In 2013, North Carolina passed one of the worst pieces of voter suppression legislation in the nation.
Maybe because they are fine with no voter ID . Much easier to game the system .This is just so freaking ridiculous. Instead of working against mandatory ID for voting purposes, which without it elections are rife for exploitation, why are people not demanding access to ID for those that can't afford the fees?
Such a stupid argument against this and, of course, more hand wringing.
if they ever let the gays vote I'm gonna light myself on fire.
The BOOM.can't ruin my gayties weekend man...rock on 97.3.
*strikes a pose
Put the lighter down and meet me in the break room.
There's something I have to tell you.........

Voter fraud is only an issue when the wrong side wins.I Canada we need to show ID to vote, NO?? What's the Big Deal. You need ID to cash a check, drive, go to the bar..
The Dailykos hates America.
Da man is always out ta get ya!Two reasons. One is,just as you suspect, a chance to raise hell and get folks all upset and screaming.
The other is that there's more to getting ID than the fee. Travel costs. Administrative interference. Telling somebody who took a day off work (unpaid) that her birth certificate isn't legible, or fails to meet some other requirement designed to deny ID to "those people."
The U.S., and particularly the South, has long experience with the use of administrative pettifogging to deny members of certain groups the vote. Might wanna at least consider that maybe they have a point not so easily seen from Canada.
