http://national.suntimes.com/national-world-news/7/72/1981219/carson-voting-done-appropriate-people/GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson does not think voter identification laws and other voter suppression policies are racist.
Ive made it my personal project, every time I visit a country outside the U.S., to ask what do they do to ensure the integrity of voting? Theres not one single country anywhere first world, second world, it doesnt matter that doesnt have official requirements for voting, Carson told The Topeka Capital-Journal.
My question to those people who say were racist because we apply those standards: Are all the other countries of the world racist? he asked. I dont think so. Voting is an important thing. Obviously, you want to make sure that its done by the appropriate people.

He DOES realize that GOP definition of 'appropriate' would eliminate his vote, right?
