4:51Now PlayingVoter suppression is real, folks, and Republican lawmakers are going to stop at nothing to keep it in play heading into November. And things are going to turn out very badly for Democrats if the GOP is allowed to get away with this. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
Via ThinkProgress: ‘When it comes to voter ID laws, conservative leaders can’t seem to stick to the “voter fraud” script.
Jim DeMint, the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation and former senator from South Carolina, became the latest in a growing list of Republican lawmakers who have admitted the real intention of voter ID laws. In an interview last week, the Tea Party leader asserted that the laws have shifted elections toward conservative candidates because they are blocking Democratic voters.
Though most conservatives will state publicly that the intention of these laws is to combat purported “voter fraud,” study after study and multiple investigations have found that voter fraud is virtually non-existent. Meanwhile, voter ID laws are proven to keep people — disproportionately minorities, young voters, and low-income people — from the polls.’
