SEIU: New Wisconsin Voter ID Bill Is Racist!


Somehow, it’s okay to have to show ID to the clerk at 7-11 for cigarettes and chewing tobacco, or at the liquor store and college bar to buy any form of alcohol.

Heck, you even have to show ID to a cop if you get pulled over.

Despite all of this, though, as Wisconsin passes a new law to require IDs in order to vote it’s racism according to the SEIU:

“This anti-democratic bill is an attempt to silence minority voters in Wisconsin- women, people of color, students, seniors, people with disabilities, the economically disenfranchised and immigrants,” said SEIU Wisconsin State Council President Mike Thomas. “It is unconstitutional and irresponsible to limit the voting rights of our citizens. SEIU will work with our community allies to educate citizens of their voting rights and get them the resources they need to register to vote under this new, extreme law.”


God forbid, citizens who are responsible enough to vote should be responsible enough to get ID.

How about this, SEIU?…Instead of showing ID at the polls, voters can just show a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of booze because somewhere someone will have asked for ID.

Immigrants without ID?

Loren Heal (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 2:17AM EDT (link)

That is, literally undocumented immigrants?

That’s telling, isn’t it.

But the whole thing is a smokescreen. As you know, LUR, the left wants not to have to show ID at the polls so they don’t have to provide fake IDs to their people as they bus them around to each precinct to vote under the name registered there for them.


Join the Concord Project, and follow @lheal, if you dare.

Good point and good catch!

Immigrants without IDs are, in fact, undocumented immigrants

A Nightmare

Heh.

It must be a nightmare keeping track of what name to vote under in which precinct.

thats the only way they remember their aliases

 
 

Don't forget the "illegal" student voters...

acat (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 8:23AM EDT (link)

That is, students at UW-Madison (or, I suppose, UW-Whitewater) who vote twice – absentee at home, and in-person on campus…

Really easy way to fluff the numbers.

I can only hope the recent kerfluffle in Madision has effectively damped the SEIU’s powder, if not spiked their barrels.

Booze or smokes to vote? Nah. In that case

The SEIU would be buying “voters” a bottle of vodka and a carton of cigs.

Ooooooh! ROAD TRIP!!!!

anotherindyfilmguy (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 2:29AM EDT (link)

Absentee ballot for home elections… zero dollars…
Pleasant road trip to WI in the Fall… varies by starting location…
Free booze from SEIU to “vote”… zero dollars… (and free booze)
Voting Republican in the booth after being given free booze by the SEIU- priceless…

WI is the new OH

Maggi Cook (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 7:34AM EDT (link)

Just like spring follows winter, liberal Democrats and their fellow travelers are already crying foul over Ohio HB 159. HB 159 requires a photo ID for in-person voters. Currently, Ohio voters can use non-photo documents such as a utility bill, bank statement, government check or other government document that purports to show the voter’s name and address.

The bill’s opponent’s talking points are:

There is no documented voter identification fraud in Ohio
The bill unfairly targeting students, the elderly, racial minorities, low income families and people with disabilities
The proposed accepted documents are not only expensive, but the process of obtaining them can be difficult and time-consuming
There is no reason other than partisan politics to pass this costly bill that will only result in voter suppression

Telling the truth in a time of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.

 

Ridiculous

Wisconsin turns in about 3 million votes in a Presidential election year. In Florida, we had over 8 million people vote in 2008. We have had the picture ID law ever since the 2000 election. We have more undocumented workers than any other state other than CA, and TX. A person can still vote here if they don’t have a picture ID, they have to vote by provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are examined by the canvassing board after the election. Out of 8 million votes in 2008, only 35 thousand were provisional and they were all examined by the canvassing boards even though the total wouldn’t have affected the outcome of the Presidential election. These SEIU people are liars.

 

for seiu the ends always justify the means

swi2522 Saturday, May 21st at 8:42AM EDT (link)

when you are morally bankrupt like seiu you dont want rules passed that make it difficult to cheat

 

Is the SEIU desperate or plain stupid?

BigRedConservative (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 9:12AM EDT (link)

When were women counted as a minority? Why wouldn’t a woman have an ID card? Why wouldn’t a disabled person have an ID card? Why do they keep coming up with such nonsense?

And two and two always makes a five
It’s the devil’s way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now

Only .. instead of a dog salivating when a bell rings, the Libs scream racism when anything threatens to upset their core bought-and-paid-for constituents and/or voter fraud.

Woman, disabled, student

rcatheart Saturday, May 21st at 12:02PM EDT (link)

I’m a female grad student whose leg was amputated when I was 12 years old, due to cancer.

I currently have in my possession a student ID, a drivers license, and a passport. I also have an expired military dependent ID, which I keep in a box somewhere for nostalgia’s sake.

I’m offended that the SEIU thinks I am unable to manage my personal identification documents because I am a disabled female student.

Thank you for proving the SEIU leadership...

is sexist and has no respect for folks with disabilities. Of course, they also double down by being racist.

the only white majority country progressives love just had an election.
You needed a government photo ID to vote.
Not a peep from the progressives.

 

Guffaws...

davenj1 (Diary) Saturday, May 21st at 10:50AM EDT (link)

to mbecker for comment about SEIU buying the liquor and cigarettes. So true! Showing ID at a polling station seems like a logical check on voter fraud. They say that minorities and the poor do not have ID. Bull! Most states grant some form of ID merely by showing residency with a utility bill or something like that. If they don’t drive, can’t they get a county ID or a friggin library card, or is reading library books also racist? Screw SEIU and all those “unions” that engage in community organizing. They care less about voter rights, racism and everything else they rail against because it only means less money in their coffers!!! In fact, THEY are the racists because they are using blacks, Hispanics, and the poor to further their agenda that cares less for blacks, Hispanics, and the poor!

Oddly enough

Rhymes With Right Saturday, May 21st at 2:40PM EDT (link)

These same folks have all the ID they need to buy their cigarettes and beer, as well as to cash their pay, welfare, and social security checks. How on earth will such legislation disenfranchise them?

get a card check bill passed so they know precisely who does’t support them?

 

how about NO ID in union recall elections

Sounds fair to me. Of course, does the NRLB still allow unions to be voted out???

Remember when the Government ran ads on TV and Radio telling all Immigrants/Aliens to “Carry your Green Card at all times…”

I was young and thought that they meant Space based aliens. That is a whole other thread. BUT anyway, I distinctly remember the Government telling ALL immigrants that they MUST carry their ID at all times.

Now, for some reason, we find this unimportant? That is quite the reversal. And can only mean they are no longer considered aliens, but citizens (legal or otherwise).

And now if told they have to have ID,

gekster (Diary) Monday, May 23rd at 11:02AM EDT (link)

it’s now racist.
Arizona is a good example.

from:
http://www.dailynexus.com/2010-04-30/arizona-immigration-law-racist-wrong/

excerpt:
“It is difficult to describe the sensation I felt when Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB1070 last Friday. I felt an emotional maelstrom of disgust, despair and utter cynicism over Gov. Brewer’s decision to implement the most draconian and most starkly racist immigration law in the last 50 years.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.
