Patricia my point is this: If illegal aliens are getting valid dl's, then it doesn't matter that you are requiring them a the polls. Second, I got the gobbeldy goop from the League Of Women Voters.

Third, if an 86 year old WWII veteran is refused his right to vote, then that is voter suppression.

Amanda, I have no idea where you get the gobildy goop you are spouting, but this is not about voter suppression at all.  It is about machines that do not work as they are supposed to and offer the capability for 1 person deciding who will win the election by simply going in and changing the numbers around.   And I do not agree with giving illegal aliens drivers licenses either.   If they don't have a valid drivers license when they come here from whatever country they are from, they shouldn't be driving and allowing them to get a drivers license is like throwing out the welcome mat for them to stay in our country illegally.  You may be OK with that, but I am not.  It's fine for folks to come and visit, but VISIT and then, they need to go back home from where ever they came from!

If illegal aliens have valid driver's licenses then it does not even matter. When folks who are eligible to vote are hampered in doing so, that is wrong. Come on this isn't right-left. This is right-wrong.

In Florida, we limited early voting, taking away six days. No evidence of fraud, just took it away. And we took away the one day when up to 30% of African Americans vote, the Sunday  before election day. Known as Souls to Polls, whole communities would vote. Also college students, they can only vote in their home districts. Because their drivers license often reflects their parents address for insurance purposes, they cannot vote at university. An 86 year old WWII veteran was recently denied the opportunity to vote, t ovote in the same district that he has voted in for years, because in January he surrendered his license.

Florida's law adversely affects the elderly and the poor. Ther has been no evidence of voter fraud by individual voters that amount to more than a fraction of one percent.

It is not focused on voter suppresssion Amanda, and I am not sure what you are talking about as this is not about voter suppression at all and asking folks to show an ID is not voter suppression; it is keeping our elections honest.  My post is all about keeping our elections honest and true.  With these machines, if you had watched the first very long video, you would know these machines for the most part don't work the way they are supposed to, they malfunction (we might make a wild guess they have been rigged) and secondly, any even mildly computer literate person can access a screen and actually change the vote tallies around to suit their own preference for winners and losers and not the voters actual votes, and there is not way to even know it was done (they show how it can be done and show places where the machines have not worked the way they were supposed to).  It is well worth the hour and 20 plus minutes to watch and am so glad someone was concerned enough to look into the issue as thoroughly as she did.

Yet none of the laws passed have anything to do with this. Instead it is focused on voter supression.
