Democrats Slam Popular Voter ID Bill as Racist and Xenophobic

Voter identification rules are just like Civil War racist exclusion laws, according to Democrats who denounced and voted against the GOP’s SAVE Act bill on the House floor.

“This is the 2024 version of the Jim Crow poll tax and we should vote against it,” claimed  Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) as she denounced the bill, which requires people to prove their citizenship before casting a vote for Democrats or Republicans.

In the 1800s until the 1960s, many people were denied the vote when they did not pay the flat “poll tax” on individuals living in a jurisdiction. But McClellan is determined to disinter the bones of historical racism for Democratic advantage in 2024, saying:

This bill is essentially a poll tax, because I am not aware of a single proof of citizenship document that does not cost an individual money to get it [and] unless we are requiring every state to provide one for free … it’s an unfunded mandate.

In McClellan’s state of Virginia, individuals pay a trivial sum — $4 per year — for driver’s licenses, and $2 per year for simple identification cards. In contrast, political campaigns spent $14 billion to sway 154 million voters in the 2020 election — or roughly $90 per voter.

President Joe Bidee’s staff has promised to veto the bill if it passes the House and Senate.

I THINK MY BC has my FOOT PRINT ON IT. 1939.

OBAMA’s BC is total garbage.

The biggest mistake in their ‘research’ to make one up:

The hospital named on the BC Obama Finally provided is the MERGER of two hospitals-—about 5-6 YEARS AFTER OBAMA WAS BORN .

Black people can’t get ID’s because they don’t know where the DMV is. This was in the news a while back.
