You know what?
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever been able to explain to me how requiring an ID to vote is racist or causes voter suppression.
Lets just ignore the fact that its required by law for American citizens to have photo IDs on them at all times (even if they don't drive). Lets just forget about that.
I look at my life and I think of all the things I need an ID for: Buying a home, renting or buying a car, getting married, applying for a job, buying booze (I still get carded from time to time), buying cigarettes, or even just to drive, I need to have an ID on me in case I get pulled over. Many places require me to have TWO forms of identification just to prove that I am who I say I am.
So you're telling me that I need an ID for all of that and more, but not to vote? The one thing we have that we can use to keep the elected officials in check and we should be working to make sure everything in this process is on the up and up?
I hate to break it to ya, but asking my name and my address and checking my name off of a list in no way validates that I am who I say I am and it sounds super easy to cheat if I wanted to do so.
Are The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat black coded offensive stereotypes or something?
