My statement doesn't need proof...
My statement was "My first example of a freedom would be equal access to the ballot box." That's not even claiming that people don't have equal access. My latter statement did that. English you idjit. But seriously, if you're too lazy to go check the state of voting rights in the country you don't care that much about freedom.
So your statement was to provide something that everyone already has and that's an example of what modern liberalism gives us?
If only modern liberalism would actually limit itself thusly...
A lot of states lead by Republicans are imposing or trying to impose lots of rules that make access to voting more difficult. One of the states now requires official picture IDs to vote, but, specifically says college official IDs don't count, as they don't want all those liberal college kids to vote.
First off, getting a college ID is pretty easy, faking one even easier. Secondly, college students don't vote, and you know this. I live just outside State College, PA where 45,000 college students attend school every year, less than 10% of which vote. I'm pretty sure that the ones who want to vote will actually have a driver's license.

To get a picture ID in, I think S. Carolina you have to bring in a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship. Well, lots of older blacks don't have any documentation because whites didn't consider them important back in the day. This will make it very difficult for 10s of thousands of black folks to vote.
Tens of thousands eh? Tens of thousands who have managed to collect social security or welfare or have Social Security # and a job but who can't get a driver's license? Yah right.

Another state said no early voting on Sundays. That's because lots of black churches organized busing and voter registration, after Sunday service, to get their parishioners to the polls to vote.
Well voting is kind of supposed to occur when it's supposed to. I don't know why all these folks couldn't show up to the church and get bussed to the polls on the actual day they're open.

In Wisconsin, they instituted the requirement for a picture ID. You could get one for little or no charge from the Auto Bureau, but, at the same time they instituted that, they closed a bunch of Auto Bureaus in Democratic areas.
The list goes on.
I don't know why in Wisconsin they closed these DMVs but if I had to guess, I'd guess that if all these 10s of thousands of blacks don't get driver's licenses or non-driver photo IDs that the DMVs really aren't doing that much business in those areas right?
Seriously, why do only Democrats need all these special allowances to vote? Why can't they get an ID and get to the polls on the right day like everyone else?
