They also use voter suppression tactics such as closing down state ID licensing stations that are easily accessible by public transportation, and moving the stations to areas that are not serviced by public transportation. This is designed to make it harder for poor people that rely on public transportation to get an ID to vote.
I always say that if blacks can't vote then they are not full citizens. Only whites are full citizens in America.
This is how we do it in a shithole country.
What is the difference if we vote to A or B or C. Voting in the US doesn't mean anymore because our government leaves the US citizens behind and bows down to the jewish israel, anyway.
My home state, I grew up in Lawrenceburg Tennessee. Next-door to Pulaski Tennessee the home of the Ku Klux Klan. And this is the reason why I live in New York City! Yeah, I gave up!
A minor problem??…proof of residence,citizenship…this site is a joke, and an insult to intelligence.
When you go to register to vote YOUTUBE it. They wouldn't let me register to vote against Bush even though I had my license. They made up b.s. saying I had to register in another town but I was registering in the town of my address. I had a Kerry pin, that was.my mistake. I never tried to register again though. People in red states YOU have to vote! Record it so everyone can see the election is rigged.
@The Real News Network : I suggest increasing the volume for Marc and if viewers then find it too loud, then we can just lower the volume from our end. A principle or certainly concept in computer science is to " empower the user ", but that unfortunately isn't always what users get, for what we get is control applied against us and that's very frustrating. So far, TRNN videos have seemed fine enough for the volume of what guests say, and when Paul Jay is host I don't recall having had any volume problems at all, but for Marc anyway, I often would like to the increase the volume and can't do it with the controls available at my end. However, when the default volume is to high for me, then I can lower it myself.
Who are the real racists? Here is what is required to vote in Tennessee. Do you think people of color can"t manage these requirements? One must have an id. " What IDs are acceptable?
Any of the following IDs may be used, even if expired:
Tennessee driver license with your photo
United States Passport
Photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
Photo ID issued by the federal or Tennessee state government
United States Military photo ID
Tennessee handgun carry permit with your photo
What IDs are not acceptable?
College student IDs and photo IDs not issued by the federal or Tennessee state government are NOT acceptable. This includes county or city issued photo IDs, such as library cards, and photo IDs issued by other states.
I don’t get it- registering to vote is extremely simple. It’s not 1964. All you have to do is go to the Secretary of State, most likely on the internet. Takes five minutes, tops. It’s not a crisis, unless voters cannot be bothered to register themselves.
This really sucks american citizens have to fight for democracy against the american corporate government machine
@:59 Black and Brown people my Ass .
This is Black people fighting for the rights that will be enjoyed by the brown. Stop this People of Color Ish
I am not sure how this Law suppresses legitimate voters as the law applies to all political parties. Furthermore, illegal is not a race ( illegal aliens don't need a voter registration they need deported) & eliminating people that are not allowed to vote is not suppressing votes. America needs a a Voter ID card requiring a proof of citizenship to acquire it, problem solved. I don't want to hear any whining snow flake Liberals either, if you need an ID to buy a BEER, a pack of Cigarettes, to cash a check or rent a property you damn sure should be required to show proof of age & citizenship to vote.
I sure would like the Specifics, but undoubtedly the Rulers don't want the peasants getting uppity and voting.
Let me get this straight, this is against black people because… they cant follow instructions? And somehow white people are going to have no issues with these same instructions? What a bunch of racist bullshit. Why do you think black people are dumb in comparison to every other race of people who will be following the same rules?
I started watching this, then I remembered you Americans let your political parties run election. That's insane, and any discussion about how to fix it is pointless. on to the next vid….
Is KKK is in any way involved in this..??????
See Greg Palast’s work on this: “The Best Democracy Money Can Buyâ€
My mother wishes so much I would “move back home “ to where I grew up in Tennessee. She also watches fox news. I love her but she will never understand why i can’t be in the political social scene that still festers there so backwards and ignorant. i am a black sheep liberal there. smh sorry mom not coming back for more than a visit anytime soon🤢😵😢
When the 50% working poor have always refused to vote, causing the 25% most wealthy to win all elections, what difference does it make how corrupt the voting process may be?
The arrogance of those white government leaders with those smiles!!!! WE'D BETTER TAKE OUR GOVERNMENT BACK SOON OR ELSE MUCH WORSE IS COMING!!
Find the guys who enacted this law and you will see KKK Republicans at work! These guys must be VOTED out of office. ASAP!
What difference does it make. Voting is a sham. Politicians are selected not elected
Seriously? Do all of you really believe this is racist? If you do, then you are racist for thinking black people can not complete a registration form correctly. Black people are more than capable to obtain an ID and complete a registration from. This claim is disgusting!
If people aren’t informed about the electoral process, don’t have access to a vote, or are denied the opportunity to exercise their voting rights, the government’s power loses all legitimacy. How is that working for you in the USA. Should be call NUSA " Not United States of Middle of America."
simply deny the feds the fines and keep going.
Ten minutes and seventeen seconds. I've watched it twice. I still don't know exactly what's been done to suppress the vote. What I do know is that when Dems make it too easy to register Republicans can use that situation as a way to cheat. I think that was in NC. So why are you telling me about Goodman instead of right now.
I wish my people would stay awake. Trump’s MAGA is killing off our rights.
I'm not surprised Tennessee was the state that re-enacted Jim crow laws 1881.i'm black I hated that state.
Look Ma, it's the 1960's again.
Corruption
