Maybe they should start voting only once in their own chambers, and set a good example of what voting a real democracy is. They should try to live by their own rules.

I would like to hear one Republican that thinks that the states passing the stricter laws aren't targeting minorities. Why is so hard to accept that inner city minorities don't have drivers licenses? Why is obtaining a voter id only during working hours? The post office has mobile trucks that you can buy stamps, or mail items from. Why don't these states have mobile vehicles that will go into minority sections of cities, and issue voter ids? Why is making it easy to obtain a voter id a real problem?

Better yet, why not hand out voter ids at the polling booth at the next election. All the voter would have to do is show the id that they showed in the past, and then that person would receive voter id.

As soon as, the courts said that basically southern states didn't have to get courts approval before they could change the voting laws due to their discriminatory past practices, South Carolina, and Texas rushed to adopt strict voter id laws. South Caroline did it in a day.

You are going to sit there with a straight face, and say that minorities are being targeted. Come on man! If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
