Why can I hear a large percentage of the voter age black men in these regions saying shit like, "Nobody need to know my guv'mint name" or "Muh'fuckas trying to track you with that ID" or "I got warrants." Maybe it's an observation of how many of our peoples live on the fringes of society and being on the fringe, eventually take the stance of not wanting to be a part of society. It becomes a vicious cycle and the questions on how to solve them will overshadow these empty "rallies" and photo ops.
@nilent 5 million is quite an exact number of felons or ex-felons denied the right to vote through felony disenfranchisement. Thanks for the link btw.
@JimmyP013 I disagree respectfully, plus I know you wont agree, but should people tha poor really be voting on how to spend money the belongs to other people in taxe? I dont think its designed for blacks I think we both know that many illegal latinos will vote because of this. If you have to show id to buy beer, drive, or buy smokes I thinkshowing it for voting is only fair. Maybe the naacp should spend some of the money from the campaign to get id for people. how muc is a GA ID?
A Georgia ID costs as much money as a driver's license. And it requires means of identification that are not always easily obtained. This is no different from a poll tax intended to keep poor people from voting? The primary group without a state ID is young poor African-Americans! There is not benefit to motivate a person to try to vote twice; it is so rare that it has no affect. The real threat is Republican politicians tampering with voting machine technology!

This is no different from a poll tax intended to keep poor people from voting? In Georgia, the main group without proper ID are young poor African-Americans!
No one is saying you shouldn't have ID, that's NOT the issue! The issue is that Republicans are intentionally passing laws that demand particular TYPES of ID that resent onerous hurdles on the poor, elderly, the young and on oppressed minorities. We're talking about as many as FIVE MILLION PEOPLE being suppressed in their efforts to vote!

Thank you!!! This is great high quality video!!! I hope that whoever has it will simply put up the whole unedited rally up on the web. Blip.tv would let you put it up as a single long file for free. (if your you tube limits you to 10 minutes)
(I'm sure there are a few folks out there who could pay attention to 40 or so minutes :-)

The courts have upheld voter ID time after time after time. Even the SCOTUS upheld Indiana's voter ID law.
