NC GOP official resigns after giving voter ID sentiments in interview

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Conservative activist Don Yelton has stepped down from his position as Republican precinct chairman of Buncombe County, N.C., following controversial comments that aired Wednesday on the Daily Show.

The remarks were made during an interview with Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi, during which Mandvi and Yelton discussed efforts to pass new voter identification requirements into in North Carolina, a requirement that many critics argue will subdue voter turnout in the state.

“The law is going to kick the Democrats in the butt,” Yelton said. “If it hurts a bunch of college kids [that are] too lazy to get up off their bohonkas and go get a photo ID, so be it. If it hurts a bunch of whites, so be it.”

Yelton also made a series of racially incendiary remarks to Mandvi as they discussed the law.

“If it hurts a bunch of lazy blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it,” Yelton added.

People that say it is about fraud should punch themselves in the face.

Daily Show's very talented, funny News Team really is a huge component of the show's success, just like Ron Burgundy's Channel 4 News Team.

Since there has never been 'massive voter fraud' it's clear that the intent is making it harder to vote... I think it's a great message for the GOP .... they have become the party who makes it harder to vote.. great job..

Wonder what his black best friend thinks about all of this.

6 Other Times Republicans Admitted Voting Restrictions Are Just About Disenfranchising Democrats


“I think we had a better election,” Pennsylvania’s GOP chairman Rob Gleason said in July (http://www.nationalmemo.com/pennsylvania-gop-chief-admits-voter-id-laws-suppressed-democratic-vote-in-2012/). “Think about this: We cut Obama by 5 percent…I think Voter ID helped a bit in that.”

Texas’ Republican attorney general and candidate for governor Greg Abbott doesn’t believe Texas’ redistricting (http://www.businessinsider.com/texas-responds-to-eric-holders-lawsuit-2013-8#ixzz2ilBTZrZL) discriminates against minorities. ... their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats

“Stop Obama’s nutty agenda and support voter ID,” read a card attached to a pack of peanuts passed out by the state’s GOP, state Rep. Alan Clemmons (R-Myrtle Beach)


“The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama’s national field director admitted, shortly before last year’s election, that ‘early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.’
“The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats’ get-out-the-vote campaign.”


She went on to say that early voting results in “illegal votes” that “cancel out the votes of honest Americans.” In her mind, “Democratic” automatically equals “illegal.”

Franklin County (Columbus) GOP Chair Doug Preisse gave a surprisingly blunt answer to the Columbus Dispatch (http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/08/19/fight-over-poll-hours-isnt-just-political.html) on Sunday: “I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban—read African-American—voter-turnout machine.”

Richard Posner — the Reagan-appointed federal judge who wrote the influential decision that ruled Indiana’s voter ID law constitutional in 2007 — now believes that he “absolutely” he got that case wrong.


Posner told Huffington Post Live that (http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/10/judge-my-key-voter-id-ruling-was-wrong-174890.html)“the problem is that there hadn’t been that much activity with voter identification. Maybe we should have been more imaginative…”he said, echoing comments on the case he made in his new book (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/23/why-judge-posner-is-right-on-voter-id-laws.html). “We weren’t really given strong indications that requiring additional voter identification would actually disfranchise people entitled to vote.”

They did a poll recently and like over 40% of conservatives think ACORN stole the 2012 election when ACORN wasn't even around in 2012 :lol

So in a roundabout way, you're admitting a large bloc of Democrat voters are made up of lazy ass leeches. Thanks.

In a direct and obvious way, I posted what the guy said and conflated that with the party he was representing on TV. At no point did I agree with anything that he said much less his characterizations.

That you need to come up with excuses to justify the disenfranchisement of US citizens is all I see here much like all I can see with the GOP staffer.
