Racism Takes an "L"

[cow451]

It sounds like you either live in a rural area far from a major city, or you live in a small town that is 60 miles from one. If that were the case, wouldn't you also have to go about the same distance to cast a vote?

It would be worth it to be able to cast a vote against Trump.

It seems vitally important to many conservatives that Americans have obstacles to voting.

Where I live you have to drive over 60 miles to get a driver's license or ID.

LOL, yup, gotta Drive ...to get a DL. Just don't get caught.

When I moved to North Carolina I had to retake the driving test. I didn't study at all and just showed up; the test had a lot of questions about the fines you would pay (e.g., for drunk driving) and very state-specific questions I had no idea about (NC has a lot of questions about riding in the back of a pickup). I failed it (missed by one question). I went up to the DMV employee and said, "I failed the test, I'll drive home and come back tomorrow to take the test again." I then actually picked up the manual, skimmed the book, and passed the test the next day. I still chuckle about failing a driving test and driving home.

Not everyone cares so much about obeying laws. Those are usually the ones who get pulled over by the police, take off running, resist arrest, then blame the police officer for being racist after finally being arrested. Having a driver's license won't change anything for those people.

It being post #144 is strangely apropos!

Trump Retreats from Adding Citizenship Question to Census

President Trump on Thursday abandoned his battle to place a question about citizenship on the 2020 census, and instructed the government to compile citizenship data from existing federal records, a significant retreat in the president’s wider crackdown on undocumented immigration.

Mr. Trump announced in the Rose Garden that he was giving up on the census question two weeks after the Supreme Court rebuked the Trump administration over its effort to modify the census. Just last week, Mr. Trump insisted that he "must" pursue that goal.
