Strange.

Democrats are usually adamantly opposed to voter ID laws.

I've never understood why. /s

Go Hispanics! They’ll be a lot more conservative than black (or white)Dems.

It’s interesting to see that the Dems are totally opposed to voter ID unless they think it will benefit them.

In this case, I’d say it probably won’t, but being a Dem means never having to say you’r sorry...

RI is an interesting state. It is not nearly as liberal at heart as it seems. It is great that blacks are starting to wakeup to the cost of illegal immigration.

“It is great that blacks are starting to wakeup to the cost of illegal immigration”

That would have been the loss of two black legislators to two Hispanics. LOL

Our elections will continue to be fiascos until EVERYONE is required to show an I.D. in order to vote and steps are taken to stop the dead from voting and the piggies from voting multiple time. Right now, our “elections” are a big joke. If you are such a lowlife that you can’t produce an I.D. to vote, you shouldn’t be voting anyway.

Man, have you ever got that right.

Of course, saying "I'm sorry" requires a conscience, or at least a functioning level of intellectual honesty, neither of which burden any liberal.

I’ve known a number of Hispanics via the Air Force career and it will shock people that a vast number of Hispanics tend to be Catholic and family-orientated. You might find a first generation family leaning toward the Democrats...but I think it goes the other direction. In the long run...I don’t think this is a four-star strategy.

The question isn’t why the Democrats are so against any kind of voter ID; it’s why did they support this in RI.

Wouldn’t it be great if the Democrats cared as much about avoiding disenfranchising real voters by preventing vote fraud as they care about all those imaginary voters who somehow can’t get IDs?

Democrats react to voter ID laws like a vampire to garlic.

Pardon the OT post, but "State Rep. Anastasia P. Williams, a Providence Democrat...considers herself both African-American and Latino."

Wow, a trifecta! Female, AA, AND Latino. Is she gay perchance?

Not only has a pig just flown by my window but now I am aware of the Cape Verdean-Americans vulnerabilities to vote fraud. Who knew?

I’ll know the New Millenium has arrived when Chicago starts asking for an id. State law allows it and many communities around the City require them but I have never been asked for an id in 43 yrs of voting.

Now there’s a concept. Let’s persuade blacks and Hispanics to support anti-fraud efforts to prevent each other from rigging elections. Won’t that burn the shorts of the leftists?

4473 style paperwork and NICS background check for all voting. This will cure much of the voter fraud out there and anyone that doesn’t support it cannot in good faith support the same to buy a gun.

If it’s good enough to justify owning a gun, it’s good enough to justify to vote.

Hmmm,

So blacks there are worried about Hispanics displacing them. Ok, makes sense. But then how would Voter ID help, when we’re ALWAYS being told that there is no fraud? Perhaps many of these new Hispanic voters haven’t quite gotten around to taking an oath of citizenship...perhaps?
