Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - GMDino - 08-27-2015 http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/08/26/3695039/county-admits-it-disenfranchised-voters-in-african-american-dominated-county/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tptop3 Quote:Fulton County, Georgia admitted to illegally disenfranchising and misleading voters in the 2008 and 2012 elections in a settlement this month. For more than two dozen violations of state law — including improperly rejecting eligible ballots and sending voters to the wrong precincts — the county will pay a fine of $180,000. To make sure the problems do not continue in the future, the county has promised to spend an additional $200,000 on new training software for their poll workers. RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - jakefromstatefarm - 08-27-2015 OMG! They are going to require people to provide proof that they are a citizen in order to vote!!! The nerve of those people! RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - GMDino - 08-27-2015 (08-27-2015, 04:51 PM)jakefromstatefarm Wrote: OMG!

Are you ever capable or articulating your own thoughts without memes and copy-pasta? What's so wrong about a voter proving their eligibility in order to vote? I have to prove that I'm a licensed driver before test driving a car.

Why waste time telling you you didn't read the article but simply responded with a pat talking point? At least looking up the appropriate meme is more entertaining than your responses. But if it annoys you I am quite sorry. ![]() RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - jakefromstatefarm - 08-27-2015 Obviously I read the article or I wouldn't have questioned you about a portion of the article. If you don't have an answer for it, fine with me. Just post another meme. That'll show everyone you're right.

No, it shows you are wrong. ![]() But seriously, if you did read the article are you not concerned about all the OTHER means of disenfranchising they ADMITTED to? You're so hung up on one thing YOU think isn't a problem you completely ignored the rest? Brilliant! RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - jakefromstatefarm - 08-27-2015 Where did you prove me wrong, other than stating that I'm wrong? I don't see why it's necessary to have 45 days of early voting. I've voted in every election for the past 22 years, and only one time did I have to vote on a day other than election day. I did that by absentee mail-in. I'm still waiting for you to highlight how asking someone to prove that they are a citizen and therefore eligible to vote is a bad thing. Obviously it's racist...because any attempts to ensure legitimate elections are always labeled "racist". As for the rest, I'd say that I'm glad that they cracked down on those idiots. Using the name "Tom" rather than "Thomas" on a voter registration card is no excuse to disenfranchise said voter. Hope this clears up for you that I did read the article and maybe you can do away with the moronic daily kos means and address my questions.

And while I know its a waste of five minutes out of my day: Clearly *I* think anything that allows more people to get a chance to vote is a good move and anything that hinders a person's ability to vote is a bad thing. In the story above the county admitted to deliberately trying to disenfranchise voters...by doing the things YOU think aren't wrong or disenfranchising. ![]() RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - BmorePat87 - 08-27-2015 As someone whose mom misspelled his middle name as "Joesph" (she blames whatever they put her on after giving birth), I don't like the fact that a discrepancy between my SS info (which is spelt "Joseph" and my license (which is "Joesph") could cause me to be ineligible to vote.

Pfft. You're just an idiot. ![]() RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - jakefromstatefarm - 08-27-2015 (08-27-2015, 09:47 PM)GMDino Wrote: Pfft. You're just an idiot. Apparently you missed the part where I gave props for them getting busted for doing such things. Something as simple as that shouldn't take that long to clear up, and certainly isn't an excuse to justify disenfranchise them. It would sure be nice if you would address my question about how ensuring someone is a citizen and therefore a legitimate voter is a bad thing. I don't expect it though.

Do you understand the difference between registering to vote and actually voting. Every person who is registered to vote has already proven citizenship. So the issue of voter fraud that you want to address has to do with voter registration instead of actual voting. It is almost impossible for a person to commit voter fraud at the polls. The person would have to know of another registered voter that they knew for certain would not vote. That would only happen on such a small scale that it really would not make any difference. Everyone knows that more restrictions on voter means fewer poor voters. And that helps the Republican party. http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/06/25/505953/pennsylvania-republican-voter-id-laws-are-gonna-allow-governor-romney-to-win/ This weekend, Pennsylvania Republican House Leader Mike Turzai (R-PA) finally admitted what so many have speculated: Voter identification efforts are meant to suppress Democratic votes in this year’s election. At the Republican State Committee meeting, Turzai took the stage and let slip the truth about why Republicans are so insistent on voter identification efforts — it will win Romney the election, he said: “We are focused on making sure that we meet our obligations that we’ve talked about for years,” said Turzai in a speech to committee members Saturday. “Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.” RE: Georgia County Admits To Illegally Disenfranchising Voters - Benton - 09-02-2015 (08-27-2015, 04:51 PM)jakefromstatefarm Wrote: OMG!

The fact they didn't show up after they were removed with an id.
