"NEW YORK (AP) - The NAACP is joining with minority and labor groups for a series of protests around the country meant to move discussion of voter-identification laws out of policy circles and onto street corners, the organization's president said Tuesday.

Benjamin Todd Jealous appeared on the steps of New York City Hall with the Rev. Al Sharpton, U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel and community and labor leaders to announce plans for nationwide protests on Dec. 10 and across the South in the following weeks, decrying what they described as a nationwide voter-suppression effort.

The rallies are "intended to get this conversation out of the thought-leader class and down to the street corners, so folks understand that their rights are being attacked," Jealous said, adding that the NAACP had already raised millions of dollars to support its campaign. He said his group has been urging the Department of Justice, which is considering the legality of proposed policies in Texas and South Carolina, to block the laws.

"This is the greatest assault on voting rights, happening right now, that we have seen since the dawn of Jim Crow," he said."

The unions smell blood in the water, and the likes of Al Sharpton and others will be out in force for the next year. If any group like the Tea Party or another Grass Roots Conservative Group should venture out to Protest, they will likely be beat to a bloody pulp!

So now union people are as stupid as black people, when it comes to just getting a state ID?

OK.  I can believe that.

If the timing is better for us now rather than later...well...any opinions on that?  More time to consolidate may be better for them...?

Raleigh, N.C. — A three-term Morrisville Town Council member running for re-election tried to vote Tuesday after already submitting an early absentee ballot, Wake County Board of Elections officials said.

Linda Lyons, who serves District 1, was already under investigation by the elections board in connection with the handling of at least five absentee ballots for voters in her district, board Director Cherie Poucher said Monday.

Five absentee ballots had to be thrown out after voters told elections officials that Lyons was the signed witness on their ballots and that she took possession of the ballots after voters filled them out, Poucher said.

Absentee ballots issued for any old reason need to be stopped.  Voter ID isn't going to help much with that.

Yeah, they throw all the military ones out into the trash anyway, so getting rid of them all might equate to net a win for our side anyway!

Nossir; absentee military ballots are one of the few exceptions I'd make.  If I were King Queen.

Plus, unless you know the reloader, how do you know they're decent rounds?!
