#6 Republican's Elimination of Young Voters


This is probably the most hilarious and saddest thing I've witnessed all day. Many republican lawmakers in southern states & Wisconsin are now in demand of changing voting laws, implementing voter ID laws and assuming that young people shouldn’t be able to vote because they are usually "liberal supporters" and don't have property or pay property taxes.
Steven Colbert presented on his show a safeguard against voter fraud and ensuring that only the right people get elected, Republican lawmakers pass laws requiring voters to show government-issued photo IDs. Student ID aren't allowed, and if you dont have a government ID you can use your passport. Also it was also noted by a New Hampshire House Speaker William O'Brien. O’Brien believes that young people usually vote “liberal” and they don’t know any better and shouldn’t have the right to vote period. What he wants to do is  proposed updates to New Hampshire voting laws, including a bill barring election day registration and one requiring students to declare residency prior to elections if they intend on voting in their college towns. Many critics feel that the new laws target college students a concern that was heightened when footage showing O'Brien accusing students of "voting with their feelings" went viral.

Colbert also discusses how many fox news commentators as well as their hosts criticized young people on their voting choices indirectly criticizing their choice is massively supporting now President Obama in the 2008 presidential election. I suppose this is their own personal way of lobbying lawmakers of conservative states to try to execute laws that would make it difficult and time consuming for young people to vote e/g resemblance of poll taxing, pretty much discouraging them from putting the effort in voting for their pick.
Its odd isn’t it? 
The presidential election is around the corner and now these conservative host and radio host such as Rush Drugster Limbaugh are trying to encourage madness in fear of President Obama getting reelected or any other liberal/Democrat politician in any political ticket being elected to any governmental office. The desperation of heartless agenda is starting to surface and get messy.
Any objective person with a coherent mind would be able to see through their shenanigans and overcome it. 
A Hot mess indeed lol.
