I don't understand your point? You want voter ID? If so do you think absentee balloting should be removed? I'm assuming there isn't a method to check IDs for an absentee vote. I could be wrong.
The thing about the whole voter fraud non-issue is that it is once again the front for a nefarious application of exclusionary policy. Similar to other irrational right-wing policies, it has little to no basis in fact. The number of in-person incidents approaches something close to a serial rapist in Canada http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/29/magazine/voting-rights-act-dream-undone.html I mean, it's political bulls**t on both sides, the Republicans happen to be on the side of trying to slow demographic changes at the ballot box, something that will be a sad afternote in a few decades.
My point is that this is a non issue for 90% if the voter eligible population. The people primarily affected are non homeowners who can't pay for utility bills and people dodging creditors or the law. I also don't get why we should rush out uninformed or uninvolved voters in droves. Works wonders for gop primaries eh? Case in point are the Bernie brosephs rioting at a primary and crying that this isn't a democracy. Democracies aren't a one day matter. I get the philosophical points but I'm sick of the retread topic.
I think the fact that the GOP is focused on in-person voter fraud (not a threat) vs. election fraud (a serious threat) demonstrates that in reality the whole issue is merely a calculated attempt to keep the GOP in power in regards to changing American demographics by denying Democratic voters the opportunity to vote against them.
What I find funny is that some in this thread deny that saying a person can't do their job, because of their race/heritage isn't racist/bigoted. It's amazing how far some folks will go in order to try and pretend that racism/discrimination/bigotry is almost non-existent. 1. A judge's job is to be impartial as they weigh the evidence and facts of a case. 2. Trump: This judge can't be impartial because he's Mexican 3. bandwagoner and others: That isn't racist. That's just saying the judge has a bias. 4. It ignores the fact that the bias he supposedly has is that he's a Mexican. Trumps position is that all Mexicans will be biased against him.
Which is extremely contradictory to Trump's message of "Mexicans love me". Trump doesn't understand cognitive dissonance if it slapped him across the face.

Right, but even that is more specific than Trump's statement about him having Mexican Heritage. Fascinating stuff.
No affiliation despite a link to La Raza on their links and affiliation page...oh and the name they share. #whatdoyouknow
Reading is fundamental: BELOW ARE OTHER LATINO ORGANIZATIONS AND LINKS AND BYLAWS: They are included with a list of other Latino organizations. http://larazalawyers.net/id3.html #whatdoyouknow
He is definitely working hard to realize this vision. LOL. But I think you mean all people of Mexican heritage.
Trump is scheduled to be in Houston next Friday. Details are still to come. Also visiting Dallas and San Antonio next week.
The hilariousness of the ignorance and willingness to believe total falsehoods is scary in this country.
I can't believe how far the Republican party has fallen. They have embraced the lunatic fringe and as such are not electable in any fashion. So much so that they are going to get Hillary elected, when she is not all that great of a candidate either. Where is the Ronald Reagan of today? Instead we get religious wack jobs and idiots like Trump - hell Ross Perot isn't dead is he? DD
