Voting Rights, GA, and the news
LaShawn Barber has a post that discusses both the history of voting rights, specifically those of African Americans, and how the current push for photo or state ID as a requirement to vote is not comparable to the high poll taxes, grandfather clauses, etc of the past. LaShawn also points out how many stories have hinted or inferred that the ID requirement is a attempt to revoke the voting privileges of some and return to the practices of the past. That inference is simply not true. Read LaShawn’s Full Post Here
