re: #70 Killgore Trout

Politifact: “Texas Governor Rick Perry’s voter ID law is a blatant effort to defeat Wendy Davis by disenfranchising tens of thousands of women voters.”
Pants on fire

Politifact would require a signed statement from the legislators who drafted the law that their intent was unconstitutional to conclude otherwise.

Plus the stupid timeline issue. So there’s a little campaign hyperbole in a fundraising letter.

The really stupid part is that all Politifact is doing here is clouding the issue. Disenfranchisement is a very real problem. The voter fraud measures like this are supposed to prevent is a fairytale.

Clouding the issue helps the disenfranchisers, not the potential voters. I think that’s evil.
