93-Year-Old Tennessee Woman Who Cleaned State Capitol For 30 Years Denied Voter ID

quote:

---

A 93-year-old Tennessee woman who cleaned the state Capitol for 30 years, including the governor’s office, says she won’t be able to vote for the first time in decades after being told this week that her old state ID failed to meet new voter ID regulations.

Thelma Mitchell was even accused of being an undocumented immigrant because she could’t produce a birth certificate:

Mitchell, who was delivered by a midwife in Alabama in 1918, has never had a birth certificate. But when she told that to a drivers’ license clerk, he suggested she might be an illegal immigrant.

Thelma Mitchell told WSMV-TV that she went to a state drivers’ license center last week after being told that her old state ID from her cleaning job would not meet new regulations for voter identification.

Getting a voter registration form and returning it to the Registrar of voters is easy.

demoscats resist voter identification because illegal voters are part of their political calculations.

Al Franken is a Senator because in some voting districts in his state...there were more votes cast than there were registered voters. Same thing happened in Ohio.

If people can't be bothered to get a photo identification, register to vote and show up at the right precinct to vote with their photo ID...THEN DON'T VOTE!

getting a photo id may be easy for you but not for someone who hasn't money for food let alone the cost of such ID

while students can easily get around this by absentee ballot the young'uns may not be savvy enough to go this route, or know about it in time to do so!

NOW LET"S SEE...WHO is most likely not to be voting under these conditions? the poor, the young, and the elderly...no wonder RASMUSSEN doesn't bother including these in his polls!

anyone here heard of ALEC? http://alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed

seems the similarity in so many new state laws and regulations comes from one place, and that is the corporate world...who are writing "model" bills to be taken home and instated as the brainchildren of individual legislators...WHAT a surprise to find the koch brothers fund a hefty part of this event.

what a surprise that the actual legislators pay a nominal ($50?) fee and the corporate donors foot the rest of the bill, including fare for subject and family, expensive hotels while in town, etc etc etc.

and again, WHAT a surprise that they choose a "legislator of the year" from among their proteges who receives a substantial CASH award.

Photo ID is easy to obtain. There are secondary forms of identification which are accepted if a birth certificate is unavailable.

demoscats are all for voter fraud and all the caterwauling about photo ID is just another smoke screen.

Why would anyone have to pay to camp in a National Park?

Why would anyone have to pay to drive on a turnpike?

Why would anyone have to pay to ride on a public transit authority bus?

People are not paying to vote.

People are paying the cost of providing a positive identification attesting to who they are.

If they're too lazy to get off their duffs and haul their carcasses down to the DMV to get a photo ID...then don't vote. Americans have had it with voter fraud. demoscats are the only group in America who stand fore square for voter fraud.

Perhaps it's time to remind everyone that this is a Linda Goodman site. As I recall, one of Linda Goodman's axioms is that the truth can't be repeated too often. So, there's no need to refrain from repeating what to you, is truthful or relevant.

Ummm, I can't speak for Randall but I much prefer the word Kilt as opposed to Skirt.

I agree.. I also want to add, that people seem to find the funds to get an ID when they need to purchase items, fly to a destination, purchase alcohol etc... all one needs is a valid picture ID in order to vote.

The 93 year old had to produce identification in order to have her position that she held for 30 years. Are you telling me that she never produced a birth certificate in order to get a social security card? How in the heck has she even lived this long and purchased big items, car, house or even credit cards without a SS#?

I call BS.

If you read it you will find that the person has many alternatives to the "photo ID" that they have to pay for. First time voters have more restrictions, but even they can produce alternative information in order to vote.

According to the site:
"Note: The requirements described above apply ONLY to FIRST TIME VOTERS WHO REGISTERED BY MAIL.
All other persons who registered to vote in person or have voted before must only present evidence of their signature or
sign an Affidavit of Identity."

Sooo.... a former STATE employee that had to produce a valid ID in order to work at the state capitol is not allowed to vote? Didn't she have a state employee ID? Is this the first time in her 93 years (subtracting her 1st 18 years since we can't vote until we are 18) that she actually voted? Hmmm... I think someone needs to do a bit of research into her story.

posted December 30, 2011 12:11 PM            

i don't know that she owns a home or any of those things. perhaps she doesn't drink, bought a house outright 50 years ago, or rents, who knows? anyone?

I have posted before the number of times election fraud was discovered in the last election....

The BIG NUMBER????

FOUR.

The intent of all of these new laws is clear: make it harder for a large demographic to vote. Why? Because that demographic tends to vote Democratic.

P.S. I am a registered independant.

That nonsense simply isn't going to fly Node.

You cite only 4 cases of voter fraud yet in both Minnesota and Ohio there were voting districts with vote totals which exceeded the total number of registered voters...in some cases by thousands of votes.

Voter turnout typically runs around 65% of registered voters.

How is it possible to have more votes cast than there are registered voters?

There's only one answer to that question Node and that answer is voter fraud. Votes totals cannot exceed the total number of registered voters in any other way.

demoscats don't want to put a stop to voter fraud because fraudulant voters typically vote for demoscats.

Free and fair elections are the only things which make any sense in a Constitutional Republic to choose those who represent the people; yet, demoscats and their interest groups have been attempting to overthrow the election process for years. ACORN..the con and fraud artists who are joined at the hip with O'Bomber are just one of the groups involved in voter fraud and voter registration fraud.

Every state in the United States should have a photo ID system for voters...and require photo ID before handing a perspective voter a ballot.

Every state in the United States should purge their voter roll of deceased persons..another voting block for demoscats.

Every state in the United States should purge their voter rolls of felons who have lost their rights to vote.

Every state in the United States should purge their voter rolls of people who have moved out of their state.

Voting by absentee ballot should be sharply curtailed and common sense rules instituted to make sure these people did not also vote in person.

People get where they want to get in America. They go shopping, to movies, to sports events, to doctors and everywhere else they want to go.

but isn't it funny that the iowa caucus is NOT demanding photo id, allowing people to register on the day, and using paper, hand-counted balloting...

is that because they don't think republicans ever cheat? perhaps they want a bunch of democrats coming in to throw a spanner in the works?

I find it laughable that leftists screech and shriek over any attempt to prevent voter fraud.

Laughable too that you would attempt to say Bush failed in prosecuting voter fraud cases.
There's some people in prison now...or they were in prison in cases brought by Bush Justice Dept attorneys for voter registration fraud.

Further, at least 2 US Attorneys were fired for failing to investigate and prosecute what were massive voter registration fraud and voter fraud cases. This fraud was linked directly to O'Bomber's pals at ACORN.
