Sponsor of disputed Georgia legislation told feds that blacks in her district only vote if they are paid to do so.

In Wisconsin the GOP has passed a voter ID law in which the state will provide free ID but the Democrat Gov. Doyle keeps vetoing it for fear of losing all those fraudulent votes.

If they have no driver's license they have no business voting anyway.

Clearly, the way to avoid duplicate voting, and to head on into the 21st century, and to prevent disenfranchised felons from voting, is to use fingerprint scanning.

Jeez, I've been voting in almost every election since I turned 21 (voting at 18 came later.)

Had I been black, I could have been paid for all of those votes and I would now have lots more money than I have now. This is definitely a case of racial disparity.

I want to know who to sue for lack of economic prosperity - is it liberal white politicians or black ministers who refused to give me "walking around" money?

At one time the vote was inviolate and sacred, today it is given to/for the highest bidder in doling out the taxpayers money. We have become a hollow shell of a America that once was.

Look, it's just the AJC, not like it's a real newspaper or anything.

We do have ID cards and a provision for getting one for FREE...

Georgia Identification Card for Voting Purposes
Georgia law now provides for the issuance of a free identification card to citizens over age eighteen (18) who are registered voters. In order to be eligible for a free identification card, the voter must be indigent and have no acceptable proof of identity to use when voting. These free identification cards are issued at all Customer Service Centers and are valid for ten (10) years.

FL has similar Justice Department "supervision" and they have voter ID laws. No problem in FL via disenfranchising.

There are ZERO reasons to object to ID laws. Only those seeking to preserve fraud object.

What's REALLY funny is that a journalist industry website has a post touting this article as great work.
