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.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, all your problems look like nails
LOL...I saw the headline and read it as Loretta Lynne. Sheesh.
I guess Lynch and others like her don’t understand that what they are really saying is that Blacks and other “minorities” are either too stupid or too lazy to accept responsibility and do what is necessary to vote.
Then GET government-issued forms of identification. Put as much effort into getting an ID as you put into getting government-issued welfare.
When you spend your life only getting ahead via government discrimination, aka Affirmative action, and only view life through a black lens then of course everything is racist.
Yes...does she know something we don't know about Blacks?
Voter fraud in the democ'Rat ranks is rampant. They have a long history of cheating in elections.
So, she’s saying that minorities are too stupid and weak to vote/obtain identification properly.
Ah... This from a well known racist.
Lynch is a Democrat; therefore, political process =win at any cost, including voter fraud. Therefore, a true statement.
You’re a short, squat little toad. Bitch belongs in prison.
You’re an Adult(?) so it’s easy to get a voter ID ,oh wait you only see color in everything
Except for getting an EBT card or a CHIP card but they can’t get one for voting.
I know, really. So banal.
Texas law: You Must Have ID. Else no voting.
Lynch is promoting voter fraud. Its the Democrats only hope.
Some forms of stupidity is not worth the time.
Other forms of supidity, like using that overused word... tells who she is... she’s like all the rest... below par and thinks she can win by having the deck stacked in her favor... for she can’t win fair and square.
This woman sold her soul on the tarmac to deceit with the clintons.
Not being American I have to ask this because liberals in the US claim that you have to prove who you are to get registered.
So when a voter goes to the poll, and says I am “James Smith” and the roll caller looks at their voter list and finds “James Smith” at “121 Bonavista Avenue” what happens next? Do they take the man standing there, his word for it? Or do they ask for some sort of ID? And what ID is acceptable?
