Office that provides ID for voting in one Wisconsin burg is open 4 days in 2016, John Oliver says-- Rated Mostly True
http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2016/feb/19/john-oliver/office-provides-id-voting-one-wisconsin-burg-open-/

It isn't always this egregious, but this is an issue. Think about like the issue with illegal abortions, a rich person can travel to get one someplace else, a poor person does not always have that option.

Mostly the issue is this:

Proponents of Voter ID claim it will prevent voter fraud, but when pressed to prove fraud exists, they cannot. Voter ID is one of many franchise restrictions that disproportionately affects minority voters. North Carolina's legislature literally requested race data on voting practices and then legislated away those that were disproportionately used by blacks.

Don't forget the ID you need to have to get a state ID. A lot of adults don't have their birth certificates (or never had them, but that's a smaller and smaller demographic.) Getting a new copy of your birth certificate from North Carolina, for instance, costs you $24 sent by money order or certified check. People who work with the homeless and the very poor often have clients who don't even know what state they were born in, which makes it impossible to get a copy of the birth certificate. (When your parents are migrant workers, or just move around a lot, that can happen.) If you were born before the '90s, your parents didn't apply for a Social Security card at the hospital. If you've only ever worked cash jobs, you almost certainly don't have a Social Security card.

To get a California ID, you need:
* Your Social Security number
* One of driver's license/passport/birth certificate
* If your name doesn't match the birth certificate, you need a marriage certificate, name change document, or adoption papers
* Two documents proving your California residency, chosen from

* * Home utility bills.
* * Title or deed to your residence/property.
* * Pay stub from your employer.
(the full list is here; note that they've added "Letter on letterhead from a homeless shelter, a shelter for abused women, nonprofit entity, employer, faith-based organization, or government within the U.S. attesting that the applicant is a resident of California.", presumably for cases like my imaginary person.)

If you're working for cash and paying cash to your landlord, you won't have any of the finance-based ones, and will have to go find an organization that will write you a document.

Starting from scratch, Mrs. John Jones of Everyville, California needs her birth certificate ($24 from NC), her marriage certificate ($17 from Colorado), her social security card (free, but takes time), and then $28 for the California ID card. That's $69 to vote, and that is a hefty poll tax even before you add in time taken off from work to stand in line at the DMV. Which is why it should be illegal to require photo ID without making it free and easy to get photo ID.

I'm a white dude in Chicago and it was a bitch and a half to track down all the documents I needed for a new Illinois id. And the Chicago DMV isnt open three times a quarter.

There is no way, but Ivanka at least would be more acceptable in that A) she doesn't just say the first lovely thing that pops into her head B) She spares the GOP the legacy of having actually run Donald loving Trump in a Presidential election C) If she won (she wouldn't) she'd theoretically be easier to control or at least bargain with due to not being a mentally unstable narcissist.

I think a "hard correction" would require Trump to stop being Trump, which won't happen. But you will see a "soft correction" of Hillary's convention bounce fading, Trump's penalty from the Khan feud fading, and the Olympics distracting everyone. This should lead to the race settling back into an equlibrium of...I dunno, maybe Clinton +4 or so.

Crypto-Rump Roast
Small-town newspaper fights back against the Khans, transcribed from my hometown's weekly newspaper:

quote:

Guest Column: Michael Boren
The Danger of Islam

The Muslim religion (Islam) has always been a deadly danger to Judaism, Christianity and to Western Civilization. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ignoring the history of the religious, political and military ideology that has always been spread by the sword - by conquest. The Arabs believe, as the Bible states, that they are descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and his Egyptian concubine, named Hagar. Not all Muslims are Arabs, but nearly all Arabs are Muslims. The future of the Arabs is given concisely in one verse of Genesis, chapter 16, verse 12: "He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility towards all his brothers." This has been so very true for 4,000 years. Wars and fighting and rebellion of different Arabian tribes against other shave been a constant of history.

Indeed, the one fortunate feature for the world, as the darkness of a barbaric seventh-century desert sect seeps out of its arid birthplace, is the fact that the two great branches of Islam, Sunni and Shiite, hate each other, and will kill each other just as quickly as they will kill other "infidels." ISIS, grave danger that it is to all mankind, will never take Baghdad in the failed nation of Iraq, because ISIS is Sunni and 90% of the people of Baghdad are Shiite, and are supported by Iran, the center of Shiism. The Shiites know that only death awaits them from their Sunni "brothers" in ISIS, so they will fight them to the death.

Let us contrast the beginnings of Islam and Christianity. Jesus Christ and Mohammed, the founder of Islam, both had similar experiences as religious leaders. They both were rejected by their home towns when they brought different religious teachings back home. In the 4th chapter of Luke we see how Jesus was rejected by the people of Nazareth, and nearly killed by a mom, but he miraculously escaped. Mohammed had a similar experience some 600 years later when the people of Mecca rejected his new religious views. But the responses of Jesus and Mohammed to such rejection were very different. Jesus continued teaching in other cities and eventually gave his life as a perfect sacrifice for mankind. Mohammed fled to Medina, where he was assisted by a Jewish tribe (which he later exterminated) then eight years later, he returned to Mecca with an army, and killed anyone who would not submit to his new religion.

In the Koran, which is the holy book of Islam, which Mohammed says was given to him by the angel Gabriel, Muslim warriors are urged to follow jihad, which is war against infidels. They are given extra incentive to fight hard, as they are guaranteed to go straight to paradise if they die in jihad. In paradise the men are promised large number (70 or more?) of compliant virgins and all the wine they can drink (This is a religion which does not allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages.)

This is one reason why Islamic warriors (terrorists) are so dangerous. They are happy to blow themselves up in order to hurt and kill as many other people as possible. Don't let anyone deceive you: the concept of jihad has always been part of Islam, AND IT STILL IS. When Muslims blow themselves up, or fly airplanes into buildings, or are killed by law enforcement personnel after horrendous slaughters, they are not just crazy - no - they are following the precepts of their barbaric 7th century religion. And they expect to go straight to paradise.

In my next column I hope to present more of the history of the clash between Islam and the United States. Your homework assignment is to find out why United States Marines are called "Leathernecks," and why the "shores of Tripoli" is a phrase in the Marine Hymn.

Absolutely, thus the reason I haven't eaten any animals since I was seven years old. But elephants are in a much more precarious situation than pigs and those shitheads aren't actually eating the elephant-it's just pointless bloodshed. It's such a blatantly lovely thing to do that it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it.

I don't know what kind of person could see a beautiful creature like that and think "I'm going to inflict tremendous pain on it and its herd for no reason. gently caress yeah."

You have any more presidential polls coming up now that today's is out? Need to feed my poll and anecdote habit :drugnerd:

Just some GOP internal stuff targeting the Southwest. In Arizona, a lot of McCain fans are looking to split for Clinton, but a lot of diehard Trump Republicans are actually thinking of voting for Strickland to get McCain out of office. It's weird.

The Trump voters I've been talking to are getting more rabid and mean than in the past too. During the Primaries they were super polite, but now they keep asking me if I'm a "fag Democrat" or "globalist lackey." I'm usually safe dialing under my real name outside the Deep South, but I'm getting called a Kike even in Arizona now so I might need to pseudonym it up for Red States in general until November.
