Also I would like to state for the record that jon stewart and stephen colbert and/or their writers deliberately deceive and mislead people in order to either make them laugh or score political currency.
exhibit A: they constantly use the following clip to claim that the legislature is simply about allowing Romney to win by preventing democratic voters; not about allowing him to win by removing fraud which would give an opponent an advantage.
they then repeatedly claim that voter fraud is nonexistent or so slight as to not be an issue.
so to basically sum it all up, there are raging large loopholes in the voting system which allow illegals, dead people, people using other's names, etc. to vote fraudulently. There's apparently no system in place to prevent it. there's also corruption in the bureaucracy designed to tip the numbers in certain counties and states.
Is jon stewart wrong about the strategic timing of the voter ID laws? probably not. I'm sure republican fanatics are just as unscrupulous as democrat fanatics. Where he's wrong is in implying that voter fraud is not an issue and that there is no Legitimate reason for voter ID. And this is likely intentional on the part of comedy central, as a means to spin things to prevent it the problem being dealt with when it would not be to the advantage of liberals. Remember they openly admit to having a liberal bias. Basically, the conservatives are choosing to fix voter fraud when it will give them an edge, and liberals are pretending it doesn't exist in order to negate that edge. Both sides are retarded.
there's also lots of videos on there about the media covering up ron paul's victories vs. mitt romney. oh, and some fun stuff about eric holder playing the race card in regards to black panthers threatening voters a while back... 'my ancestors were slaves, therefore we are not responsible for the prosecution of voter intimidation.'
thank you comedy central for your horrible programming, I generally suspected jon stewart was engaged in the same hyperbole he constantly decries (albeit he does it better and in much more entertaining manner), but before now I was not motivated to educate myself about it.
they say voter ID is unfair because it's too difficult for minorities to get it. But don't these minorities require some form of ID to get the aid from the state programs that stewart and colbert constantly defend? #thinlyveiledhypocracyonbothsides #ourpartysystemisa2headedchimera #thedailyshowturnedmeintoarepublican #thesehashtagsarewaytoolongandnotreal
