Kansas delegates head to N.C. for Democratic convention:
I'm just surprised it took this long.
Wonder what Ms. Lehman will think about having to show a government-issued photo-ID simply to be admitted to the convention venue. I mean, delegates are voters, yes? So obviously the DNC's photo-ID requirement is racially motivated and meant to suppress delegate turnout.[Delegate Pat] Lehman said her biggest concern about the election itself is voter-identification laws that Republicans have pushed through in a number of states, including Kansas.She said the purpose is to suppress the vote, especially among Democratic-leaning constituencies such as elderly voters. And she scorned the Republicans’ contention that the laws are designed to combat voter fraud.“It’s like Hitler said, if you’re going to tell a lie, tell a big lie, and if you tell it often enough and say it in a loud enough voice, some people are going to believe you,” Lehman said.
