Texas GOP Pushing Bill to Suppress 1/3 Of All Female Voters In Bid To Stop Wendy Davis

[KingpinOG]

texas will become a blue state because the huge explosion of people moving here from blue states, not by hispanics or wendy davis. hispanic population in texas is easily brainwashed and blacks dont buy into bullshyt.

The American population is shifting from blue states (Midwest, Northeast) to red states (south, west). Yet the people fleeing blue states want to continue to vote Democratic.

Don't they realize that the reason they are leaving their shytty states is because of Democrats???? Why move to the south where the economy is booming and continue to vote for the same shytty politicians that are ruining cities like Cleveland, Detroit, etc????

to people who support this, why is a birth certificate or maiden name id inadequate?

I don't think how many people understand how conservative hispanics tend to be....

Hispanics are a solid Democratic party voting bloc for the most part and always have been. How "conservative" they are is neither here nor there.

i think i may have told this story on that old site, but now that we have some coli folks who i dont recognize, i might as well retell it. and yes, it paints republican voter id efforts in a bad light, LOL

when my dad was a little kid, william rehnquist (yeah, the supreme court justice) tried to keep black people from voting in phoenix. he was telling black people they had to pass a literacy test with him before going into the polling place. a very large black woman beat the shyt out of him and a sherriff had to save him. now that is something that will never end up in a history book, but my dad saw this with his own eyes

whine about the constitution but suppress voters, brehs!

I actually work on Wendy's campaign, and I can clarify some of this.

- First of all, yes, demographically, Texas can become blue in the next couple of elections. We have a strategy, and we know exactly who we are going after. The first thing to realize is that no one really knows what kind of state Texas is. Texas is a red voting state, not a red state. Republican turnout is great and is basically how they win. The traditional demographic of democrats in Texas has the numbers to win. Our goal is to get voter registration info right and to get to women. We are out in low turnout areas every day, every weekend getting these people registered.

- yall have no idea how fired up women are about this woman. Republican women from conservative counties are coming out the closet. i've personally heard plenty of these stories. The women's vote is still represse via household influence. But I think Wendy really emboldens these women for some reason. This has really been the biggest surprise for me. lots of people from out of state jumping on that wagon too. Wendy may not win, but she will be a political celebrity. She has a great story. She might be 4 years too early, but I think the national party really wants to groom her. I think she scares the hell out of the Republican party because her voting record in the state senate IS bi-partisan. She has been a prolific author of legislation that Repubs like.

- the voter ID stuff is BS. part of it is, how hard it is to get an ID. Voting is a right for citizens, meaning you're born with the idea as a citizen that when you are 18, the burden is on the state to identify your right not to vote. These conservative groups have done everything they can to reverse that. They are trying to catch women on some bs, like their initials or spelling of name isn't exact. That's why we are out there, not just registering voters, but making sure everyone on both sides have their info correct.

- Can Wendy win? We think so, but its an uphill battle. The biggest fight is going against the misinformation about where she stands on issues. I'm sorry, but I can't respect the game these conservatives are playing. She can be on their side on an issue, and in the case of the land rights bill from a couple of years ago, that she authored, be hand in hand with their own representatives, and they will try to spin her into something she isn't. Like I said, she is feared. We've found out some of their plants already. They are truly shook.

Crazy how some of these nyggas go out of their way to defend blatant efforts to disenfranchise them.

Back in the day they would've been defending the "Literacy" tests imposed in some states (like Alabama and Louisiana) talking about "How hard is it to pass the test? If you can't pass it then you don't deserve to vote!".

lmao @ the spin in this thread but the couple resident black republicans, they just barely touch on the topic of the thread then spin it into "well liberals do stuff like this all the time" and "democrats are ruining this country, look at cleveland and detroit"

are you guys trolling or are you so stuck in the "them VS us" mentality that you cant for one second have a real discussion about anything?

How hard it is to get a fukking drivers license.

Much harder in Texas than in other states, since most counties in the state don't even have a DMV. But that's a distraction- the question is why an ID other than a proof of birth would be necessary.

 

[The_Sheff]

Most women dont go change their photo ID right after they get married. They wait until its time to renew it then have the name switched. I see no reason why a birth certificate isnt sufficient.
