NBC’s Today Accuses GOP of Minority Voter Suppression
newsbusters ^ | 11/04/2016 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 11/04/2016 8:37:26 AM PDT by DFG

On Thursday’s NBC Today, correspondent Ronan Farrow devoted a five-minute report to promoting liberal claims of Republicans trying to suppress Democratic voter turnout on election day by targeting minority groups with voter ID laws. Farrow warned: “According to one recent survey, one in five voters lives in a state that requires photo ID to vote but don’t know it....a wave of new laws making it tougher than ever just to cast a ballot.”

He highlighted one victim of the policy: “Charda Hanamadas lives in Wisconsin. She's a mother of three and a public schoolteacher. And this year she was told she wouldn't be able to vote.” A soundbite played of Hanamadas declaring: “I just felt so stunned and disenfranchised and angry. I should be able to, you know, go to my middle school two blocks from my house and be able to cast my vote just like every other American....I’m heartbroken.”

This is just a tactic to scare blacks , and let them think they are being denied , in order to get more out to vote.
They know blacks are not happy with the old hag, and are trying the race, and sexism card.

Has anyone heard her speeches in the last month?
I tortured myself, and not once did she ever lay out how or what she was going to do. All it was in her speech was to attack Trump and tell minorities and women they are being victimised.

Correspondent Ronan Farrow???? Isn’t the characterization of “Correspondent” a little stretch on this failed Child of Star?

Correct me if I’m wrong....but don’t you have to have an I.D.
to register to vote in the first place?

There, fixed it.

How the hell can a public school teacher NOT have a state-issued ID? WTH?

I am old enough to remember when NBC actually reported news, rather than fake human interest attacks on our institutions.

Sad, how far they have fallen. If the woman is so ill informed, how does she even qualify to teach children.

But, it is not a crime to be fantasy driven. So let that pass.

However, it is surely time to Drain The Swamp!

I’m telling you, the Dems internal polling on Blacks and other minorities must have completely collapsed. They are now flailing about trying to agitate the minority base to get out the vote.

Maybe Blacks have finally figured out that the Clintons don’t care about them for anything but their vote. But NBC would never think of that, because they consider Blacks to be stupid, too.

Take her IL DL to the DMV and whatever else she needs and she will get a WI DL. Or, a WI ID.

2 kids w/chronic illness. She must have ID if they are on any public medical assistance. You can be employed and own a home to qualify, especially for kids/chronic illness.

She’s naturalized. So was my father, in 1923. He always kept his papers handy. Never had a problem with any ID & worked for the Federal government w/a Secret clearance (Treasury Department).

The kids with only a passport, but “it’s at home”? Walk home and come back. Every kid I know since the 1960s got a DL. Everyone on Food Share has ID. Everyone on Medicare has ID. How did they get into university w/o ID?

So bogus.

Besides: 31 instances of voter fraud (ha!) is nothing, but 5 instances of lacking ID is catastrophic? Puh-leez.

Even if it were a private school, surely it would require a photo ID just to apply? If not, they’ve got a bigger problem than her not being able to vote.

Mean, racists GOP is calling attention to the busloads of paid voters going from polling station to polling station to cast serial votes, and the trunkloads of pre-filled ballots that are being deployed to one address in certain districts.

She did not provide photo id for her job?

Is the school system breaking the law?

After seeing this video its too bad people do not talk directly to people.

The races do not naturally live together peacefully, throughout time.

When we talk one on one, the world changes.

I hate the race baiting coming from the left. It hurts the black community the most.

If voter ID was truly preventing people from voting, the Democrats would have long ago unleashed yet another welfare bureaucracy to provide a federal ID, valid in all 50 states, to all who wanted one. What's another billion-dollar agency to them if it gets people to the polls?

But it isn't a problem and never has been. They want NO IDs at all and a myriad of other provisions such as same-day registration (where nothing can be checked at that moment) to compromise the integrity of elections.

That's all this is.

Cry me a river. You have to have an ID to drive, buy tobacco or cigarettes, get on an airplane, or cash a check, but it’s just too hard to get one to vote.

Frank Sinatra’s kid doth protest to much.

They never seem to have a problem obtaining an Id for welfare or to board a plane or to borrow a library book.
