Fmr. Texas Lawmaker Explains How Democrats Can Push Back Against Voter Laws
*4 seconds to midnight…* butz thenz… the eye is gone… and… the tail end… comes sweeping in….
Even with freedom…you have laws.
HAHAHAHA WHAT?! Are you stupid?! We burned cities down and no police will stop us! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-liberals
@17 Accounts Removed only magas view the BLM activist as “liberals” and not “civil rights activist”. you do realize that they arent a political movement right?
@crazyacorns 117 no he doesn’t him stupid
@17 Accounts Removed another fake account
Just common sense everyone in every state needs an Id to vote.
@John Bruce “Fascists”? You’re just being “toxic” 🤣 See? Hyperbolic language goes both ways.
I’ve shown my DL ID in Texas to vote in every election since the early 80’s.
@John Bruce I mean we’re one of the strongest and greatest countries in the world right we should have some of the strongest strictest hardest voting laws also
@John Bruce how is it fascist?
@John Bruce Another person who calls anyone who disagrees with them a fascist without any knowledge of what the word even means.
They can call voter ID “JIM EAGLE” ! 😂🤣😂🤣
Rural people can’t photocopy IDs and inner city people can’t even get an ID. This is what your leaders think of you. They think you’re stupid.
it has more to do with out of state students and workers not having ID for the state they are temporarily working or going to school in
@crazyacorns 117 _That’s_ what mail-in voting is for, and you should still need an ID which is easy to get for everyone.
@Liberty They all see the citizens as the same so with that said the Republicans aren’t no different from the Democrats because they all lie and don’t care about nothing but your vote and once they get that they throw you away. Put God, before all and you’ll feel better
@crazyacorns 117 It’s called apply for an absentee ballot
@crazyacorns 117 it has MOST to do with a “study” in which a university made 600 phone calls and determined some of those people said they didn’t have a valid ID at that moment to vote and the majority were minority voters. 600 phone calls and you have a national movement. Garbage in garbage out.
Patheic spin for narrative.
By hiding in broom closets 😂
You can easily acquire a crappy ’87 Cutlass with 36 inch rims, but can’t acquire a driver’s license 🤔
or the newest iphone
Haha
Too funny
The bigotry of low expectations. “Having to prove who you are to vote is racist!” Makes me wonder if they can even win a fair election. Judging by their words and actions I’m guessing no.🇺🇸
No, republicans know they cannot win a fair election. That is why they are trying to rig the system
I’m not against needing ID to vote.
I am against needing to PAY for that ID.
@John Roberts 👈Rode the little bus to school 🤤
@Littleman Your name says alot 👐🤡
BS. They are traitors. Deal with them accordingly!
Convicted felons on parole aren’t allowed to vote. I thought everyone knew that.
Ironic…if I say I don’t want to play…I get fired….
they shouldnt get paid for the timeoff they’re taking 🙂
maybe don’t be lazy and get the documents you need and get to where you need to be to vote?
Black people don’t know how to get online, to get in line – Quid pro Joe
Time to vote out the temper tantrum group.
Why do you need to push back on voter security? Oh right, because Biden clearly won.
Why would honest hard working Americans not want elections to be honest.
Fire them all, if I don’t show up to work I get fired
“Every tool in the arsenal” in other words, they will break the law at any moment when it is convenient for them.
As a former democrat, I cant believe I ever thought these stooges were decent people.
