| Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter says U.S. voter suppression is alive and well | |
| 2020-01-18 | |
| ATLANTA (Reuters) - The center that honors slain U.S. civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. will devote the holiday celebrating his legacy on Monday to voter education and registration, his youngest daughter said in a recent interview. Bernice King, 56, said she believes her father would have been disappointed with efforts playing out in some U.S. states to purge voter rolls of people who have not recently cast ballots or to impose strict ID requirements.
except it's not taken away, you just have to re-register...with a valid ID. NOT SO HARD It's quite difficult to "decide to exercise your right to vote" if you've been dead for five years. | |

| #8 I'm with Nos. 5 & 7. "Bernice King, 56, said she believes her father would have been disappointed with efforts playing out in some U.S. states to purge voter rolls of people who have not recently cast ballots or to impose strict ID requirements." Honey, I'm old enough to remember Dr. King; I think he'd approve of anything that defeated voter fraud (unlike - apparently - YOU). >:-( I also think he's probably spinning in his grave at the antics of (some? all?) of his progeny. |

| #6 Typical SS over-the-top rhetoric and BS. No legitimate voter's rights are suppressed. They simply have to validate who they are after long inactivity-- no different from being asked to log in again to an online account you stepped away from, or being asked to give a medical call center service rep the last four of your social. What f---ing clowns and liars these people are. |

| #5 Damn right it is. We want to suppress the votes of illegal aliens, felons, dead people and fictitious characters. |

| #4 "You can’t take away someone’s right to vote just because they haven’t decided to exercise it," A wise man once wrote - 'if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice'. Guess Bernice isn't a Rush fan (the band or the man). |

| #3 "You can’t take away someone’s right to vote just because they haven’t decided to exercise it," Ah? |

| #1 The greatest voter suppression is the delusion of legitimate votes by fraudulent voting. See - Minnesota senatorial election in which the number of unqualified felons voting was greater than the difference between the winner and loser. |
