Most Missourians are cool with voter ID laws. They approved it on the 2016 ballot. Clearly, they think it's fair for officials to ask for identification at the polls. Still, that didn't stop Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) from charging that voter ID is racist at its core during a dinner with the NAACP.

"There are people that are still trying to figure out ways to keep folks from voting. It’s happening right here in Missouri," McCaskill said at at the 2018 St. Louis County NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner in St. Louis. "It’s happening right now. We have a lawsuit that is being brought against the voter ID law - and by the way, we all know there have been no complaints of people fraudulently impersonating someone to vote in Missouri - none. But the voter ID law is designed to do something pretty insidious: it is designed to disenfranchise people who have the most difficulty navigating bureaucracies, who have the most difficulties sometimes proving where they were born because their families weren't allowed to have their baby in a hospital because of the color of their skin. So we are going to fight this voter ID law and I got to leave you with this - before I introduce my friend - if we do not succeed in court, there is another way we can succeed and that is by deciding that this year is the year that all of us do that extra something to register voters, educate voters, and make sure that every single voter who shares our values has that opportunity to vote."

McCaskill went on to remark on the law's sinister design.

"But the voter ID law is designed to do something pretty insidious: it is designed to disenfranchise people who have the most difficulty navigating bureaucracies, who have the most difficulties sometimes proving where they were born because their families weren't allowed to have their baby in a hospital because of the color of their skin."

In 2016, 63 percent of Missouri voters approved a voter ID law that required voters to show a photo ID. Opponents, however, called it "Jim Crow."

“When my ancestors, who were slaves in this country, first won the right to vote, the reaction was to pass Jim Crow laws to keep us from voting — things like literacy tests and poll taxes,” said St. Louis Treasurer Tishaura Jones at the time the law went into effect. “Voter ID is another poll tax.”

Progressive groups like Priorities USA have been challenging the law in court.

McCaskill is absolutely convinced that people of color can't obtain a valid piece of identification? Wow - how racist is that?!

This video is a perfect example of how McCaskill really views Blacks:



Obviously, the real agenda behind fighting voter ID laws is about voter fraud - the Democrats have been committing voter fraud for decades and voter ID laws might inhibit their ability to do that.

Why are the "people of color" not speaking up and saying that they have ID? This people of color don't have ID lie has been floating around for ever and I never heard any of the "black spokes people" ever debunk the myth. I guess if you tell a lie often enough it must become true?

How about you

"all of us do that extra something to register voters, educate voters, and make sure that every single voter who shares our values has that opportunity to vote."

and help those that need help to get ID

McCaskill has been sweating bullets all year. It doesn't look like the dems will have another Todd Akin to run against and Missouri is turning more red since Trump was elected.

She is just trying to fire up the base but her days are numbered.

I hear McCaskill is sporting a different look from now until the elections...

It seems to me that would make the most sense, since you can't have a place to live, a job, or means of transportation without a ID. Instead of wasting all this time, money, and energy on fighting voter ID laws, why not do community outreach and get all these poor black folks she's thinks are to dumb to get licenses get them? Start in all the inner-cities, because they are most disenfranchised. I'd suggest starting in Baltimore, there's lots of black folks there, I'm sure they'd appreciate being told they are too stupid to find a DMV. After that a trip to East St. Louis, then maybe head north to Detroit and Chicago?

Let's help the commies spread their message. They think black people are too stupid to get a driver's license or a state ID.
