So claims a labor union president.

Quote:The GOP is working desperately to deny the right to vote to citizens it doesn’t like. You know, poor people, black people, Hispanic people, old people, female people, especially people it believes are inclined to vote for Democrats.

You want to know why democracies fail? It's liars like this.

Keep it up leftists. You're tearing down the US, and are likely to get the war you've been pushing for.

funny cuz it's true:

"In 2011, both houses of the Texas Legislature were controlled by large Republican majorities, and their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats.6 It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates. (“[A] jurisdiction may engage in constitutional political gerrymandering, even if it so happens that the most loyal Democrats happen to be black Democrats"

I like how Jon cherrypicks and pretends that Democrats don't gerrymandy every chance they get as well.

Typical.

I would just like to point out that the question posed in the picture and the "answer" given have nothing to do with each other.

The questions posed is voter id laws supprese votes.

The "answer" talks about blacks wanting the gravy train to continue.

In the 2012 house elections Democratic candidates received 1.5 million more votes than their Republican counterparts, and yet the Republicans sent 33 more members to congress than their Democratic counterparts.

Lemme guess that stat doesn't count either because it's "cherry picked"

the interview that that quote came from was about vote ID laws suppressing the vote. It was Mr. Yelton who couldn't seem to stay on topic. The law that he is referring to in that quote is in fact a voter ID law.

Republicans 43%

Texas

That may be the case but that Picture is a non sequitur.

In either case the answer he gives has nothing to do with voter suppression. Its not hard to get an id.

I dont understand how that is unreasonable to ask for an ID to vote.

Keep it up leftists. You're tearing down the US, and are likely to get the war you've been pushing for.

fearmongering??????? Know thy name.

the question had absolutely EVERYTHING to do with voter ID laws. That was the question asked. The "answer" was where things went down the welfare talking point.

Not really, Democrats supposedly manipulate votes to there advantage. Whether this is true or not it doesn't matter because the perception is that they do. So when he is saying this he is speaking to the manipulation of votes and if there are voter id laws it is going to hurt the democratic party.

Again though i don't see how requiring a ID to vote is an obstacle. Its not like there is a reading requirement or land owning requirement. It is a 5-10 dollar expense in most states to get an ID.
