Black women rally against voter ID laws (deceptive title alert!)

Deidra Reese isn't waiting for people to come to her to find out whether they are registered to vote.

With iPad in hand, Reese is going to community centers, homes and churches in nine Ohio cities, looking up registrations to make sure voters have proper ID and everything else they need to cast ballots on Election Day.

"We are not going to give back one single inch. We have fought too long and too hard," said Reese, 45, coordinator of the Columbus-based Ohio Unity Coalition, an affiliate of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation.

The title alludes to protests. The content alludes to something else altogether.

Although I recognize that less than 1% of the people these women are working with will vote with the country's interest in mind (they are making sure Obama voters can vote), I applaud their efforts. Make sure that people have the means to prove who their registration says they are. No problems with that. That's what should be happening.

This just reduces the possibility of the dead, aliens (illegal or legal), and out of state people voting in an election.

Thanks for posting. I just read the article on Stars and Stripes, and wondered who wrote the title?

So why can’t we do this with our military? It is the only disenfranchised group the Dems don’t give a rat’s patootie about.

Yes, indeed! Good for them. Instead of whining and complaining, simply extend your GOTV efforts to make sure potential voters have the necessary ID. What a novel concept!

The title is awful.

I’ve been suggesting something like this for some time now. This is exactly what the Democrats should be doing if a fair and accurate election is their goal.

Have them sign up with Photo ID when they pick up their EBT's, Food Stamps, Welfare Checks, etc.

There's NO EXCUSE when they produce Photo ID for handouts, so "Dis-Enfrachisement" is bullshit.

Watch the following video. This is what the media presstitutes, the Community Organizer, and the DNC do not want people to see. This video was taken by a man in Philadelphia who had a Poll Watcher Certificate. He was an eye witness to inner city fraud in solid black areas. The traitors use locked doors to conceal "Ward district" supposed polling rooms to generate as many votes as they can steal.

Philadelphia Voter Intimidation

The man tries to show his credentials, his ID, and then welcomes the vote fraud traitors to call Police. He identifies himself as a Democrat, and is appalled at what is transpiring.

Democrats know if they can steal enough votes in minority districts of a few major cities in swing states, they can steal national elections.

They know this because they have already done it before.

Rarely is vote fraud investigated, and it is even more rare for cases to be prosecuted.

Even if found guilty, most of the time it is a misdemeanor.

There is only one solution: the penalties for Vote Fraud should becincredibly severe. Vote Fraud = Treason! It must be upgraded to a Class 1 Felony in every state, but even more is needed.

If convicted of Vote Fraud, the individual should be punished in this way: they should forfeit all forms of government compensation for a minimum of 10 years. No Social Security, no Medicaid, no Medicare, no disability, no pension - nothing.
