NBC’s Today Accuses GOP of Minority Voter Suppression

On Thursday’s NBC Today, correspondent Ronan Farrow devoted a five-minute report to promoting liberal claims of Republicans trying to suppress Democratic voter turnout on election day by targeting minority groups with voter ID laws. Farrow warned: “According to one recent survey, one in five voters lives in a state that requires photo ID to vote but don’t know it....a wave of new laws making it tougher than ever just to cast a ballot.”

He highlighted one victim of the policy: “Charda Hanamadas lives in Wisconsin. She's a mother of three and a public schoolteacher. And this year she was told she wouldn't be able to vote.” A soundbite played of Hanamadas declaring: “I just felt so stunned and disenfranchised and angry. I should be able to, you know, go to my middle school two blocks from my house and be able to cast my vote just like every other American....I’m heartbroken.”

NBC's Today Accuses Republicans of Minority Voter Suppression

And yet, somehow, they keep on voting anyway. So not only are Republicans evil, but we're incompetent too!

claims of Republicans trying to suppress Democratic voter turnout on election day by targeting minority groups with voter ID laws.

Wow liberals really show their disdain for minorities with this stuff. What? Minoritites lack the ability to gt ID? Lack the intelligence to figure out how to get it done? Can’t figure out how to go somewhere and get an ID? Just why do liberals think that minorities lack the ability to get an ID?

So to prove that nasty-nasty Republicans are racist in their voter ID laws the best the media can do is find is someone who immigrated from Ireland when a child, had the wrong state's driver's license (and therefore was probably driving illegally in Wisconsin because you must get a Wisconsin license within 60 days of moving in) and didn't have her immigration paperwork or a passport. That is quite a stretch.

Here I thought everyone without an ID was a poor black woman who had her drivers license stolen by the Klan just outside the voting booth.

Public School Teacher who doesn’t know basics of voting in Wisconsin. Is she from Illinois? No insult intended to Illinois. How is she qualified to teach?

She probably moved and failed to change her address or to re-register.

could be, but the premise was about not having ID.
She was used as an example, yet no mention of what ID she doesn’t have.
weird.
