaps because of a poll worker’s error) will have her whole ballot thrown out—earlier law had allowed such ballots to count for those races in which the voter was eligible to vote.

 

How come you guys aren't ever concerned about Democrat support for voter fraud?

 

And WHY also the "racism" which accompanies such "suppression" laws?

Dead people have no right to vote.
Nonexistent people have no right to vote.
Ineligible (for legal reasons) people have no right to vote.
Nobody has a right to vote more than once.

 

Let's get going on that National ID (with computerized database), right now.

Any other solution than that, is discriminatory (racist) BS.

 

Every state offers a suitable ID program. Indiana's ID program takes about ten minutes and does not cost the voter a dime.

Nothing national needed.

Because there's not enough of it to make any difference at all by any stretch of the imagination. By that logic you have there, why don't we raise a question as to why electronic voting is being used and pushed by Republicans who have direct interest in it, such as Mitt's ties to financing them?

We could do this all day. In the end, it's just more BS from both mainstream sides to try and smear each other without addressing any real issues.

 

James O'Keefe walked into a polling place, pretended to be Eric Holder, and they handed him Holder's ballot. If you don't think that's a rather obvious problem, then I question your motives.

 

And when HOlder goes to vote...do you think that the fraud isn't exposed? You seem to forget they keep track of who's voted and who hasn't. My motives are nothing more than to really get to the reasoning of why there's any kind of discussion going on about this. If the person is dead, so what? Again, there's not enough of a direct influence of fraud to be of concern. Why is it just now a big deal?

 

There is no voter supression, you dumb ass. Blacks just need to follow the same rules everybody else has too. Most of them have all the damn time in the world to vote. What with welfare being a what, 6th generation economy. I don't see white welfare parasites whining about not being able to find their ass with either hand. Voter ID needs to be mandatory. No illegal aqua backs and koranimals allowed to vote.

Oh, and the "war on women?" That's a ******* thing.

 

150% of a precinct voted for ovomit.

 

And it no doubt would have been discovered once Holder voted.

Are you seriously suggesting that democrats are finding the names and voting places of republicans, then going and voting in their stead so those people can't vote? There seems to be absolutely no evidence of any such thing happening.

BUT FINE, ok lets go with the voter ID then happy? I'm fine with it.. (*)(*)(*)(*) it.

Now that I've given you voter ID.. please explain to me why they are restricting hours, removing pre-registration and same day registration and other likewise techniques? This has nothing to do with voter fraud and everything to do with making it harder for people to vote. You know I'm right but I wonder if you have the guts to admit.

The redistricting and the hours changes are so blatently transparent I wish someone just had a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing speck of honesty in them to say.. "Yes, we're trying to make it harder for our opponents to vote."

 

The problem with your OP is that it is supported with untruths, perpetuated by tyrants.

And don't ever forget... Voting means absolutely nothing in Amerika.

All Amerikan elections are fraudulent scams.

 

Ridiculous statement. Do you feel weak when you write sentences like that?

 

The obvious answer is that Republicans do not want students or minorities voting, so they are making it as difficult as they possible can on those groups. Crystal clear.

So difficult.

 

There is no way to know if Obama was really re-elected because there was so much voter fraud last time around. Are you satisfied to have dishonest elections like a third-world country or Communist Russia?

 

There is no way to know?

Of course there is. Why say something so stupid?

 

Sooooo.............. do you actually have an answer to my question? Or did you just feel the need to say something because I hurt your feelings?

 

Oh, that wasn't even necessary. Because it was deliberately brought to his attention to show him how easy it was. And he still didn't change his position. How do you reason with that kind of stubborn ignorance? This man holds one of the highest offices in the country, for crying out loud. He's not just some fool here on the forum. When the people running your country are that dense, what does that say?

 

You cannot hurt my feelings. I invite you to try.

Nobody "supports voter fraud". A person who believes that there are people who support voter fraud might just be an idiot. A person who does not believe that.....but says it anyway.....is just an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). Not a lot of good choices for you there, huh?

 

Worse than Ohio in 2000 where votes for Bush totaled MORE than the entire population in certain counties?

 

Actually Johnny that is BS. So is early voting. If you are too damn lazy to stand in line with the rest of us on election day you don't deserve to vote. If you are too damn stupid to make use of the absentee ballot you probably couldn't find your local precinct anyway. And both of those are true regardless of race creed or color.

 

You don't know what you're talking about.

It's time to improve things. I shared some of what I know and they aren't untruths.

 

Johnny I know precisely what I'm talking about. Early voting simply maximizes fraud. Places with early voting tend to have more precincts with more voters than they've got residents. And please No more of this crap about there not being any fraud. The problem with the current system is that fraud is all but impossibe to detect assuming the people running the polling sttion are trying to stop it rather than being active participants in it.
