Why do black voters have such a hard time presenting a valid ID?

They don’t. It’s white liberals who think they do.

How do you survive in society with no proof of who you are?

I=I just do not understand how you can exist in society with no ID at all.

Good, I hope this “voter suppression law” causes the liberal entertainment industries to leave Georgia and lefties stay out of Georgia. Then maybe the state won’t be Democrat anymore.

I agree with MLB. It’s ridiculous that the ONLY thing that you have to have an ID for is voting. It’s also terrible how black people are consistently denied access to ID’s.

/sarcasm geez

MFing lie. See MS Covid stats. We have the largest percentage of African Americans in the US. The number of Covid cases and deaths in Mississippi go almost straight down ethnic percentage lines give or take a percent. This is a tricking lie perpetrated by our state controlled media to keep blacks in fear and dependent on daddy government(Democrats), and was a ploy to say Trump is a white supremacist because he didn't care about Covid which kills all black people. Don't believe this shite.

If you're going to argue that Republicans don't want Black people to vote because they vote for Democrats, then you need to also ask why they vote Democrat. And why Republicans aren't interested in winning their vote as opposed to suppressing it.

You need to research LBJ and the great society he implemented to realize why blacks vote so disproportionately democrat. “I’ll have these n****** voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” Yeah, a democrat president said that. He is the culprit for the constant victim mentality and the need for a “suppressed” underclass. Yet, here we are 50-something years later and democrats still haven’t done a damn thing for blacks except keep the victim mentality alive against those evil, racist republicans.

We actually just recently had a president who DID assist minorities by giving them the lowest unemployment rates in history. His economic policies lifted all races instead of pitting people against each other through identity politics.

How ironic that a lack of voter ID laws is what got rid of him and here we are, back at square one. It’s a vicious cycle and your ilk are the ones who truly want to keep blacks suppressed so we can blame whitey and Republicans.

Here’s the thing though ... Georgia isn’t a Democrat state. They completely rigged the November and January elections with fake, “mail in” votes and everyone knows it.

Georgia is very much a red state.

Are these laws not already in place in most states? Every time I’ve ever voted (in LA) I show my ID and sign my name next to my printed name in that binder they have.

Do other states just let you roll up and walk straight in the booth or something?

This. Democrats have done more to keep black Americans kicked down than any other group. Democrats are pure scum.

The all-star game has been become a joke anyways. They used to care about it and winning it for the league you were in. Inter-league play has hurt the all-star game and the World Series. It has become a meaningless exhibition game with no pride on the line.

You just equated having to simply prove who you, a thing we all do (regardless of race) multiple times a day for virtually everything we do, with having to pay to vote.

You're dumb.

Anyone arguing that requiring ID to vote is racist because not all blacks have ID, is looking at this the wrong way.

Requiring ID to vote is logical.

If you think the black community has a hard time getting an ID, then spend your resources and time helping that community get a goddamn ID.

Which would be an easy fix, right?

Which kind of makes you wonder why they choose the alternative route of suggesting having one is not only unimportant but requiring one is racist. It's almost as if the side clamoring about this is counting on the ability of votes coming in that do not need to be verified...

I always thought it was fairly easy to vote for the All-Star game. I guess different rules in Georgia. Surprising since Braves usually represented well in the game.
