Racist Republican Politicians Want to Make It Illegal To Be Black

This year’s election is going to be decided by voter turnout. The GOP knows this, so they’re using every dirty trick in the book to keep minority voters away from the polls. And a new law in Georgia is designed to do just that. America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, and Alice Speri from The Intercept discuss this.

I get that people have to work, but if you do not have a driver's license do not get behind the wheel. It is against the law to drive without a driver's license. This is not the same as making it hard for someone of a particular race to vote by demanding everyone have some form of personal I.D. and then saying a college I.D. is not good enough, but a concealed weapon's permit is good enough.

How many people really have to drive without a driver's license? Can they not ride the bus, or get a ride from a friend, family member, or coworker?

Mike Papantonio should complain about efforts to end the motor voter laws that allow people to register to vote while getting a driver's license. However, they should be complaining about this law. If someone keeps breaking the law, at some point maybe they should be charged with a felony.
