NAACP takes U.S. voter ID issues to the UN

[MADem]

8. The issue is TIME. I agree with you entirely about shifting perceptions.

I don't think the NAACP is wasting their time entirely, but I hope they've got a crew over at Justice raising Cain too~!

We need Holder to throw down and call this what it is--targeting people owing to race, economic status and age (the elderly often do not have picture IDs, either). And we know which way these groups they are targeting vote. People's civil and voting rights are being violated with targeted tactics that are only slightly less obvious than charging a damn poll tax (those ID cards are not free, they cost a bit less than a license, and people have to get to the motor vehicle registry--a bus ride or a cab for people who don't have a car--stand in line, pay for the card, then get home) and the clock is ticking.

We need this issue resolved in our favor before the first Tuesday in November. It's TIME that is making me nervous. Maybe that million bucks Bill Maher donated needs to be used to buy state ID cards for people in certain zip codes.

I swear, I think the GOP are total scum. This is just beyond low, what they are doing. No shame.
