I think one thing is for sure - we need to strengthen our elections laws.

You should have to prove citizenship to be able to register to vote. You should have to show I.D. at your polling place before being given a ballot.

It's important that we make it as easy as possible for everybody - whose eligible to vote - to vote. It's equally as important that the integrity of the vote is protected by our laws so that any individual's legally cast vote is not canceled out by an illegally cast one. If there is anything that's disenfranchisement this is.

Well you know, that's discriminatory because minorities don't get birth certificates and find it difficult to obtain a state ID card or driver's license.

It's The Man trying to keep minorities disenfranchised.

I couldn't agree with you more but you need to be aware of the fact that what you have described is what the left calls "intimidation and disenfranchisment".
