All Du'ers you think they were fair think again READ THIS [Challenged]

Pastor Lloyd West of Believing Church of God in Christ in Detroit said he was not intimidated by the Republican challengers as he voted.

“Their intent was to intimidate,’’ West said. “The idea of what they were trying to do offended me more than anything. It didn’t change my vote.’’

Teresa Nelson said she accompanied her 18-year-old daughter to the polling station at Unity Temple when one of the Republicans challenged Michele Nelson’s identification.

Michele Nelson was there to vote for the first time and came with her school identification. That wasn’t enough, the challenger whispered to poll workers. They agreed. The Nelsons left, fetched Michele’s birth certificate at home and her report card from school, and applied for a state identification card at the Secretary of State.

1. Birth certificate? Report card? Is that all? Why not FINGERPRINTS?
How about eyeball scans?

Jeebers.

3. Who said they were fair?
I think the machines are accurate.

Republicans suppress and intimidate at every opportunity, and beyond. Does anyone wonder why they bother, if the machines are guaranteed to devine the proper result?
