This is nuts. The two issues aren’t even close.
No one is saying black folk cannot vote. But if you have to provide ID to buy booze or get on an airplne or a train, you can bloody well supply one to exercise the franchise legally.
Good Lord.
I vote using a mail in ballot. But there was a time when I would go to my local polling place to vote and every time I did I was asked for my ID. Not once was I offended or thought that unfair. But then, I think logically; I’m not a liberal.
I worked in banking for over 20 years~if there were two forms of I.D needed to cash some “hand out” check~~they had all the I.D. needed!
If you went out to a town of 10,000 residents, and did a survey....I think you’d find about ten people (US citizens) in the town who don’t have a photo ID of some type. I wouldn’t have a problem with the city or state offering up free ID’s and even a free lunch (out of my own state tax revenue), to settle up the problem at hand.
I would also say in the city of Washington DC....there are probably 3,000 folks without photo IDs....mostly all homeless. That’s a separate issue unto itself.
