Someone said it's better to keep your mouth shut, and let people think you're stupid, than to open your mouth and let people know you're stupid. Po' BooBoo.

Having grown up in the generation AFTER Fat Albert and the gang.... can someone please translate what he was at least attempting to say?

I think he was saying "verifying the voter roles scares criminals" from voting?

If Boomhauer had a morbidly obese, mixed-race son......

Stokes usually pontificates on pizza.

I keep wondering what is the REAL cause for the kick back on voter ID. Several other states require a picture ID to be shown in order to vote. I moved here from Virginia and we have been required to show ID for years.

See Canton article and you'll learn exactly why the kickback against voter I.D. Of course Thomas the Head will tell you "its the white male patriarchy attempting to suppress the black lesbian left handed transexual yacht racer vote"

Well, I don't think anyone here has picked up on what Kennuff was saying.
Kennuff is concerned that the voter I.D. would scare off possible wanted suspects. And Kennuff is trying to protect those that may be wanted by the law. Now, why would Kennuff be concerned about fugitives from the law? Oh wait, that's what keeps putting him in office.....

If it's true that Mississippi has no problem of voter fraud and if it is true that voter ID will not disenfranchise anybody, what's the big deal and why do we spend so much time arguing about it?

I have photo ID. I even have a passport.
I don't like that I have to jump through another hoop.
Registering to vote and having my name listed in my precinct should be enough.
Our election commissioners shouldn't need this.
They should be able in the computer age to keep their records up to date.
They should know if someone on their list is dead.
They should know if my address is accurate. You can find on the Internet every place I've lived.
If my credit card companies know if I die, so should the Election Commissioner.
We pay for people to do their job and do it well. Now I have to , again in society, do someone else's work for them.

umm.... anon @ 7:12, how do we know you are who you say you are?

He is who we thought he was

"I am not who I think I am; I am not who you think I am; I am who I think that you think that I am."

Try to google Kenneth Stokes or Kenneth I. Stokes.

They should know if someone on their list is dead.

There are five registered voters at my Hinds County address but only three registered voters living here. As far as the other two, one died in the mid-90s and his spouse moved away a year after that. Have brought this to the attention of Dunn's office/Election Commission a half-dozen times over nearly 18 years. BUT there they are, today, both still active status registered voters here.

One of my next door neighbors passed away in 2006. She's still active status registered too. The house across the street, one person has lived there alone for nearly a decade but four people have active voter registrations at that address.

If you live in Hinds check out your own address or other addresses here: http://www.co.hinds.ms.us/pgs/apps/voter.asp

So it isn't a matter 7:12 AM of paying someone to do their job and do it well, or even do it average. Because they aren't doing their job at all and most of that refusal to remove those dead and/or moved away off the rolls is by design.

No one in Mississippi, certainly not the corrupt Democrats opposing VoterId, can tell you how many dead people or former residents are voting because the damn voter rolls don't show them as dead or moved away. The rolls have them down as active registered voters. And when some counties have attempted to proactively verify and clean their voter rolls who rushes to the court house to stop them? Corrupt Democrats.

Mississippi recently had two counties forced by lawsuit to verify their voter rolls because the number of registered voters in those counties exceeded the number of people the 2010 census said actually lived in the county.

Do you hear ANY Democrat or progressive idiot in this state calling for an accuracy cleaning of the voter rolls in our 82 counties? Have you heard EVEN ONE?

So until that day when the corruption is rooted out and Mississippians can have a sense of faith in the accuracy of our voter rolls I will happily be inconvenienced by a request at my precinct to show ID.

It isn't the optimal solution and it doesn't solve the issue of voter roll corruption. But it sure as hell will be a step forward and less corrupt than what we have now.

The only people who will be suppressed by VoterID will be the people who, for whatever reason, are not legally voting.
