Default AG Holder Says Showing Government ID To Vote Is Racist, Requires Government Photo ID and Press Credentials For His Speec

http://americanglob.com/2012/07/10/j...e-evil-of-ids/

“Many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them,” Holder said in a speech to the NAACP on Tuesday, referring specifically to a law being implemented in Texas. “We call those poll taxes.”
Okay. Government IDs and credentials are like poll taxes. Gotcha.

Quote:
NOTE: All media must present government-issued photo I.D. (such as a driver’s license) as well as valid media credentials. Members of the media must RSVP to receive press credentials athttp://action.naacp.org/page/s/registration. For security purposes, media check-in and equipment set up must be completed by 9:45 a.m. CDT for a 10:00 a.m. CDT security sweep. Once the security sweep is completed, additional media equipment will NOT be permitted to enter and swept equipment will NOT be permitted to exit.


My personal experience with the RAYCISS photo ID laws is as follows. I wanted to get one myself to see if it really was RAYCISS.

Wisconsin, like Texas, requires valid, government-issued photo ID to vote.
You go to a DMV on say, a Tuesday at 10 in the morning. Nobody will be there. A counter lady will then ask why you showed up and you say you want state ID. They say, "Okay, do you have your social security number, a photo ID of yourself or a birth certificate as well as something like a utility bill that shows you live in Wisconsin?" You go "Yep" as you show the papers and then they GIVE YOU THE FUCKING I.D. FOR FREE! For a first time issue, for identification of someone without a driver's license or TO MEET ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTING THE FUCKING I.D. IS FREE!

FREE Wisconsin ID cards for voting

If you are a U.S. citizen, will be at least 18 years of age by the next election, and would like a Wisconsin ID card to vote (although it's not currently required), please check the ID for FREE box when completing the MV3004 (Wisconsin Identification Card (ID) application) or when applying online. Otherwise, please pay the required fee. DMV service centers accept cash or checks only.

Even if it weren't "free" the poll tax would be all of 28 dollars. 28 dollars every 8 years, pay that sometime in a 2 year period before elections. What racism.
