Throwing away votes is what happens when you disallow people from exercising their right to vote and using a few tainted ballots to push harsher voter ID laws. Adding hoops makes things more difficult for people to vote, voting should be so easy nobody has an excuse that they didn't. I would like voting to be as easy as breathing someday.
Why do some think that because their situation financially, physically, and transportation-wise is okay others are also? These harsher laws disenfranchise an entire group of persons because the political parties BOTH try to suppress the vote. It doesn't matter if you think people are 'lazy' what matters is that an entire group of people are getting their rights only after going through an obstacle course of breaucracy.
'Want to vote citizen? Run this course quickly and if you don't get hit with the paintballs at the end you get to wait in line for an hour and then check a box for an asshole.'
So do the American thing and realize that millions of votes being thrown away because of an EXTREMELY tiny amount of tainted ballots exist, not only is counterproductive to our nation but does far more damage since less people are able to enact their will through voting.
Harsh voter ID laws are unamerican and contrary to the American spirit.
