What's wrong with establishing some id and some literacy to vote - as
long as the administrators are color blind?

Unlike a lot of people I WANT them to know who I am if they already
don't.

Sure, hugh, and why not just close all but one polling center in Wayne county? I mean, that's not explicitly targeting anyone because of race or voting tendencies.

I don't know what's funnier, the politicians with their transparent attempts to sway elections under the "going after voting fraud" banner, or the arguments their minions float to excuse the behavior.

Cheers.

You have a very limited intellectual view of what can be accomplished.
You must have missed the point about color blind.

Obviously you think illiterate people should vote because, by your
response, you seem to think they are your peers.

What's right does not depend on who is saying it.

Pehaps, hugh, what happened in ncar is just beyond you. Of course they don't include any mention of color in the new legislation. I suspect there isn't a single rule they've enacted that you wouldn't certify as "color blind".

And ncar didn't enact any unique legislation - they're just doing what scumbag republicans are doing all over. They just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar by being dumb enough to actually discuss things like "how and where do minorities vote and how can we make it more difficult for them without, you know, calling them out directly in the new law".

Cheers.

ID yes.

"Literacy" no.

You are victimized by slow comprehension. I did not say "certify as
color blind". Notice the "are" in my quote below.

"as long as the administrators are color blind?"

In my mind we can say pretty much what we wish as individuals on rsfc.
But, when given the responsibility we often have to do what is best
although not what we like.

That is a complete antithesis of what I suggest. The discussion you
mention bears no resemblance to my parameters.

You can't solve a problem without having one of your strongest
opponents on your BoD. You have to know what he thinks and why. I have
found, several times, that you can make him a supporter if you handle
the situation properly.

I may not know the reality of today but I know what has often worked
for me.

Why not literacy? If they can't read what possible positive
contribution can they make to the election process? That seems like
flipping a coin to me.

It's not (to me) solely whether you are socialist or American - it's
more whether you know the difference.

Where do you think me wrong?
