Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemps (R) office is blocking 53,000 people from registering to vote, according to records obtained by the Associated Press, a huge number that could sway his gubernatorial race against Democrat Stacey Abrams.

As TPM laid out this morning, Kemp has used a controversial exact match program to approve or block voter registrations that disproportionately impacts minority voters.

Now we know exactly how many people that might affect this election. According to the AP, fully 70 percent of the voter applications that are being held up by Kemps office are from black people.

Its unclear how many of these voters will be able to get on the rolls by Election Day.

People whose registrations are still pending have 26 months to correct the problem, and get one notice by mail advising them of the issue. They can still vote in-person provided they present a drivers license or other form of photo ID, something that minorities are less likely to have, or cast a provisional vote and return within three days with valid proof of identification.

The secretary of state has waged a years-long battle against voting rights groups in the state, regularly going after minority voter registration efforts, while purging voting rolls and making it harder for many people to vote.

This figure shows how much impact that could have. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deals (R) 8-point reelection margin in 2014 was just 200,000 votes total. Abrams and Kemp have been statistically tied in most public and private polls. Whether or not these voters get on the rolls could determine who wins the election.

Because generally the voter ID laws are combined with a push to make it harder for certain groups to obtain the right ID.

If you want Voter ID laws so bad, you also have to make it easy for anyone to get the ID.

In what way is it so hard to get an ID? Generally, shouldn't it be social/birth certificate/etc, fill out a form, pay a small fee, and then you're off to the races? What barriers are they facing that has to do with race?

To liberals if there is a disparity in outcome, no matter the circumstances, it has to be proof of opression. Personal choice, actions, and effort should never be considered in determining if discrimination is at fault for said disparity.

SSN isn't an actual ID despite it's use as one.

People can lose their birth certificates due to no fault of their own. Like their parents losing it on them. It's also not an easy process to get a replacement either.

But ultimately voter ID laws are struck down, because the voter id bills target IDs that certain groups generally use and not allowing them and shutting down DMVs in areas of those groups to force them to have to make a huge trip to a DMV to get a correct ID.

People like to make excuses all the time, after election day they have a whole year until the next election day but they dont get the id then complain that its discriminatory once officials require an id to vote. But these lunatics think that getting an id is just for voting when you need an id now in 2018 for a long of things, how they live normal lives without an id in america i have no idea.

Even illegal immigrants in america in some areas where they give a form of ids get one, but citizens just say its damn racist and a voter tax when they want proof of who you are.

No personal accountability.

Difficult, but not impossible. I understand it might be a pain, but they really should be reinforcing the idea of everyone obtaining identification anyway. And people who are interested in voting should know this is a possibility and thus be working on obtaining it. With voting cycles being far apart, there is plenty of time to get it sorted out. The only valid excuse is if they are 100+ miles from anywhere that could do it, but I'd have to imagine that is not the problem affecting the bulk of black people. It feels like we're mostly just letting laziness take hold, unless there are more specific statistics showing distance is the most prevalent issue.

What about it? I have no doubt there are people using laws to try to sway the voting. They're going to do that whenever and wherever they can. The question is if it's actually that big of a deal to get an ID. I want to know if there is some factor that is making it nearly impossible for so many people, or if it's just a cultural attitude that puts no importance on obtaining one. Is it that everyone is just crying racism and letting the status quo remain instead of enticing people to obtain them, or is it that it is really that hard for them?

It's also a big problem for old people. I can understand why that could be. I don't necessarily understand it for black people at least to the extent that it is happening.

The problem is that voter ID laws are adding on things to make it intentionally harder for certain groups to get the proper ID. And the people crafting these laws are using data to specifically target certain groups. That's why people have a problem with the laws.

if you want to make ids mandatory, you better make it easier to get them.


