The bigots in this country moved from Democratic to Republican over the past 50 years, and now Republicans in Missouri are doing their level best to reinstate the poll test.
They are going one step beyond the photo ID requirement in Indiana, Missouri is now attempting to require voters to provide proof of citizenship, either a birth certificate or a passport.
Lillie Lewis, a voter who lives in St. Louis and spoke at a news conference last week organized to oppose the amendment, said she already had a difficult time trying to get a photo ID from the state, which asked her for a birth certificate. Ms. Lewis, who was born in Mississippi and said she was 78 years old, said officials of that state sent her a letter stating that they had no record of her birth.
“That’s downright wrong,” Ms. Lewis said. “I have voted in almost all of the presidential races going back I can’t remember how long, but if they tell me I need a passport or birth certificate that’ll be the end of that.”
Look at this woman, and know that the sponsor of this amendment to the state constitutional, State Representative Stanley Cox, thinks that this is just fine, because he does not want N***ers to vote.
