Racist!
You, sir, might be infected with white guilt. I would get that looked at if I were you.Sounds like a self hating racist black man to me...
It's true, I'm not black so I don't know if something is offensive or racist to a black person.
This should be a game-ender for anybody who says it burdens minorities because they tend to be lower income.
If there is a better way to prevent voter fraud I'd like to hear it.
The argument everyone makes against it is always a numbers game. That voter fraud is a tiny percent, while the number of people who don't have id's and won't be able to vote is far greater. It's the equivalent to disparate impact in employment discrimination.
Would you consider a 3/5's welfare law or some variant?
It's just yet another way that our society allows its citizens to play the victim card. It's ridiculous.
They are making IDs for free, so the argument is totally invalid.
Anyone else see how incredibly fucking stupid it is to let the Legislature draw the redistricting maps?
And I'm sure there's a good chance you'll also find alcohol and/or cigarettes in the home. The last time I checked, many states require a photo ID to purchase those as well.
My idea for redistricting is this: A grid system; evenly spaced vertical and horizontal lines down and across each state, and each district must have at least 3 right angles unless it is situated on a coast. You can't gerrymander shit with that structure.
I don't know what the answer is, but it isn't letting the party in power do it.
Well, here in Texas we like to play dirty politics so that is not going to work for us.
Problem is you'd have one district with a million people and another with a thousand.
I'm well aware of what the "problems" are with that strategy, but I don't consider it to be a problem.
