Well I see Mariah accomplished what she intended to with this thread . BTW there is a simple answer to why more whites are receiving public assistance than blacks. There are more whites.
And even if they wanted too, many of them wouldn't vote, becuse of all these voter ID laws that republicans passed to by republican to be sure that not too many blacks can vote...Sure its easy to say "Well if they voted they could make a difference" but let's be honest Bob, that would NOT be a difference you or those who think like you would want. For example, in the south the districts are so carved up (gerrymandered) to the benefit of the republicans that 100% of the blacks could vote and it wouldn't make a difference in any way other than their city council. Election days need to be required paid holidays or held on weekends so that working people can vote. That would make more people see the value in it also.

http://voterfraudfacts.com/Although voter fraud is an issue in America, the ways in which voter fraud occur may be different from what you think. On our site we answer questions like, “does voter fraud exist”, “How are voter id laws impacting the country?”, “Is voter fraud really threatening our democracy?”, and “is individual voter fraud a problem in the first place?”
Out of the 197 million votes cast for federal candidates between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters were indicted for voter fraud. Only 26 of those cases, or about .00000013 percent of the votes cast, resulted in convictions or guilty pleas.
Electoral Fraud, PAC money, and Party Politics
Historically both Libertarian and Republican backed organizations have helped to spread talking points and draft legislation to prevent low-incomes families, students, seniors, and “minorities” from voting.
On the other hand, Democrats know that if everyone voted they would win most elections around the country as Democrats tend to pass laws that benefit those most likely not to vote or to not be able to vote under restrictive voting conditions. Organizations like ACORN have been accused of facilitating individual voter fraud.
While the above truisms may overshadow the voter fraud debate, it doesn’t excuse or explain away the history of voter fraud in America. This site recognizes truisms, but the intention isn’t to demonize a political party or to push a political agenda. We simply aim to uncover and present the facts on voting. One of the most important aspects of our Democracy.
At Voter fraud facts we take an in depth look at voter id laws, voter fraud myths and other voter suppression tactics meant to prevent voter turnout.
Between 2000 and 2010 there were 649 million votes cast in general elections and 13 cases of in-person voter impersonation.
Get the Voter Fraud Facts on Voter ID
Here in 2015 one of the main sources of voter fraud controversy are Voter ID laws. Some label these as the modern day poll tax, others say they protect our democracy against individual voter fraud.
Voter ID law require a valid form of ID to vote.
At the turn of the 20th century the south enforced a poll tax to prevent poor people, specifically black people from voter registration and voting.
Voter ID laws are seen by some as a modern form of poll tax as many of the countries poorest will not vote due to a lack of proper state issued ID.
2% of voting-age US citizens don’t have a valid form of state ID. In order to obtain a “free ID” they need a certified copy of a birth certificate which costs from $10 to $45 depending on the state, a passport which costs $85, and certified naturalization papers which cost $19.95.
What is Voter Fraud / Electoral Fraud?
Voter Fraud (officially called electoral fraud) is the act of illegally tampering with an election. Although the major issue being discussed by talking heads is voter ID fraud there are a number of different types of voter fraud.
Make sure you know exactly what voter fraud statistics are being discussed when you read an article or listen to a talking heads. The severity of the fraud problem can be greatly blown out of proportion by quoting other voter fraud stats instead of voter ID statistics specifically when debating the validity of voter ID laws.
Types of Voter Fraud
Types of voter fraud include intimidation, vote buying, misinformation, misleading / confusing ballot papers, ballot stuffing, mis-recording of votes, misuses of proxy votes, destruction / invalidation of ballots, and tampering with electronic voting machines.
This happens only in your republican fantasy worldWell first of all, I wasn't dragging this down partisan lines....but since that seems to be your goal, you aren't going to tell me that handing the keys to the United States, and the rights associated with her, to every illegal alien that wants it, by the democrates isn't a shady ass move to get democrates re-elected?!?!
It's called "maths"So Where are you getting this $110 figure from? Is that what you think an I.D. costs?

Then why only Republicans are pushing fro voter ID laws ? Why so many red states have voter ID laws ?And really dude, this has absolutely nothing to do with party lines, this is about being as accurate, and fair as possible to EVERY American, no matter whom they will be voting for.

So Where are you getting this $110 figure from? Is that what you think an I.D. costs? My drivers license is about $60, and a state issued photo I.D. cost less then that, and bus fare to the location is even less. If a cop asks you for I.D., what are you going to show them? They will take you in, if you refuse, or don't have one...they aren't going to just let a potential warrant walk away. Do you realize the number of criminals that have been caught by a simple traffic stop? Fuck, even if it's a photo collage I'D', or a CCW license, or a fucking bus pass...you should have to show a photo I.D., to vote. If you're a senior citizen, and are unable to get to the BMV, then tax dollars should be allocated to come to you. And really dude, this has absolutely nothing to do with party lines, this is about being as accurate, and fair as possible to EVERY American, no matter whom they will be voting for.
hey Blue cuntscratch have you seen the new republican poll tax that's being proposed by scott walker? Brilliant tactics on your side and in the same breath they deny trying to keep people from the polls.
So do you deny that the ONLY way that your party can win a major election is if the dems dont show up to vote? If you do deny it then you my friend have answered one very big question I've had since our first run in.

Hey piggy, my people are Sicilian, I'm not from Texas, I'm not a republican..........but you're still a useless cunt. I do get a ballot mailed to me, in Ohio, and it's good you know how to use the grammar check on MS office, I hope you teach your little bastard how to use it to. Maybe his girlfriend will be smarter then you, or your mother before, and swallow the load, that produces the next generation of you.
My party does not try to keep valid votes from showing up at the polls, but they do advocate for qualified and identified voters. The problem is not whether your side shows up it is whether my side shows up. You act as though republicans have not won a national election in 50 years when in fact it has been roughly only 10 years since they won one.hey Blue cuntscratch have you seen the new republican poll tax that's being proposed by scott walker?
