Top Democrat Debunks Own Voter ID Law Criticism
To get Progressives to debunk their own claims, you just have to let them talk.
One of the most common claims against voter id laws, which would require that voters provide their ID's in order to verify who they are in order to vote, is that it would suppress the vote of people who don't have an id. Never mind that you need an ID for lots of things in life already, such as:
- Fly on an airplane
- Purchasing over the counter medicine that contains pseudoephedrine
- Get a passport
- Buy alcohol
- Buy cigarettes
- Apply for welfare
- Apply for food stamps
- Cash a check
- Purchase a firearm
- Make any large credit card purchase
- Open a bank account
- Rent an apartment
- Be admitted to a hospital in some states
- Get a marriage license in some states
David Plouffe was President Obama's campaign manager. He sent out a tweet the other day saying:
"Disgraceful NC law now becomes powerful motivator there/across US for minority voters to cast ballots. Fitting if it boomerangs. Big in '16"
So let's get this straight. The new voter id laws will suppress the minority vote so much that it will cause minorities to come out stronger to vote?
So much for their claims of minority vote suppression.
