This great thread by Matthew Chapman welcoming the Supreme Court refusal to hear North Carolina's appeal on the quashing of its stupid and vicious voter ID law got me wound up into the battle:
@TexasSpecial1 @fawfulfan @RotNScoundrel This is an annoying and narcissistic mathematical mistake. It is not your vote that is offset. If 2000 ppl in your precinct voted same way— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) May 15, 2017
@TexasSpecial1 @fawfulfan @RotNScoundrel ...then it is 1/2000 of your vote, 1/2000 of your wife's, 1/2000 of your friend Joe's, etc. It has almost nothing to do with you.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) May 15, 2017
This one makes me completely insane. I've been through it before. "They're canceling out my vote!" What kind of egomaniac thinks that way? (A mathematically challenged one.)
@terrimore1 @fawfulfan @TexasSpecial1 @RotNScoundrel Again, I DID Google it. I DID read it. What does it have to do with voter ID? Nothing. It's a fart in a high wind for all it has to do w/it.— Jesus HidalgoCristos (@JesusHCristos) May 15, 2017
@terrimore1 @JesusHCristos @fawfulfan @TexasSpecial1 @RotNScoundrel And if we install lightning rods every 10 feet throughout the country nobody will ever get struck by lightning. But we don't do it, why?— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) May 15, 2017
@terrimore1 @JesusHCristos @fawfulfan @TexasSpecial1 @RotNScoundrel Because it's ridiculously expensive and inconvenient in every way. Voter ID laws are that and also deprive many of constitutional rights.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) May 15, 2017
@terrimore1 @JesusHCristos @fawfulfan @TexasSpecial1 @RotNScoundrel (Actually I am). But better 1 person should vote illegally than 100 persons be cheated of voting rights, which is what voter ID laws do— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) May 15, 2017
Especially since as you all know there is tons of evidence that voter ID laws DO suppress minority votes, and none at all that they have any effect in stopping people from impersonating voters, because people never impersonate voters! There's nothing to stop! Why are we even having this argument? (I know, because Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is very worried about the epidemic of imaginary voter impersonation. Please! If he is delusional he should not be the attorney general! He should not be our problem! And if he's not delusional he simply wants to stop black people from voting and that's against the law. He shouldn't be the attorney general either way! This is not rocket science!)
