Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently asserted that Voter ID laws are designed to intimidate and scare people away from the [political] process. Lynch's perspectivewhich represents that of the Democratic Party as a wholes founded on the premise that the incidence of voter fraud is extremely rare, and that initiatives like Voter ID requirements, which have been put in place in 34 states, are unnecessary and constitute a form of vote suppression. A related argument holds that some demographic subgroups of the U.S. populationparticularly nonwhite and low-income peopleare considerably less likely to hold government-issued forms of identification than are their white, more affluent counterparts. Thus, say the critics, Voter ID laws discriminate against these subgroups and function as a modern-day equivalent of poll taxes that have the effect of disenfranchising certain groups.
The notion that voter fraud is an uncommon occurrence can be traced most significantly to Citizens Without Proof, a November 2006 report produced by the George Soros-funded Brennan Center for Justice, which stated that fraud by individual voters is both irrational [because perpetrators risk penalties of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine] and extremely rare.

I wonder what Lynch thinks of gun purchase ID checks?.....................
Are black folks intimidated to buy beer or cigarettes?
Is this why Blacks don’t smoke or drink and are so healthy?
Then how did they get their EBT cards?................
A_F_D calls Loretta Lynch racist
And corrupt
Besides, her surname is racist, right? So, Loretta?
Anything that doesn’t benefit them is racist..har har.
Oh wait she is serious.
Ok, so what isn’t racist. *shrug*
Granddaughter is a dual citizenU.S. and Costa Rican. When she turned 18 she got her Costa Rican Voter ID card. If Costa Rica can pull off voter photo ID, you’d think the US could. Mexico requires photo ID. India! requires photo ID. But the US can’t because: racismright.

Why, Loretta? Are blacks too stupid to figure out how to get picture IDs? Is that what you’re saying?
What is RACIST is assuming that blacks are too stupid and helpless to obtain some form of a valid ID prior to election day. You can be semi-retarded and get a driver’s license, and if you don’t drive you can still get an ID from the MVD.
In almost all states, if you don’t have an acceptable form of ID, you can still vote with a provisional ballot; the ballot will be counted if you can produce a valid ID within 5 or so days after election day. If no ID is eventually provided, the ballot gets tossed out. That’s an overly generous policy.
Black Kankles is an affirmative action FOOL just like @hole Eric Holder and BathHouse Barry.
And the grandchildren. The big tarmac “meeting”!
VOTE FRAUD ALERT!!!!
It is extraordinarily racist to assume blacks are too stupid to obtain a government ID. Yes, I know Loretta Lynch is black.
This is out of the same clothe as her meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in 2016.
If you pick up aluminum cans on the side of the road and bring them to the recyclers you will need a photo id in order to get paid.
What’s so intimidating about having a photo ID? Don’t whites/blacks/Asians/Indians etc. all have to show ID? If so, then it cannot possibly be racist. SHE is the racist for suggesting the laws would be.
“...the incidence of voter fraud is extremely rare...”
BS.
To call requiring proof of identification racist is racist. To allow fraud of any kind is undemocratic, diluting the voter franchise, and thus creating an inequity and violation of law that could be characterized as racist. Lynch therefore is racist.
Which other Federal and State ID requirements are "racist"?
The ONLY reason to oppose Voter ID is to propagate VOTE FRAUD!!
I respect what Loretta Lynn says over Loretta Lynch in this case.
Loretta, the optics look like you're promoting voter fraud by calling the Voter ID laws designed to fight voter fraud, as racist.
We should expect nothing better from these Obama Unmake America crowd.
