Voter-ID may Discriminate

According to the Justice Department Voter-ID Laws may discriminate against minority voters. I agree as these laws make it difficult to register voters for anyone.

Who DIDN'T think that Voter-ID laws were a ploy by the Republicans to curb Democratic turnout?

GOD DAMMIT. I cannot believe someone is using my methods.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

We've already got a thread on this.
To those who feel, life is a tragedy. To those who think, it's a comedy.
