More to do with simple economics than anything to do with race. Are you all the idiot you pretend to be? Have you no shame????????

you sure post like Legion.....so tell me, what is it about "simple economics" that makes it likely 25% of blacks would be disenfranchised by requiring voter ID?.....even if most states didn't provide them free, are you saying 25% of blacks can't afford a $25 ID card?......

Simply put, we never have needed voter ID cards and we don't need them now. This is a admitted ploy by cynical rightwingers to make voting for the disenfranchised more difficult. End of story.

You honestly believe that 25% of African Americans cannot afford a free ID? What is wrong with you?

Requiering Any money to register to vote is called a "Poll tax" Poll taxes are by nature raceist. and they have be declared unconstitutional for a long time now.

Stop crying and get yourself an ID, you big ole baby. :D

it is not the cost so much as the need to take time off from work

after all, when you work more than one job to make ends meet, it is hard to take time off
 
So when the NAACP wanted two forms of ID to get into their little party were they disenfranchising blacks? I mean if 25% of blacks don't have ID like the libtardiots complain, there is so much of our society that they aren't participating in like:

Check cashing
Buying alcohol
Flying on an airplane
Buying cigarettes
Get married
Apply for food stamps
Apply for medicaid
Apply for unemployment
Get a mortgage
Open a bank account
Apply for welfare
Get a job
Register for college

Yep, it seems like we have a national crises of coloreds being disenfranchised and not being able to do all of these things. Oh the humanity
 
Yes. Those disenfranchising them are racist. Ever hear of Jim Crow laws?

So... none of these people can do the following...

Driver's license
Buy alcohol
Buy cigarettes
Apply for welfare
Apply for food stamps
Cash a check
Purchase a firearm
Open a bank account
Rent an apartment
Be admitted to a hospital
Get a marriage license

All of which require a photo ID... most of them require that photo ID to be government issued. So why not just get these 25% an ID. Get it done so that they can do all of the above and also strengthen the voting security. Year after year we hear about how hard it is to get these people ID's... let's just get it done. Obviously they are not working given that you need an ID to get a job these days. So they have the time. Now all we need is to get them the transportation. With the exception of rural areas, that shouldn't be hard given the public transportation available in most larger cities. Given that a majority of the poor live in inner cities, surely we can accomplish this.
