I've no idea why Democrats would be uniformly against this bill, and Republicans uniformly in favor of it. I mean, so long as everyone is voting legally, who wouldn't be in favor of ...., er, making sure that...... um....

Never mind.

[LibLieSlayer]

ALL THAT THIS BILL WILL DO IS STOP THOSE THAT ARE NOT QUALIFIFED TO VOTE... FOR WHATEVER THE REASON THAT THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED UNDER LAW TO VOTE... FROM ILLEGALLY VOTING. ANYONE STATING ANYTHING ELSE IS A ****ING LIAR.

I bet these jagoffs have no problem producing ID to buy booze.

“This bill makes it more difficult for me to exercise my vote and my voice,” said UNCG junior Caleb Patterson. “The voter ID bill would add one more obstacle to vote, which will discourage students from voting.”

Translation: "I want illegals, and students who legally reside elsewhere, to be able to cast ballots HERE without challenge, so boo hoo, it's a violation of some basic right or other."

We are getting involved because we as young people are fighting for our right to vote

If it's such a problem for you, register absentee. Then you won't even have to leave your residence to vote.

A good reporter would’ve asked follow-up questions to all those airhead remarks.

“That’s a big joke,” said Adams, who attended the event along with Rep. Marcus Brandon. “This bill does in fact disenfranchise people. It will certainly impact and hurt you as students. It will hurt minorities and African-Americans. It will hurt the elderly. It will hurt a lot of people in our state.”

BS. How does it disenfranchise anybody? Students have to have ID in order to get into college (unless they are illegal aliens in which case they aren't eligible to vote anyway). The elderly have to have ID in order to cash their SS checks. The only people this will even inconvenience are the ones who want to be able to vote withoug having to prove they are who they claim to be and are in fact eligible to vote.

A voter ID bill would keep young people and the elderly from voting

Do these kids drive to school from back home wherever it is they came from?

Yes?

Then they can shut up.

Hey, Patterson, if you are in college, then you have a campus ID card....If you are smart enough to make it into college, then you have a drivers license probably, so how does your twisted little liberal mind figure that you cant produce that to vote?

If you peeked into that student clowns wallet, I'd bet big bucks that you'd find a photo ID.

Get a life, loser. Photo ID to vote is the law in FL and it works just fine and it should be the law everywhere.

“This bill makes it more difficult for me to exercise my vote and my voice,” said UNCG junior Caleb Patterson.

I bet Caleb had to show his ID to sign up for his college courses.

[Trueblackman]

This is pure bs, the law requires that all persons over the age of 18 have a state issued ID, when out in public! If a Police Officer orders you to produce ID, then what are you suppose to do and voting is done in a public place.

[SoldierDad]

BS - A voter ID bill would NOT prevent them from voting. College students must have ID to attend college, and the elderly also more often than not have ID as well.

“This is an assault on our voting rights.”

If this is "an assault on voting rights", how would you characterize all the hoops you have to jump through to exercise your RKBA?

“We are getting involved because we as young people are fighting for our right to vote, said N.C. A&T senior Mitchell Brown.

No one has a right to vote. A right exists in nature, and is not granted by the government. Voting is a privilege, which is obtained by meeting certain criteria established by law, such as citizenship and state residence. If you don't meet the criteria, or if you commit a crime resulting in a felony conviction, the govt won't give you the privilege of voting.

Let's just wait and photograph every 'disenfranchised' stoont with a (harder to get) beer, or (harder to get) cigarette.

Y'kin get the beer but'cha' can't get an ID?

What the hell are you doin' in college?

Your s'posed to be learnin' how to do this shit.

These little leftist college boobs are only doing what their sociology professor told them to do. If the reporter asked even one f-in question about their ID’s for school, driving etc, they would’ve stood with fingers up their butts without a clue (as is their usual pose I’m sure)

[arrdon]

College students should be PROHIBITED FROM PROTESTING ANYTHING and TOTALLY IGNORED. They’re the little bastards that are responsible for this bastardized situation we have in Washington right now. Unless you’re a valid citizen, educated, employed, and paying taxes, you have no desired input. SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