I would even argue a federal id would be the starting point. Since it's a standard for the entire country and would make it harder for the situation of states being selective on IDs to omit certain groups.

i can give an anecdotal example

in college i let my drivers license lapse, i didn't drive and to be honest i just forgot. realized that could be a problem, so i road the bus to the DMV (which is a bitch in and of itself), waited in line for 2 hours, and got to the desk only to find out that i needed 2 (might have been 3, cant remember) forms of id to get my license and my SSID didn't count (which is fucking hilarious). besides a birth certificate (something easily lost), i had the choice of bill statements (which someone homeless wouldn't have), a bank statement (which someone poor/homeless is not necessarily going to have), or a state ID card which requires the above documents to get... oh and i think passport was a possibility.

i had to spend two days jumping through hoops for an ID i couldn't make use of. if i didn't have the free time to do it, something someone working 2+ jobs will not have, i'd have completely skipped getting it.

In the example you provided, you absolutely did not have to spend 2 days doing that. You went there not even knowing what to take with you, which could have been fixed by a Google search and spending 2 minutes to read what you needed to take with you.

You only had to do that because you didn't think for a second, What all do I need to take with me to get my ID?

neat, you read maybe the first sentence and completely disregarded the other points just to act like you've won the argument.

added bit, i did actually have a bank statement the first day. but it wasn't the most recent and thus was rejected as a valid form of id...

Most of these voter ID laws will -eventually- be struck down, the country at large is catching onto them being used as suppression tools and the right is currently in a "well we don't have enough time to rectify them yet" as an excuse to use them for another election or so. The only question really is how big a buffoon people are willing to look like defending them up until that point.

I read the entire post. Nothing in your post makes anything I said any less valid in any way. You weren't required to waste an entire day going to the DMV only to be denied because you didn't have the required documents for your license. That was your own stupidity that was the cause of that waste of time.

The nuevo poll tax. Republicans know they are on the losing end of the demographics front, that's why they are trying different methods at voter suppression that targets minorities.

neat, you read maybe the first sentence and completely disregarded the other points just to act like you've won the argument.

added bit, i did actually have a bank statement the first day. but it wasn't the most recent and thus was rejected as a valid form of id...


I read the entire post. Nothing in your post makes anything I said any less valid in any way. You weren't required to waste an entire day going to the DMV only to be denied because you didn't have the required documents for your license. That was your own stupidity that was the cause of that waste of time.

Yes, blame him for doing what everyone on the fucking planet does when they decide to take care of something they forgot. Shut the fuck up.


What? Most people are not dumb enough to go to the DMV without calling them to ask what they need to bring with them or just googling it to find out first. What planet do you live on where you make 2 hour plus trips without taking 2 minutes to be sure you have required supplies needed to fulfill the purpose of that trip?

Is getting a non-license ID some kind of major hurdle or something? Why is this an issue? Why is it a bad thing to want to identify people?


Because generally the voter ID laws are combined with a push to make it harder for certain groups to obtain the right ID.

If you want Voter ID laws so bad, you also have to make it easy for anyone to get the ID.

In what way is it so hard to get an ID? Generally, shouldn't it be social/birth certificate/etc, fill out a form, pay a small fee, and then you're off to the races? What barriers are they facing that has to do with race?

Accessibility is a major issue.

So what does that mean?

Requiring to show your ID should be necessary.

Obtaining your identification shouldnt be difficult.

If Democrats are concerned so much then they should be trying to help their members get their paperwork in order.

It's easier to scream that something is racist online to make any actual effort to help people.

Showing your ID is required when buying a gun, or alcohol. In Australia, it's even required if you want a mobile phone. We do have voter ID cards here in Australia, but you are only required to present them if requested. I haven't been requested to present mine in almost 22 years of voting. I was going somewhere with this... be like Australia, I guess. Voting is mandatory here, make it mandatory in America.

What about it? I have no doubt there are people using laws to try to sway the voting. They're going to do that whenever and wherever they can.

And that's bad. These laws in the US are almost universally proposed in hopes that they will suppress voting from certain demographics. That should never be allowed no matter how easy it is to jump through the hoops.

You STILL ignored the rest of his post.. about how difficult obtaining some of those documents can be depending on your life circumstances.
