Democrats suggest minorities sleep in late and are illiterate

According to Democrats, 25% of black people carry no form of identification, sleep late in the day, and are illiterate. Nearly 200 Democratic lawmakers recently wrote state election officials urging them to not to let the new laws jeopardize voters' rights. These new laws require more states to check ID's to cast a vote, and to close the polls a few hours earlier than usual. Do you understand this means that Democrats believe minorities don't carry ID's, and sleep in too late to make it to the voting booths? Why is this not apparent to you? You don't think this is racist? At first blush, it seems as though they are defending minorities, but that's not what is happening. They are insulting minorities. They are using the guise of helping minorities vote without an ID, because they are too illiterate to obtain an ID. Read the entire story below.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) on Wednesday night said Republican governors and legislatures are purposefully pressing for the enactment of voter identification laws in order to suppress Democratic voter turnout in the 2012 election.

"State legislatures are attempting to impose voting restrictions that are the modern day equivalent of poll taxes and literacy tests," she said on the House floor. "We cannot allow state legislatures to drag our nation backward in what is nothing more than a political quest to protect their governing majority's interests."

Both sides are awaiting decisions from the U.S. Justice Department on whether new voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina violate a section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Under the law, certain states with a history of discriminatory voting practices must get approval from Justice Department officials before making election changes.

Mississippi is the 31st state to approve a tougher voter ID law during the last decade, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Nearly 200 mostly Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Bennie Thompson of Bolton, recently wrote state election officials urging them to not to let the new laws jeopardize voters' rights.

Democrats and civil rights groups warn that millions of voters, mostly minorities, may be turned away at the polls next year if they don't have the required ID.

"Voting rights are under attack in America,'' said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. The new laws are "slowly robbing Americans of a basic constitutional right,'' he said.

Supporters of the laws, mostly Republicans, say they help prevent fraudulent practices such as casting ballots under the names of dead people.
