Butterfield Disappointed in Craven County Commissioners Request for Voter ID Bill

CONTACT BUTTERFIELD AND TELL HIM WE DO NOT APPRECIATE HIS THREATS TO FIGHT THE WILL OF CRAVEN COUNTY (AND ALREADY THE MAJORITY OF NC) VOTERS WHO SUPPORT VOTER PHOTO ID!!!!

“I am disappointed that the Craven County Board of Commissioners is among the latest to join a nationwide Republican-led initiative to suppress voting rights,” said Butterfield. “Despite very few instances of voter fraud (not true) in North Carolina and in Craven County, these commissioners claim that voter IDs are needed to protect the integrity of elections (THEY SURE ARE). The truth is jurisdictions across the country and state are seeking tougher restrictions on voting only because it will disenfranchise young, minority, and low-income voters--all of which traditionally vote Democratic. These efforts are purely political and have nothing to do with safeguarding elections.” 

Free IDs will be provided to those who need it.  How dare he insinuate that minority and low income voters are not capable of obtaining photo IDs when photo IDs are required to withdraw mandatory auto deposit government checks, obtain medical treatment or pick up prescriptions at pharmacy.  Also needed to access government services!
LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!!!


Perhaps I should send a list of "organizations" who are devoted to going after "young, minority, and low-income voters" -- there sure are a lot of them, including Democracy NC, who provided phony figures!
