Okay, but the ID is [b]free. Mailing someone their free ID would be convenient, but what if they don't have an address they can receive mail from? And if you're doing mail in voting, do you not have to go somewhere in order to mail your vote in? Thats okay, but going somewhere to get a free ID is too much to ask?If you do it online, you need access to a computer. If you don't have one, you have to go to a library or somewhere that does. Is online voting also considered racist?
Believe it or not, I'm trying to understand, it just seems bizarre. [/B]

White people affected are "collateral damage". Lmao.You think having to walk somewhere to get a free ID is Jim Crow, dude. I'm not defending shitty behavior, I'm genuinely perplexed why this is such a big deal. Its free.
It's almost like the while voting system is trying to be designed to limit voting as much as possible because higher voter turnout favors democrats.
GOP's Coca-Cola Boycott Backfires
County commissioners in North Carolina wanted to send a message to Coke by removing its vending machines from county property after the CEO spoke out against changes to Georgia's voting laws. But the machines did not belong to the Atlanta-based beverage giant.
The 12 Coke vending machines on Surry County property were owned and operated by Coca-Cola Consolidated, an independent bottling company headquartered in Charlotte.
Commissioners voted Monday to rescind the previous vote after company representatives pointed out the error during a public forum in which several residents also voiced their objections.
