Voter ID Laws Rob Grandma & 5 Million Others of Their Legit Vote (VIDEO)

by Adriana Velez on September 21, 2012 at 12:46 PM

sarah silverman let my people voteOnce upon a time in America, only land-owning men could vote. But then we decided that wasn't quite fair, so we eventually made voting the right of every citizen 18 years and older. But that's not the end of the story.

Ever since crooked politicians figured out that certain people seem to vote certain ways, they've been coming up with cockamamie laws that get in the way of those certain people from voting at all. Then they started telling us a big, fat LIE: They call it "ballot security" but it's really voter suppression. Voter fraud is nearly non-existent. And yet, an estimated five million would-be voters will be disenfranchised this year thanks to voter ID laws.

Here, let comedian Sarah Silverman explain it to you. NSFW WARNING: This video is sooooo Not Safe For Work. Put in your headphones.

Sarah's got a potty mouth, but she's right. We shouldn't let these assholes steal Americans' votes. If you or your Nana plan on voting in the following states, make sure you check out the voter ID laws there: PAINFLTNMISD, IDLAKSNH, or GA. Then do what you gotta do so you can vote. Check out LetMyPeopleVote2012.com for more information.

Still don't buy it? Let's hear PA State Senator Mike Turzai spell it out again. 

Thanks Senator Turzai! I think you've made the purpose of these voter ID laws crystal clear. They're so NOT about voter fraud. Voter fraud is a problem that DOES NOT EXIST.

The end. I mean, what else is there to say? This is cheating. And I'm shouting it from the rooftops. Voter ID Laws Are Cheating! Don't let these guys, you know, metaphorically perform anal sex on you, as Sarah put it. Get informed and spread the word.

Do you know if you have the proper ID to vote -- as is your right?

    Hi! My name is Adriana Valez, and I'm here to vote republican! (but wait, voter ID laws would stop that!) and who DOESN'T have a photo ID? Ya know, something required by LAW! Does anyone remember the guy in NYC who was arrested for not having photo ID on him while biking?? Jeez, voter fraud IS a problem, I don't have the statistics on hand, but I did read a few months ago that a TON of dead people were voting, but yea, I guess that isn't voter fraud. Get a photo ID, and be glad our vote is being protected!

    Let's see instead of listening to people like Sarah Silverman how about you doing your own research in regards to Vote ID laws. This link gives State-by-State info on what KINDS of id are acceptable: http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/elections/voter-id.aspx#Details We need an ID to do pretty much everything, there is nothing wrong w/requiring people to have an ID when voting.

    Adriana, once again, your stupidity shines through.

    If you can't prove who you are, you don't deserve to vote. EVERYONE should have at least one form of government ID. If someone is lazy and stupid enough to not, and can't prove who they are, why should they get to vote?

    They shouldn't.

    Grandma needs to get off her ass and get a State ID.

    If you don't have a mind enough to get your ID together, stay home.

    Do us a favor and DON'T  vote.

    If you can get to the polls, you can get your ID.

    Wouldn't you think Dims would know this already  ????

    How on earth do you get by in this life without a proper ID? You have to have one to get a job, to buy certain goods... Working, functioning Americans HAVE their ID already. It isn't difficult to get one, so no- I don't worry about it.

    This might be the dumbest article I've ever read. I'm going to assume you know nothing about anything from here on out. Seriously - no ID? Come on now.
