I completely agree with your first paragraph. The exploitation of voters in this regard is a travesty. But I wouldn’t call showing an ID a huge and burdensome amount of security. Especially considering the number of times I’ve had to show my ID in the past week. I can’t imagine how anyone can function in our society…

That’s my question. Georgia has a voter’s ID that is free. You can go to any Registrar or DMV(DDS) office and get it. You have to prove who you are and where you live which shouldn’t be impossible. I live in Camden County and we have 1 DDS office and 1 Registrar’s office, so everyone has to deal with the same crap…

I still don’t get why showing an ID to vote is a problem. Just saying that people are afraid to get an ID isn’t a good reason.

voter id laws arnt there to make sure voting isnt being controlled by illegals. im taking the more politcal than social activism approach, what about russia. what are your views on the russia voter fraud past election that has to be considered here.

I don’t reside in the state but I have received fundraising emails from Tom Perez touting Jones. They need to go all in on this race.

That would take some $$$ help from the DNC, which may or may not be forthcoming.

The thing is, population-wise, it probably isn’t. The black vote has just been so adamantly suppressed for so long that it’s hard to do anything about. The upshot being that we may end up with such low Republican turnout in December due to them thinking it must be a foregone conclusion that Doug Jones could actually…

Copy/pasting what I posted at The Root:

Since Doug Jones successfully prosecuted the Olympic and woman’s health clinic bomber Army of God member Eric Rudolph as well as the 1963 Birmingham church bombers he ought to go full Atwater-Bush on Roy Moore. Make it seem like they and Moore are attached at the shackle.

Roy Moore is so despicable that he out-Trumped the guy Trump endorsed.

I am just happy I live in one of four counties that didn’t go for Moore, though Strange was not a good alternative(religious zealot bigot homophobe versus a former state AG appointed by a now resigned governor he was investigating) he at least isn’t an imminent direct threat to my family and friends. The Democrats…

Apropos of nothing, that hat is the goofiest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Well, since Melanoma tried going to Harvey-devastated Houston like it was New York Fashion Week.

At least Democrats are running a candidate this time; Jeff Sessions ran unopposed back in 2014...

hilariously you are looking for white supremacists and then jewish white supremacists, but you are going back to the civil war. this alone defeats your argument. not because they have not existed. but because they are not famous enough to serve your argument.

Good. Don’t read it. Nobody cares what you think.

“as a standard-issue center-left pundit who is sort of clueless about race” 

I stand in between you and Chait on the political spectrum and your view of the NYT is fucking laughable.

It’s like they’re all a bunch of Baby Boomers.

WHITE sumprecists. WHITE. WHIIIIIITE.

Call me crazy, but I like it when words having meaning. Cash me outside, Jonathan.
