Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA’s Voter ID law stands, for now

In Pennsylvania, the GOP/TP “suddenly” became alarmed by all of the voter fraud.  They can’t show that it happens in any numbers above fractions of a percent, but oh, they did need to change the laws.  Funny how it wasn’t a problem for them UNTIL a Democrat who happened to not be “white” won the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA’s Voter ID law stands, for now
