cross check is a system that matches voter registrations from multiple states to find double voters

Okay ... before we go into this ... can we at least agree "Jim Crow Returns" is a horrible, inaccurate, and reckless title to use on this issue?

BTW ... Greg Palast is an old hat at The Guardian. He is most known for claiming (brace yourself for the irony) that fraud in the Florida recount gave the election to Dubya. And you're thinking he cried over this in 2000 right? Wrong. He said the election was rigged in both 2000 and 2004.

Nope. We're not going to agree on that.

Okay ... enlighten me. How is asking for ID when you vote (like you have to do just buy a BEER) or purging felonies/duplicates/dead people from the rolls the same as government institutionalized segregation.

Bought a bottle of Jack Daniels tonight after work. Had to show an ID. And I have lots of Gray Hair.

Booked a flight today. I'll have to show an ID to get past the TSA Checkpoint.

I'm voting tomorrow. Here's my Drivers License. Whoop De Damn Do.

Give me a break...

why do you think I didn't make any reference to that in the thread?

Al Jazeera has Zero credence in America. Maybe only if You are of Middle Eastern dissent and want to keep up with news from back home.
