Racist Republicans in Tennessee have their first success with the new "Voter ID" requirement: A 96-year-old black lady who has voted in all but one election (in 1960) that she was legally eligible to vote in has been denied the right to take part in democracy.
You can fucking curse on here, especially when fucking bullshit like this is going on in the goddamn world. (but I admire your restraint) Seriously isn't this some sort of equal protection violation since men don't change their names? There's still never been a case of anybody double voting or whatever these assholes are on about. Maybe it's just time I started printing fake birth certificates, for freedom.
I'm down with that, I'm about a mile outside the ATL city limits, so light this bitch on fire! And no, we won't send our fire trucks to help. Do I have to be a zombie to put my Zippo to good use?
Yes, this is quite broadly true. I keep telling sisters to make the leap, but they just don't listen. Personally, I don't care what color you are as long as you're hot on the outside. (there's another vulgar joke there that I'll skip over) I do know of a few black women who said fuck it once they hit their 30's because they kept getting on by white guys, but most don't get down with the swirl.
And back to the original subject, if I was a 96 year old black woman being denied the vote, there would be quite the 2nd amendment exercise until I got my registration.
They don't really give one most times, but they have said that they don't want to make it harder for deployed troops to vote. So fig-leaf=support the (straight) troops.
Her fault for insisting that she take her husband's name when she got married. See? All this could have easily been avoided if she'd been smarter.
Make sure your marriage certificate is the proper long form one.
Does anyone else remember the YouTube video linked to here on Wonkette - the lady who took her son to get a "Free ID" that would have cost $25 if she didn't know what she was doing because the clerk (rhymes with jerk) didn't mention there was a free one? And the son had to produce his checking account statement for christsakes.
Lady's been married twice, and probably not in Chattanooga ... so she needs to track down TWO certificates, from distant cities, to prove that she's who she says she is.
And the GOP pricks insist there's "no barrier" (funny how it's always Republicunts passing these laws).

You jest, but I am considering volunteering to do just that, even though my state is redder than ... um.... uh... a very red thing.

Sooner or later the states will bring back the poll tax.
In that case the potential voter might be asked to name 5 famous Tennessee Civil War generals instead.
that is a disgustingly believable theory.

Hmmm, Tennessee, eh? <a href="http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/sta..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/web05/201...">http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/sta...

And isn&#039;t that the real pisser ... she&#039;s ALREADY registered to vote. Now they want to take that away.
Digusting. Fucking disgusting. Triple fucking digusting.
