Because they know this is about racism and voter intimidation. Plain and simple


In what way does it demonstrate racism or voter intimidation? Are the MADD put up in my community against drinking and driving a form of "driver intimidation"?

 

Realistically, the person who paid for these ads was probably (very) worried about the consequences associated with taking a stance on what has become a partisan political issue. If their information was made public it is likely that they would face death threats and harassment from people, and would be at significant risk of losing their job.

It is racist because it's targeted in poorer communities, where there are many more minorities. It is intimidation because it makes people who would otherwise vote, consider not voting do to fear of somehow commiting voter fraud and being charged with a felony.

No... it's targeting poorer communties because that's where the majority of voter fraud comes from.  Illegal aliens, group homes and nursing homes are the biggest causes.

As you go to nicer and nicer neighberhoods.  These three things decrease.

 

To argue it's racist, is like argueing that it's racist to have more police in poorer communties where their are more minorities.

Despite the fact that it's common sense... since more crimes happen in poor areas.

No, it's racist because its targeting poorer communities, and there is no voter fraud. If voter fraud is such a huge problem, why did most if these laws not get enacted until after the republican primaries?

A) I already posted evidence of voter fraud in this thread... the "There is no voter fraud" lie is based on convinctions, on which there aren't many, because the tools to prosecute voter fraud aren't really strong, and even when they are.  Your spending thousands of dollars per case of voter fraud.

This is exactly why you need voter fraud measures that prevent illegal voets.

B) Republicans won big gains in 2010, so it took a while for legislation to make it through.
