NYU Study Shows 5 Million People Could Lose Their Right To Vote


The recent debates over voter suppression have begun to heat up. It turns out that Voter ID laws being initiated in 14 states appear to be designed to disenfranchise poor and minority voters. Most shocking is that the impact could cause five million Americans to lose their right to vote.

Only in America.

TheGrio–A new study from the New York University Law School’s Brennan Center shows that 5 million people could lose the their right to vote as a result of new voter suppression laws.

New voter ID laws in 14 states could make it significantly harder for more
than five millioneligible voters to cast ballots in 2012, according to the
first comprehensive study of the laws’ impact, produced by the Brennan Center
for Justice at the NYU School of Law.

Widespread voting cutbacks could have a significant electoral impact in next year’s election with
minorities, poor and young voters most likely to be affected, the study found.

This article is revealing a preliminary look at what the race based powers are planning to do in order to accomplish their goal of making sure the first Black POTUS will be in office for one term. If anyone remembers what they did in florida you should also have a clue of what to expect. It’s clear, according to the info in this piece that they’re gearing up to follow through on their proposition. The bottom line is they have a “tremendous fear” in having a Black family in the white house, which is playing a serious role in why the economy is what it is. They’re out to make the first Black POTUS appear to be “totally negative” so as to turn the general voters in another direction.

So what we need to do instead of walking around complaining is do what they want you to do to vote…So many people are whining because their State is requiring them to have picture identification but if you are 18 years old and old enough to vote, shouldn’t you already have proper identification???You need to forms of id to get a job!!!
