Tough
voter ID laws all across America that has recently passed by Republicans, is
hindering the American people that wish to exercise their right to vote and be
counted. It’s not Democrats that’s crying, it’s Republicans too.
In this video clip you will see an example of what's happening across America.
A
recently articles prove just that in Indiana, Georgia and Tennessee, When
Edward and Mary Weidenbener went to vote in Indiana's primary in May, they
didn't realize that state law required them to bring government photo IDs such
as a driver's license or passport.
The husband and wife, both approaching 90, had to use a
temporary ballot that would be verified later, even though they knew the people
working the polling site that day.
Edward
Weidenbener, a World War II veteran who had voted for Mitt Romney in the
Republican presidential contest, said he was surprised by the rules and the
consequences.
"A
lot of people don't have a photo ID," he said. "They'll be
automatically disenfranchised."
As
more states put in place strict voter ID rules, an AP review of temporary
ballots from Indiana and Georgia, which first adopted the most-stringent
standards, found that more than 1,200 such votes were tossed during the 2008
general election.
But
come 2012 general election the count could be much higher. During sparsely attended primaries this year in
Georgia, Indiana, and Tennessee, the states implementing the toughest laws,
hundreds more ballots were blocked.
The
numbers suggest that the legitimate votes rejected by the laws are far more
numerous than are the cases of fraud that advocates of the rules say they are
trying to prevent.
More
than two dozen states have some form of ID requirement, and 11 of those passed
new rules over the last two years, largely at the urging of Republicans who say
they want to prevent fraud.
Democrats
and voting-rights groups fear that ID laws could suppress votes among people
who may not typically have a driver's license and, disproportionately, affect
the elderly, the poor, and minorities.
This
is not voter fraud prevention as Republicans call it, this a new “Poll Tax” on
the minorities and seniors in America. Republicans wants to block the votes
that don’t favor their party. Once again this is about the select few and
cheating to win. It’s clear that the Republicans are not playing a fair game.
They continue to deceive the American people, be misleading and corrupt the
government.
