How dare we make sure people don't vote more than once. Whiney, hypocritical, spineless liberal scum can go to hell.

@Gregorypeckory so did you comment on those videos then?

@mophosophical Look at the education system in America. Purposely keeping the public stupid, so they can screw them. If the America people knew the truth, we wouldn't have all this BS going on in our political system.

how are the people checking her id supposed to know this stuff? if the id doesnt pass the id does NOT PASS. its not rocket science. if the id does not pass how can they be sure shes not even a citizen in the first place. now that everyone has all the info and whatnot you can all sit here judging. ids are supposed to be up to date and proper for a REASON. if you cant PROVE who you are then fuck off and come back with proof.

This is why the Democrats are bought. If they truly cared, they would've been shouting off the rooftops about these strategies by the GOP. Instead some of them make weaksauce claims about it being racialist.

No. It's flat-out anti-democracy, that is inherently racist.

@Gregorypeckory B.S. You can vote IF you WANT to. Nothing has ever stopped that. Yes there is lots of messed up voter fraud that has happened in elections and our gov't and politicians are corrupt, etc. There are many issues. But this shiz is NOT one of them. This is a distraction. S.M.H.

[Gregorypeckory]

I agree with this vid, and some of your others on politics, but I watched a couple of your gossip vids, and apparently you think it's cute to be nasty and cruel. The smirks on your smug faces as you discussed Amy Winehouse's drug and boyfriend problems, while showing appalling photos of her after a beating, in voices dripping with amused contempt made me want to smack you both. We might have some politics in common, but taking glee in others' suffering? Disgusting and shameful.

@THEGLASSOFMILK2 Demographic information is available on races, and surprise: the white people have more money, and more of them vote republican than non-whites. Of course there are many exceptions; but the data is valid, and can sway elections. The point of the video is that republicans tip election results their way by making it harder for races that tend to be less well off to vote. Not hard at all to understand, and undeniably true.
