Strange.

Democrats are usually adamantly opposed to voter ID laws.

I've never understood why. /s

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

It’s interesting to see that the Dems are totally opposed to voter ID unless they think it will benefit them.

In this case, I’d say it probably won’t, but being a Dem means never having to say you’r sorry...

RI is an interesting state. It is not nearly as liberal at heart as it seems. It is great that blacks are starting to wakeup to the cost of illegal immigration.

Our elections will continue to be fiascos until EVERYONE is required to show an I.D. in order to vote and steps are taken to stop the dead from voting and the piggies from voting multiple time. Right now, our “elections” are a big joke. If you are such a lowlife that you can’t produce an I.D. to vote, you shouldn’t be voting anyway.

The question isn’t why the Democrats are so against any kind of voter ID; it’s why did they support this in RI.

Wouldn’t it be great if the Democrats cared as much about avoiding disenfranchising real voters by preventing vote fraud as they care about all those imaginary voters who somehow can’t get IDs?

Democrats react to voter ID laws like a vampire to garlic.

Pardon the OT post, but "State Rep. Anastasia P. Williams, a Providence Democrat...considers herself both African-American and Latino."

Wow, a trifecta! Female, AA, AND Latino. Is she gay perchance?

Not only has a pig just flown by my window but now I am aware of the Cape Verdean-Americans vulnerabilities to vote fraud. Who knew?

Now there’s a concept. Let’s persuade blacks and Hispanics to support anti-fraud efforts to prevent each other from rigging elections. Won’t that burn the shorts of the leftists?

4473 style paperwork and NICS background check for all voting. This will cure much of the voter fraud out there and anyone that doesn’t support it cannot in good faith support the same to buy a gun.

If it’s good enough to justify owning a gun, it’s good enough to justify to vote.

Hmmm,

So blacks there are worried about Hispanics displacing them. Ok, makes sense. But then how would Voter ID help, when we’re ALWAYS being told that there is no fraud? Perhaps many of these new Hispanic voters haven’t quite gotten around to taking an oath of citizenship...perhaps?

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.

"...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).
