while boehner "hopes" latinos and blacks will not bother to vote this election, others are more candid about their attempts to discourage or at least not make it easy for these groups, who typically can't get time off work because they are on the lower end of the employment ladder, to get to the polls...

so the only hope apparently is that the blacks and latinos will live up to their "lazy moocher" caricature and not bother.

Less prominent Republicans have made essentially the same case in other terms. Doug Priesse, chair of the Franklin County, Ohio, Republican Party, indicated restrictions on early voting hours and voter ID laws were meant to keep blacks from voting. In an email sent earlier this month to The Columbus Dispatch's Darrel Rowland, Priesse said

"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine… Let’s be fair and reasonable."

Priesse is on the elections board and voted against keeping polls open in the weekends. In June, Pennsylvania House Republican leader Mike Turzai conceeded the point of voter ID is to help Republicans win when he said, "Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."

Ummm, raw, naked truth here. Whassa matter? You leftists can't stand the truth?

"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine… Let’s be fair and reasonable."

More raw naked truth. Why in the hell should we contort, twist and distort our voting laws to accomodate anyone...or permit illegals, felons, the dead or other important but illegal demoscat voting blocks to vote?

For those who are elibible to vote:

It's demoscats who don't want voter id laws enforced.

It's demoscats who attempt to subvert the election process by registering illegal aliens, by attempts to prevent states from preventing those not elibible to vote from voting and by filing law suits to prevent military personnel from voting early...in the face of federal law what permits them to do so.

Prove it.

If there is any validity to this claim,
Prove it.

If not it is a lie.

And how many of these illegals actually voted??

How many?

Jwhop, you're still not in a position to speak of other people being illogical.

The promulgation of these laws has been at the hands of Republicans. Hence the "twisting and distorting" of voting laws. It's not just DemoCrats that don't want voter I.D. laws enforced.

Texas' voter ID law struck down in federal court

Texas no less!

This is the third court ruling in the past three days out of the federal courts striking down Republican voter laws. A federal panel on Wednesday blocked a Florida registration measure from continuing in effect. South Carolina's strict photo ID law is on trial in front of another three-judge panel in the same federal courthouse. A court ruling in the South Carolina case is expected in time for the November election.

That whole article is devastating to Republicans that would rather wish that they're above reproach where fairness and equality are concerned. There are plenty more articles echoing the same facts.

Don't skip, it ruins the effect.

And btw, his number for actual voter fraud was actually higher than I heard before.

It would be much harder for someone that old to get the ID as well (all kinds of physical problems are common and even the waiting at most DMVs would be a trial from many that age, and some have arthritis that even writing is near impossible). But if someone wants to say "even one false vote is too much" I can then, just for fun, switch to another topic dear to Republicans these days and watch them switch tracks instantly on how "it doesn't matter when it's statistically insignificant" as convenient to the issue at hand.

Btw, many Iranians said one election couldn't make things that bad because most Iranians would never allow it. The fundamentalists won and decades later they still hold the land in the terror. That, and other real world examples, makes me wonder if Republicans might not manage to pull the same stunt right here in America.
