As one form that could be used, but not the only one.
Not one bill stated...only a b/c can be used.

The truth is that the democrats see themselves as losing in the coming midterms...they expect black turnout to be low, so they are race baiting and lashing out against Voter ID bills in a frustrated panic.

When you got your driver's license, did you have to prove who you are? And how did you do that?

What do you think I tried to do?

Going overboard mischaracterizing what people say hardly serves your cause.

So the next time Democrats do it I expect to see you front and center.

But this wasn't a mischaracterization. The Voter ID laws was indeed passed to stop one type of voter fraud, and the Dems insane fight against Voter ID leads some to believe that Dems believe voter fraud helps them.

That would be the usual VOTER FRAUD which is so infinitesimal in actual documented cases that it is hardly a blip on the screen.

If it ain't broke don't fix it... especially when we have on record the real reason for the change from Mike Turzai.

I was having a bad day already when I got word that my grandmother, a lifelong Republican, was planning on voting Democrat this election cycle. I immediately went to her grave to try and talk her out of it..

We do. When we have evidence we have laws that deal with that and they can be tried for the offense.

How do you "know it"? Where is your evidence of voter fraud?

Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Or will it be excused away again?


First case of voter fraud confirmed in Rio Arriba Co. | KOB.com

First case of voter fraud confirmed in Rio Arriba Co.

The first case of voter fraud in New Mexico this election has been confirmed by the Rio Arriba County Clerk's Office.

According to the Rio Arriba County Clerk's office, a voter trying to cast an early ballot in Espanola Saturday was told he had already voted three days prior.

The man told poll workers he hadn't voted. He was then shown the signature of the voter, but he says it wasn't his signature.

Officials say they were able to confirm that the signature on the original ballot did not match the legal voter's signature on file.​

It's not like a car engine, you won't know when it's broken unless you monitor it constantly. Your argument is like arguing against mammograms because most come back negative.

Good afternoon rcart,

The bolded part above, from your comment, is neither what I said nor what I meant. I don't deny racism exists although in my life, here in Canada, I've very rarely seen it in practice - perhaps that's unique to Toronto or unique to my experience - or perhaps if you don't go looking for racism it generally won't find you.

What I did say, fairly clearly, is that as long as Democrats and the left use racism as a tool in politics and public discourse, racism will always exist. Do you deny that Democrats and the left use racism as a weapon? Do you deny that whenever someone on the right legitimately talks about issues related to black youth and violence they are immediately painted as racists by Democrats and the left?

I can't nor would I discount your own personal life experiences - that would be wrong. But that doesn't discount the point I was trying to make.

Good morning CJ

I understand what you are saying, Democrats do go to the racism toolbox too many times to demonize the right. However, republicans play race card too many time as well in the form of "The big black boogie man".

For example:

How many stories did fox have about the "knock out game" ? What do you think was the sole purpose of airing this story? was it to bridge racial division? They made it look like a epidemic even though the average white person in America has not even encounter such of act nor do they know anyone who has.

What about Rush Limbaugh? He told his listeners that Obama's America is black kids beating white kids.

How about Glen Beck? He told his listeners that Obama has a deep seeded hatred for white people.

The list goes on and on.

Its okay to criticize. But understand what the problem is before addressing it. You can't diagnose the problems about a car withour going under the hood. Most of the black knowledge comes from the media. And I don't care what Fox news say. The media has never been a friend of black people.

Got a news flash for you. Did you know that majority of blacks don't even like Al Sharpton? But if you look at the news, you would think that we worship him. Don't take my word for it. Ask the average black person what do they think about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

We don't need the democrats to tells us who we feel are against us. The right does a great doing that on their own. Screwing around with the way we go out and vote is another good example. Let put politics on the side for a second. We all know the true reason why republicans are so interested in implementing this "voter laws" all of a sudden.

Looks like the system worked perfectly and there was no fraud committed....... perhaps attempted ..... but the system protected itself with its normal precautions.

It is monitored constantly. I am 65 years old and have been voting for over four decades now and every time I vote it is constantly monitored.

All of the sudden? This argument of voter fraud has been ongoing even since I started voting, even further back than that.
