| Herschel Walker: Corporations and voter ID critics should help minorities obtain photo IDs to vote |
| 2021-04-09 |
| [Just The News] Football legend Herschel Walker says large corporations and activists who oppose the new Georgia election law should help minorities obtain photo IDs for voting instead of "complaining" about the issue "time in and time out." "Only one per Major League Baseball moved its annual All Star game from Georgia in response to the new law, which in part requires a photo ID to obtain an absentee ballot. "My grandfather today, if he was alive, would be 117 years old. He had a drivers license," Walker said Wednesday evening in a virtual discussion organized by Delaware's Wilmington Public Library. "We're in modern time today, and people don't have an ID. And then I say, you know, what's so strange about it is I have all these companies that are coming out, putting it down, 'they don't have ID. People don't have an ID.' " Companies such as American Airlines came out in opposition to the Georgia voting law. Walker questioned why opponents of the law aren't helping African Americans and others obtain photo IDs. Some exceptions surely apply, but if you are incapable of obtaining the appropriate form of identification, should you really be voting in the first place ? |

| #5 I disagree. I don't care what your race or ethnicity is. If you can't figure out how to register to vote then maybe you shouldn't vote. Besides, the implication that minorities are unable to obtain identification is racist in itself. |

| #3 Walker is 100% correct. In my 56 years, 34 of those in law enforcement here and abroad, I have never met a citizen without a valid ID...ever. Only illegal aliens fail to procure valid identification...they have plenty of fake IDs though. I wish the media and woke corp world would find a few of these ID-less folks and line them up in front of a camera and find out just why they have been unable to procure such an unattainable item. |

| #2 I've been saying the same thing. While I just don't see how it is that people, disproportionately minority, find it hard to get ID, I am told (seemingly reliably) it is so. Valid ID are necessary for many things besides voting, and likely more important to daily living in modern society, so obstacles really should be removed. |
