Texsox Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I do not think it is racist. I think long lines at the polls is a mistake. I think long lines at the DMV to have ever American photographed by the state is a mistake. I think this is a solution looking for a problem. Stopping voter fraud is an admirable goal. But doing so at the expense of legitimate voters while ignoring the biggest source of fraud, absentee ballots, is political grandstanding and pandering for votes. Now I have to go check my mailbox for my stimulus check Bush Woot! Gop! there is some pandering I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 About 12 Indiana nuns were turned away Tuesday from a polling place by a fellow bride of Christ because they didn't have state or federal identification bearing a photograph. Sister Julie McGuire said she was forced to turn away her fellow sisters at Saint Mary's Convent in South Bend, across the street from the University of Notre Dame, because they had been told earlier that they would need such an ID to vote. The nuns, all in their 80s or 90s, didn't get one but came to the precinct anyway. "One came down this morning, and she was 98, and she said, 'I don't want to go do that,'" Sister McGuire said. Some showed up with outdated passports. None of them drives. They weren't given provisional ballots because it would be impossible to get them to a motor vehicle branch and back in the 10-day time frame allotted by the law, Sister McGuire said. "You have to remember that some of these ladies don't walk well. They're in wheelchairs or on walkers or electric carts." Nonetheless, she said, the convent will make a "very concerted effort" to get proper identification for the nuns in time for the general election. "We're going to take from now until November to get them out and get this done. You can't do this like school kids on a bus," she said. "I wish we could." One threat to America stopped dead in its tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) One threat to America stopped dead in its tracks. If it takes from now until November for them to get the damn ID's that they KNEW they had to have before they showed up, they should just go to the grave now. "One came down this morning, and she was 98, and she said, 'I don't want to go do that,'" Sister McGuire said. The arrogance in that statement is so over the top it is hard to believe that these are ladies of the cloth. Well, if you don't want to get an ID, then you don't vote. How more plain can that get? Any bets that this is just being done to make a 'statement'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
