The idiocy of the Indiana voting law...

[rpannier]

I found this little tidbit in a story on the Indiana election

About a dozen nuns in their 80s and 90s at St. Mary's Convent in South Bend were denied ballots — by a fellow sister — because they lacked the necessary identification.


So the person at the polling place knew the voters personally and had to turn them away.
Foolishness.

1. That's sad.

Poor nuns.

2. Clinton supporters naturally support laws that inhibit voting by poor folks and black folks.

4. It hurt them both equally

My Grandmother who is 80 has never had a driver's license.

5. Yah - in fact it did. That's not the *goal* of such laws tho. That's why it's kinda funny.

6. That is a load of shit....

From a fellow Democrat who supports the Democratic Nominee....

7. Do you REALLY want me to get the links for you?

[dogday]

8. Some might of, but Democrats do not support Republican's

tactics... Yes, please give me links...

[BlooInBloo]

9. Heh. You already conceded the point.

[dogday]

10. No, I said there may be some, but you said Clinton Supporters, which

encompasses all of them... Got links?

[dogday]

11. Still waiting on those links if you please, otherwise

your statement is just bull....

3. It's infuriating when "rules" override commonsense.

12. This could be the test case that makes the Supreme Court revisit the issue

The Court left the door open to ruling again if evidence was produced of harm done to a real voter.

13. That's a valid point

As badly as I feel for people who got turned away...especially the 90 year old people. Something good may come from it.
