Not according to Eric Holder!
The Fairmount Ave. polling station is about a mile and half from my house.
God I would love to bring a cameraman and confront them in November but I'll hopefully be at OCS then.

Wait so he's going around complaining that Virginia and Texas are creating laws trying to stop black people from voting, when in Philadelphia there are actually marauding posses harassing people who vote for the wrong party?

ARMED posses. Dude was carrying a baton.
You don't know how much I want to look for them come November and confront them on camera but hopefully I'll be at OCS by then.

How exactly would they do that? I could be wrong but I'm assuming Philadelphia isn't so backwards that it doesn't even have the secret ballot yet.

They can profile people to guess who they'd vote for, then beat them up later. Like if a Cuban guy comes up, you know he's probably voting Republican.

They probably beat up everybody who isn't black, in case some white guy cast an absentee ballot. I'm going to join an opposing organization that dons white sheets and hoods so that I can make my race war fantasies come true
Reports were that people were turning away from the station.
Voter intimidation doesn't require actual physical violence all the time. Look at the Jim Crow-era South.

Obvious troll is obvious. We don't have organized crime syndicates running our elections.

What about the republican party?

That's ****ing priceless. A poll tax? Get out.

The Supreme Court actually ruled they were a poll tax which is why they legally now have to give away the IDs for free. Currently there is another court case pending claiming they're really not free because to get the free ID you have to show copies of documents such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate/name change forum, etc... Those supporting documents can cost up to $50 each so the claim being made is that the ID isn't really free because to get the "free" ID you have to shell out up to $150 to get copies of the documents. It will be interesting to see how the court rules.

How the hell can someone not homeless even function in today's society legally without ANY legal documents? Like really...
If this law disenfranchises homeless people, so be it (though don't they need an address to register to vote period?) and frame the debate in such a manner. Anything else is absurd.

A few weeks ago, a Democratic Committeewoman came to my door with the voter registration roll. She pointed to my name and asked if this was me. She then moved her finger to the 'R' and, after a few seconds pause, asked, "Did you mean to have this here?" and then wanted to debate with me about politics saying she was going to change my opinion.
I was actually offended by her language. When she asked me about jobs going overseas, she used the term 'Chinks' profusely (she's an older Black woman). I called her out on her racism and she just said 'no, I'm not prejudiced against anyone. I have no hate for anyone. I follow the Lord Jesus Christ'.
It's a small thing but what gives with a Democratic Committeewoman coming to my house because she doesn't like that there is a Republican in her precinct and using such offensive language in my home?

There have been several cases in which election laws were ruled to violate the equal protection clause by requiring voters to have a "traditional residence," and the solution is usually to allow the homeless to list a shelter, park, street corner, etc. as their residence.
1) Bullshit. Are you saying to throw open the doors and let the countless illegal aliens vote? If so, FU.
2) Bullshit II They're fortunate that they have extended hours to vote. Employers have to let you go vote. If you choose to wait, or vote early, that's on you. It's to facilitate YOUR schedule, and you're lucky that it's done at all.

The constitution forbids a poll tax, so you can't make people pay money to vote. Sorry if that annoys you.

Voter fraud is not nearly as serious of a problem as some Republicans make it out to be, Slowwy. Only a tard like you would think that to protest against quasi-poll taxes and restricted registration means I support illegals to vote.
I am angry because someone in line in front of me at Subway ordered a sandwich that I do not like, even though it has no effect on me. This is how arguments against equal marriage rights sound.
Asking for an I.D. isn't that much of a task, 'tard. It has NOTHING to do with paying jackshit, other than what a normal resident pays.

I'll accept the argument that it is technically a poll tax to charge for the ID, but let's be fair here, it's pretty negligible.

Hey here's a question for you anti-ID folk...
Let's say I have a friend named George Anderson who lives in the Germantown neighborhood of Philly, or I just looked him up online. I go to his polling place and say I'm George Anderson and I don't have an ID. I vote. I then go to South Philly armed with the name of Richard Sanchez and vote for him then go to...
Could I have been committing voter fraud for years now?
