   @Arthur_500 @futurebird tobacco is not an explicitly enumerated constitutional right, my friend

     No one is suppressing any vote

     Its like saying you can but tobacco but you have to show tou are of appropriate age. No one is denying the appropriate person their purchase. There is no color, creed, sexual orientation, etc.

     Simply prove you qualify

     If people are too stupid to register in advance then get out and educate the morons.

     You have no basis for your claim of suppressing the vote

     @Arthur_500 Voter suppression steals our votes and voices. It’s taking power that you do not deserve and have not earned. If you can only win by cheating you have no business being in the running. You lack the basic integrity required to participate.

     @futurebird

     I get tired of stupid complaints about how blacks (the only poor) are too incompetent to obtain proper ID. They are too incompetent to register to vote - unless they are planning to vote for Obama (i’m a vote fo the brotha).
     Somehow inly they can attempt to vote on voting day and can’t have a legitimate address

     How condescending! I think anyone with such arguments is a racist

     Good news a from NC. Republicans passed a law that required a postcard be sent to the address of any person who took advantage of same-day registration, if the card was undeliverable by the post office the vote would be thrown out.
     (The voter would *not* even be notified this happened.)

     Like many voter suppression laws, it almost sounds sensible: if you don't think about it much.

     On closer inspection, it is designed to target poor, minority and/or young voters. 1/
