I wonder how many people turned away from voting were able to have a staffer go retrieve their ID? I guess voter ID isn’t a problem if you have staff. Those lazy people without ID should just get a staff!

If you don’t have a paid flunky to do it for you, well shit, welfare queens can just send one of their fifteen kids to pick it up for them. They all have Obamaphones, and odds are at least two of their litter isn’t in jail at any given time!

Olson says a staffer was able to retrieve the ID and bring it to Hutchinson so he could vote.

How many common persons can send their assistant?
How many low-income and elderly people will have to ride the buss home for their I.D., or lose their chance to exercise their constitutional right?

Hutchinson thought the incident was a “little bit of an inconvenience” but still believes the law is necessary.

Hutchinson believes the law is necessary in order to be an inconvenience–to lower income and elderly voters. IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE INCONVENIENT for Black and Democratic voters. Nice to see that it bit a GOPer in the ass, but that just means the law will bite others worse, and that is not just an inconvenience, it’s a violation of civil rights!

Haaaa. Oh how I wish that, more STUPID PARTY Reps had this happen to them, so that they can see the irony.

I believe irony is a thing lost on these doofus’s.

It’s a gimick to make it look like “look, a white man is inconvenienced by this law and he doesn’t mind. What’s wrong with everyone else who is crying ‘racist.’”?
