Please give me an example of someone who wanted to vote in the last, lets say 20 years, that was not able to do so. You know actual voter suppression. And I dont mean someone woke up and suddenly thought, I think I will vote in this election, oops, I'm not registered. Please, I'll wait.
This idea that voter ID laws are racist is nonsense. The idea that Blacks, for some reason, have a harder time getting an IDs is absurd. Likewise, the idea that a functioning adult can get by in today's world without an ID, and therefore not being able to vote, is also absurd.
Not a day goes by where I am not asked to show my ID for something. If you can find me an adult, of working age who is not a bumb, who does not have an ID, please let me know. I have a bunch of interesting questions I would like to ask him/her, such as how do you manage to function in today's society.
We've been through this already. At least twice. And you have a serious inability to see beyond your own experience, but that's sort of typical with you people. Me? When a whole slew of non-white people tell me that other people are making things hard for them, I tend to not assume they're lying for some nefarious reason.
Anyway, it's not "Blacks can't get IDs," you doofus. It's "Blacks are part of a wider demographic that are both less likely to have certain documentation or aren't as flexible with work schedules, transportation, and so forth, AND happen to vote Democrat, so if we make it harder for people to vote, Democrats will be harmed more than we will. Oh, and yeah, lots of those people are black."
Or just read what Republican campaign strategists like Carter Wrenn
say:
“Look, if African Americans voted overwhelmingly Republican, they would have kept early voting right where it was,” Wrenn said. “It wasn’t about discriminating against African Americans. They just ended up in the middle of it because they vote Democrat.”
Or what Dreed's Dakota senator (R) said above...
Of course, SOMETIMES it IS explicitly because they are targeting Black people. See the
state's argument in US Court of Appeals, 4th Circuit,
NCNAACB et al v. McCrory That's not some "woke" columnist -
that's the G**D**n STATE OF NC admitting under oath that they shuttered a day of voting because more black people voted that way/day.So look - if you want to argue that Republican voter suppression laws aren't "racist" but just happen to disproportionally impact not-white people, and that whole "voter fraud" thing is just a lie to give cover to anti-American bullshit, that's cool. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men and all that.
But if you can't even understand the basic issue (And it's not "They said 'the blacks' can't get IDs") despite innumerable Republicans admitting it in public and in court, you're literally either too stupid or too much of a zealot to be having this discussion with me.
