Grumpy and Ms. Mouse: Say NO to Voter Suppression

Mouse: Gotta say I’ve been feelin’ a bit grumpy myself these last few days. You all know how important I consider voting, and the Supreme Court ruling on Texans needing ID has me spitting mad. The Justices said it was too close to the election to change the ruling requiring ID. I hope the Koch brothers like what they’ve bought.

Grumpy: Well, now you’ve gone and ruined my whole day, Mouse! You should know better than to use four-letter words like “Koch” so early in the day. I haven’t even had a chance to digest my breakfast yet!

Mouse: The Texans who wrote these laws don’t care if they’ve taken away a few Republican votes with this law as certainly a few people who would have voted Republican don’t have the proper ID. As long as they make sure that a greater number of Democratic ballots are denied, they’ll be satisfied the numbers will work in their favor.

It’s no surprise the vast majority of people without the proper ID are African-American and Hispanic. Hmm… I think I see a pattern here. The groups most likely to vote for Democrats are being denied their right to vote...
