[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Integrated enough? Are you serious? I'm concerned about my 96 year old black father who was born in a house. Those are the people who get hurt. He's a fool and you are too stupid to realize it.

Well, my white parents were also born in houses --as were most people your father's age or older.  Did your father never drive?  Never work where he needed a Social Security Card? Ever serve in the Armed Forces?   There are many ways to get IDs.  I remember when my mom had to get verifcation-[b]-it is not that hard to find some type of verification for an ID card.[/b][/quote]

Spoken like someone completely ignorant of the issues at hand.  And also someone with little imagination to realize the barriers people have faced.

Do a little reading up on the subject.  There have been tons of stories in the mainstream media about American citizens who have experienced incredible difficulties getting ID that was ACCEPTABLE TO THE STATE THEY LIVED IN.  Do you not understand that states have been narrowing the documentation they'll accept? There are numerous states that don't just accept "some type of verification for an ID card" as you so jauntily put it, but are asking for a narrow range of very specific types of documents or ids that they'll accept...and then they say that signatures from one document to the next don't match, or they'll see a middle name spelled out on one document/id and given as an initial on another and reject the voter registration, or will say there's a hyphen missing here and reject it.

Do you just never read or listen to real news?  Please.
