Voter ID Bill

Hey, Voter ID proponents! If you want someone to shill for your law, may we humbly suggest not letting Sue Burmeister open her mouth. Ever.

Come to think of it, that's pretty good advice for any legislation past, pending, current, or proposed. But we digress.

Following in the wake of yesterday's released DOJ memo (which we still want to see), more information trickles out, courtesy of Rep Burmeister. According to the Honorable Rep., blacks in her district only vote if you pay them.

We have no response to that, except to wonder if the ABH will be permitted by its corporate ownership to call her out for her racist statements. We know her hometown paper, the Augusta Chronicle won't do it. If there isn't a backlash like God's own fury in the media and from politicians of both parties to her comments, then we're going to be sorely disappointed.

One last thing. In the AJC article, it mentions that Congressman David Scott of the 13th district appeared at a press conference by 5 of Georgia's 6 Democratic congressmen. We wonder who skipped and why?
