The answer to that would be a concerted effort to identify the Democrat party in Spanish language advertisements as the party that supports a man marrying another man.

Imagine ads in Spanish such as: "I vote for Democrats because I believe that a man should be able to marry another man." Or "Homosexual men vote for the Democrat Party because they want to permit men to marry other men."

Perfectly factual advertisements - they would not run afoul of "activists" because they are supporting gay rights - after all, who could oppose that?

The Democrat-infested state of Connecticut has a voter ID law.

Strange that you see all of the usual suspects having a conniption fit over states such as Wisconsin and Georgia instituting voter ID laws, but they are completely silent about places such as Connecticut where such laws have been in place for years.

Go Hispanics! They’ll be a lot more conservative than black (or white)Dems.

This is NOT about "Hispanics", but legal vs. ILLEGAL voters. And, by the way, since 71% of illegal aliens receive some form of welfare, to expect them to vote for cuts in that welfare is to defy 80 years of the Democrat Machine.

"...In fact, there is not one organization from the minority community that supported this bill,” said Steven Brown, executive director of the Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Sounds like the community organizers aren't on the same page with the community. What's interesting is that the NAACP is taking the position of the white liberal elite rather than of its black members. Meanwhile, black politicians who are actually accountable to the community have supported the bill.

I voted in Rhode Island in November of 1980. I didn’t have to take ID out of my pocket but after I was checked in a woman shouted “James Kevin Wass” so all in the room could hear - the 18th century form of voter ID.

Well, that sounds like a law that would not pass in Illinois. That would disenfranchise several hundred thousand Chicago cemetery residents who cannot obtain a current picture id. Now if obituary photos were allowed ....

They should do the same in Kalifornia! Voter’s ID and matching driver’s license (or U.S. ID or passport).

Dems are going to have a hard time keeping blacks and hispanics in the same party. They string both groups along with promises of unconstitutional racial preferences and feed race pride (racism) into each group to keep them together and against whitey. However, racists don’t like any other race of people.

Me either. In fact, the next election I’m going to question the registrar as to why they didn’t ask for photo ID.
