Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21/font1Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21/font1Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21I think the reason that we can't get record turn outs is that the Republican Party has dedicated itself to suppressing the vote. b, 21b, 21Case in point is the recently passed voter bill that requires id for new voters, but not for existing voters. How is it even constitutional that some people have a higher burden to vote than others?b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21h, 21
b, 21b, 21That's unbelievable....they actually are making new voters show a form of ID!!b, 21b, 21But people who have voted and shown their ID in the past don't have to!!b, 21b, 21And those new voters who show ID this year won't have to again in 4 years.b, 21b, 21What the hell is happening to our country!!! b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21You are misinformed. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21Apparently by you.
b, 21b, 21I'm just old and confused and LW is posting jokes he's never heard before so he can laugh to himself. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21My mistake was assuming that people around here were reasonably well informed about issues and laws that have been in the news. b, 21b, 21I was refering to the Help American Vote Act (HAVAC). A federal law passed in 2002 by a republican congress and signed into law by Bush. The purpose of the law is to make voting more difficult. b, 21b, 21The part of the act I was referring to requires people to provide id when registering to vote. b, 21This is a new requirement. b, 21It only applies to people who are registering to vote for the first time. b, 21Baby boomers who registered before the law was passed have never been required to provide id. b, 21They still not required to show id. b, 21b, 21It is a law that puts restriction on one class of people (new registrants) that other citizens (those registered before it was passed) do not have to meet. b, 21b, 21It is my belief that for elections to be fair all voters must be treated the same. b, 21b, 21http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_America_Vote_Act/a1
