Former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee recently announced that he wants to be the Democrats’ 2016 presidential candidate.
In July 2011, Governor Chafee signed a bill that requires voters to show photo ID.
In March 2012, Obama’s Justice Department blocked Texas’s voter ID requirement, claiming that it was “racist.”
However, the very same Justice Department requires photo ID for everyone who enters.
So let’s say that someone is denied their right to vote because they don’t have voter ID, and they want to file a lawsuit at the Justice Department. But because they don’t have photo ID, they can’t get into the Justice Department in the first place!
In this video, beginning at 2:39, we see that Obama’s Justice Department requires photo ID for everyone who enters:

The same video also shows that you need photo ID in order to enter other liberal organizations which claim that requiring voter ID is “racist,” including the Advancement Project (at 1:38), the Center for American Progress (2:08), and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (2:23).
At a July 2012 NAACP event, NAACP President Ben Jealous claimed that requiring voter ID was “racist.” However, at that very same event, the NAACP required photo ID in order to get into the event in the first place!
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Britain, India, and South Africa all require photo ID in order to vote, but U.S. liberals don’t consider those countries’ requirements to be “racist.”
In January 2012, Illinois passed a law which requires buyers of drain cleaner to show photo ID, but liberals didn’t accuse this requirement of being “racist.”
In June 2012, Michelle Obama required photo ID in order to attend her book signings, but liberals didn’t accuse her of being “racist.”
In June 2012, Barack Obama required photo ID in order to attend his campaign events, but liberals didn’t accuse him of being “racist.”
This article from Politico includes the following photograph of a labor union that requires photo ID in order for its members to vote, but liberals didn’t accuse this union of being “racist”:
In my opinion, requiring photo ID is never “racist.”
However, I would like liberals to please explain why it is “racist” when conservatives do it, but not “racist” when liberals do it.
Anyway, according to liberals’ own “logic,” Lincoln Chafee is a “racist.” Why would they want him to be president?
You require ID to get a driver’s license, food stamps, welfare, a job, basically anything except to vote it seems. Their claim is that the poor would be disenfranchised but the poor need ID in order to get assistance. So how is it that they have ID for benefits but no ID when it comes to voting time?
No voter ID is the biggest crock of bs that continues to be foisted on the republic by the corrupt democrats. Let those without voter ID ‘vote’ but their vote goes into a special voting machine that has a shredder that spits the pieces out the back for confetti to be used in the gay day parade.
I live in NYS. ID is required for a number of things: getting a hunting/fishing license for the first time, to get some medical care, to attend an R-rated movie if you’re below a cetrain age, to buy booze and tobacco products at the grocery store. Board a plane. To name just a few.
But no ID needed to vote.
Go figure.
And your screen name is still an obscene joke.
You have to show and ID to do ANYTHING!
Except vote. LMAO.........the fact that this voter fraud tactic is allowed is about as in your face as you can get.
This has to be stopped. I want a law. Think our wonderful Speaker will get it going in the House???
Trumpster to the rescue. This man get’s things done!!!
BINGO.... Good observation!
This only works because the media presents it as truth and the public is dumb.
Go figure.
No figuring needed. The ONLY WAY the Demoncrat Party can win elections is with massive voter fraud.
The RATS think Americans are stupid enough to let them continue cheating. Well, are we?
Up till now, the facts speak for themselves.
Let’s not forget the democRAT party insisted on photo id to get into their ‘16 convention.
Wasn’t there a poll showing that 21% of people that opposed photo ID for voting didn’t know that a driver’s license would qualify?
I thought it was the “gooch.” Gonna need an urban thesaurus, soon.
