How much evidence do you need before you think it is a problem?
I think spurraider is having trouble distinguishing the difference between DNC rules for electing delegates and legislation passed by congress and signed into law by the executive.democrat voter laws have worked as intended, too

I don't. And on many topics I agree with boots. He is detrimental to his own cause. When the message comes from a zealot it's a waste of time.
Just a Fckn link and a brief summary including a short opinion. One or two selected quotes.
poor little pgardn, "bleeding from wherever"
The eyes.
The eyes from your large font run on articles.

Nice boots.
Very nice.
I genuinely think there is some amorphous movement on the party of the GOP to surpress Democratic turnout.
At this point, boutons is my id as well. I am just about as angry and fed-up with the right's bull as he is.
I just try to keep a more even keel. It is more interesting that way.
your even keel is as complicit with the right's bull as Hillary incrementalist overseeing the decline.I just try to keep a more even keel. It is more interesting that way.
The Repugs/Christian Taliban/VRWC are ing crazily destructive. You wag finger, trim your sails to that keel ever so even, when the radical we're in now demands a lot "over turning the moneychangers' tables" anger.
There ya go.
Take a cookie from the zealot extremist.

Federal Court Allows Ohio To Continue Purging Thousands Of Voters
Over the last five years, Ohio has purged about 2 million people from its rolls simply because they have not voted in the past three elections. It is one of just a handful of states that penalize people for not remaining active voters.
Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly know as the “motor voter law,” states can only remove voters from the rolls if they request the removal, die, or move out of state. The law also demands the procedure for purging voters be nondiscriminatory.
Yet a recently-released Reuters analysis found that far more Democrats than Republicans are being purged in Ohio’s most populous counties.
The investigation found that in Ohio’s major cities, including Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, voters have been removed from the rolls in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods at about twice the rate as in Republican neighborhoods. In some neighborhoods in Cincinnati with a high proportion of poor, African-American residents, as much as 10 percent of the voting population has been purged.
Because Democratic voters have lower turnout rates for mid-term, off-year elections, they are at greater risk of being purged. Counties that backed President Obama in 2008 have had far more residents kicked off the rolls than counties that backed John McCain.

Iowa high court upholds felony voting ban. Why is that unusual?
The Iowa Supreme Court voted 4-3 to uphold a system that would strip convicted felons of their right to vote unless it is restored by the governor, moving against a growing trend.
Iowa's Supreme Court made a move in the other direction on Thursday, upholding a law that would automatically strip felons of their right to vote for life unless it was restored by the state's governor.
The 4-3 decision would permanently disenfranchise thousands of former offenders. Democrats and civil-liberties advocates condemned the decision, while election officials said the court’s ruling was in line with Iowa’s Cons ution.

Appeals court says Texas voter ID law has ‘discriminatory effect’

Federal judge knocks a rough edge off Wisconsin's strict voter law, but devil is in the enforcement
In a 44-page ruling issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman extended voting rights to citizens of Wisconsin previously disenfranchised because they have had difficulty in acquiring the right kind of ID to meet state standards for casting a ballot. This will not affect the state’s August 9 primary, only the general election in November. Wisconsin’s voter ID law, passed in 2011, is one of the strictest in the nation.
Consequent to the ruling, voters without acceptable ID will still be able to cast ballots by signing an affidavit explaining why they couldn’t obtain ID. Then they will be given a provisional ballot.

Worth noting that this was one of the most conservative appeals courts in the US, per NPR's analyst.
Voter I.D. laws are something typically found in first world nations to prevent the integrity of the voting process from being undermined. We Banana Republic now.
yep, any court with Priscilla Owen is a politicized Repug cesspool.
That's why Repugs starts so much in TX becasue the legal appeals path goes through New Orleans.

Voter ID laws solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Do you think laws imposing costs on people should be passed to solve problems that don't exist?
Sadly, it happens all the time in Washington.
Everything that happens in your hated Washington is done by politicians paid to do it (not elected to do it). And guess who pays? yep, your donors, BigCorp, BigFinance.
The regulations imposing cost on business are typically initiated by unelected bureaucrats justifying their non-productive jobs by generating more and more unneeded rules and regulations so they can increase their bloated size monitoring the unneeded regulations.
nope, they are mostly to protect workers, to protect the environment, to prevent theft, fraud, abuses by you businessmen.
Sure.
In the case of voter ID laws, though, those are passed by states, and more specifically by Republicans at the state level, many of whom KNOW there is no problem.
The real reason these laws are passed is to reduce Democratic turnout. Can you admit to that? Or do you really want me to re-hash the evidence supporting that assertion?
Personally, if they are too lazy/stupid to get a picture ID I'm OK with them not voting.
