The signature exemplar system is the best way to avoid voter fraud at the polls. But it doesn’t suppress voting rights and allows all registered voters to vote. So unpatriotic Republicans hate it.
Russian Meddling is nothing new.....

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting to get a different result, which is one of the many reasons President Trump’s news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed so insane. Trump is trying to do something that both of his immediate predecessors tried to do: turn over a new leaf with Russia. They both failed, and so will he.
Recall that George W. Bush entered the White House promising to end the “dead ideological rivalry” of the Cold War. At a 2001 summit with Putin in Slovenia, Bush declared, “I looked the man in the eye. I found him very straightforward and trustworthy — I was able to get a sense of his soul.” President Barack Obama tried to appease Putin by giving in to the Russian leader’s demands that we cancel our missile-defense plan with Poland and the Czech Republic — and did it on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland. And while serving as Obama’s secretary of state, Hillary Clinton humiliated herself when she gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a giant red button with the word “reset” on it (which, adding insult to injury, misspelled the Russian word for “reset” to read “overload”).
It is now Trump’s turn to learn the hard way that Russia is an adversary, not a competitor. His summit with Putin was a moment that called for presidential strength. It came on the heels of the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence agents for intervening in the 2016 election and of Russia’s brazen use of a banned chemical weapon on British soil, which resulted last week in the death of a British citizen. But instead of condemning these actions, Trump refused to acknowledge or denounce the fact of Russia’s election interference, and he publicly sided with Putin over his own intelligence community. It was a position he wisely retracted on Tuesday, declaring what he should have said standing next to Putin: “I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place.”

It's not about intelligence, it's about social barriers such as ... having a job that won't give you time off to go; not having the documentation needed, for example because you were born in a rural farm and not a hospital; not having transportation or child care; having to move too soon before election day.
the blacks in vid prove you're full of shit...……..

How hard is it to do it every time you move if you move several times a year? What if there is no local DMV for 40 miles and you don't have a car?

Nah, Ms. Horowitz is misrepresenting matters to them and ignoring that she is speaking to urban Ivy Leaguers and not with poor people in rural areas or inner cities.

Few poor minorities live outside city limits. Try again.
Move several times a year? We don't need squatters voting.

This is what it comes down to ... you don't want poor people voting. Many poor minorities live outside city limits. Look at a map of the Navajo Nation some time, observe how big it is and where it is relative to cities with DMV offices.

What it comes down to is Democrats want easy votes. The NA reservation vote is what? Half a percent?
EatTheRich
President
The proportion of the national population living on reservations is more like 1/3 of 1 percent, not sure about the vote what with the voter suppression. But here in Montana, for example, it's about 4% if only counting Native Americans ... more than enough to tip any tight election.

I disagree. Minorities are as capable as anyone as scraping up 30$ and finding the local DMV. It is offensively racist saying they cant manage a simple task in life.

The exact same argument could be made to argue that the poll tax wasn't racist. BTW we all know the voter ID laws don't disfranchise all minorities who would otherwise be legally able to vote. But about 11% of U.S. citizens, and about 25% of Black Americans, don't have an ID acceptable for voting under the Koch brothers' model voter suppression law. The gap between white and Black voting rates is nearly 3 percentage points higher in states with voter ID laws than in those without.

Why? Are you being racist by saying blacks are incapable of getting an ID card?

It's unconstitutional because the only constitutional requirements for voting is being above the age 18.

American citizens aren't constitution required to get a ID. They do have a constitutional right to vote.
