218,000 voters denied right to vote in NC

[_Kevin Graham]

Interesting. On March 14 (the day before the primaries), this article ran at The Nation:

 North Carolina’s Voter ID Law Could Block 218,000 Registered Voters From the Polls

Now, two days later, Kevin is telling us that there were, in fact, 218,000 voters who were denied the right to vote.

So it went from being a "could" to a fact in two days. I need to start reading "The Nation" more, because that kind of predictive power is rare.

This has been predicted to happen since 2013 when the law took effect. All one has to do is add up the number of students who would be ineligible after the law took effect. All they are doing here is assuming that the state is actually enforcing its own law. subgenius seems to believe it doesn't affect students because none were interviewed, despite what the law was designed to target.

The blog post uses misleading numbers by claiming those who could possibly be affected are one in the same with those who actually were. You were using a bad source that is either openly dishonest or displays laughably bad reading comprehension. We're some affected? Almost certainly. Did some college students interested in voting have forms of ID, but not ID that met the criteria? You bet. Was it the numbers cited in your link? Almost certainly not. That was just the the number of registered voters estimated not to have a valid form of ID for the law. What your source plainly did is take the projection and claim it actually happened. Did every single one of those registered voters get turned away from an attempt to vote? Of course not. Do you imagine that every single registered voter actually votes? In a primary?

Hold ON.

I'm a registered Republican. I vote for whoever the hell I want, Republican or Democrat.

I'm not a racist, Kevin.

I'd like to believe I'm a thinker.

I don't think it makes you any more insightful when you label an entire group of people than it does Faqs with his liberal crap.

It's been said before, but being a Republican doesn't make someone a racist. However, if you meet a racist in the US, chances are pretty high you met a Republican.
