Asa Hutchinson was turned away from the polls because he didnt have proper ID as required under Arkansass Voter ID Law. Given Asas support for making it harder for Arkansans to cast a ballot, youd think he would have been prepared to produce his ID at the polls.
Asa Hutchinson?

(16,286 posts)The rightwing terrorists will now say "See, these laws were not meant to prevent Black people and students and old people from voting after all"
Yes, they are meant for that, and to me they are an attack on my freedom and my country and why we are fucking standing for any of it I just dont fucking know.

(23,946 posts)died to preserve the right to vote in a free election, the purpose so painfully clear that only in a nation that has a corrupt judiciary and a corrupt media could such intent not be known.
Veterans For Voting is an organization long overdue to speak against the outrage, they may be the only ones with true authority now, because racism in America is over, the corrupt Supreme Court said so.

........Spokesman Christian Olson told The Associated Press that Asa Hutchinson forgot his ID when he attempted to vote at the polls in Bentonville on Monday. Olson says a staffer was able to retrieve the ID and bring it to Hutchinson so he could vote.
This election marks the first statewide test of the law requiring voters to show photo identification before casting a ballot. A state judge has ruled the measure unconstitutional, but suspended his ruling and said he won't prevent enforcement of the law during the primary.........
