Hi I'm a new poster and I hope I will be welcomed with open arms here!

However, I've been following as of recently the big GOP push to get new voter laws into effect "that would prevent people who are supposed to vote from voting".

In my opinion  this is just an attempt by the reactionary GOP to oppress working class voters, blacks, Latinos, and women from voting so their candidates can win in critical states like Floridia, Wisconsin and elsewhere next year. 

However, I don't know much about the details of these voter laws and how they will effect the election so I would like to hear from those more educated and informed on them then I.

Thank you!

Welcome!

I'm kinda the opposite of Tender on this issue; I'm a conservative Democrat and I am appalled at such efforts by the Republicans. Even as a white male myself, its easy to see that these laws are designed to foster a "bleached" electorate. Its amazing the lengths that the GOP will go to in order to impede the President's electoral fortunes.


That's what I figure too!

The GOP always has an ulterior motive for pushing things like this

Hell most teabaggers wouldn't mind Jim Crow coming back!

trying to drum up support for such measures.

They don't need to drum it up. Every single poll shows that Americans by about 70-80% favor photo-ID laws.

If the American people only knew the truth about this.........
