Since white people are not supposed to be the victims of these laws, why should a Republican office holder bother to obey the law he passed and show up at the polls like the blacks and Hispanics with ID? This is after a resurrection of the old runnaway slave and indentured servant laws.
Exactly. If anything, this story shows how voter ID is no imposition at all to legitimate voters. You just get your staff to bring it.
What, you think he drives himself like the peons?

So the law works. It prevented this @-hole from voting.
Q: Why didnât Asa show his weapon to the poll worker, so he can vote?
A: Indecent exposure.
(We would have also accepted âpaternity suitâ or "dumped wife #2 (young) for wife #3 (vintage).
Of course this idiot had an âstafferâ to go get his ID and you better believe there was no line stretching around a city block at his polling place. GOP scum.
I live in SD. We have a voter ID requirement. It is NOT oppressive. 90% of people have a driverâs license. For those who do not, there are other IDs. You do not need a voter ID to vote absentee. This issue makes Democrats look like idiots, really. We should concentrate on getting IDs for those who do not have them, instead of worrying about the voter ID thing.
They would never see the irony, as conservatives are genetically incapable of detecting irony (or just ordinary humor, for the most part).
There could be NO other reason for not carrying his ID with him at all times - right? I hope the local election board refers this matter to the state attorneyâs office.
Something doesnât smell right here! I smell a attempted set-up! Either he gets to vote with-out a ID or is sent packing to get a ID!
Hutchinson just happens to forget to bring his wallet so he sends one of his staff to go to his house (or wherever important people like him keep their wallets) and retrieve it! I guess that Hutchinson just remembered he that had to vote as he his driver was driving by his local polling place!
Heâs not a elected official, but has a staff to due his bidding for him, give me a break!
The law of unintended consequences. Funny how he could send an assistant to go get his identification for him. Asa must not have a job to go to that requires him to be present and identified before he can walk into the premises, like some of the working people have.
I love unintended consequences when someone does something stupid like pass a law that they ultimately get inconvenienced by. Welcome to the brave new world.
From what I understand, a fair number of voter ID laws are written to exclude alternative forms of identification, other than a driverâs license. Not all of them, but a fair number of the laws - Iâm sure there are exceptions - the examples of the laws Iâve seen, particularly, but not limited to the red states, are extremely restrictive.
Idiot.
This is Jed.

- The correct term is âgovernment issued PHOTO IDâ
- The USA has been electing its representatives for all manner of positions for well over 200 years and has done pretty well with the procedure without government issued PHOTO IDs .
Riddle us this GOPers. Why the passion for government issued PHOTO IDs now?
And they shall hang on the gallows of their own devices.
Welfare queen? Sounds like any corporatist and career politician to me. Oh but wait, they are the job creators that donât pay taxes, pay low wages, huge bonuses for themselves all at the taxpayers expense.
The very intent of the GOP is oppressive. May they reap what they sow.
See, skeptics? Photo ID is no big deal. All a voter has to do is send their staffer to their home to retrieve the forgotten ID.
I havenât heard of a non-restrictive one, except Rhode Island, where Democrats passed it but are making IDs readily available. Every Republican state is making it difficult.
