New York Times opinion columnist Charles M. Blow appeared on MSNBC with Martin Bashir on Tuesday where he condemned Republican state legislators’ efforts to pass voter identification laws. He said that many of those laws amount to a poll tax and that “this election is very close to being stolen before the votes are actually cast.” […]
He went on to say that voter ID laws across the country amount to a poll tax — a device used in the Jim Crow-era South to prevent minority voters from casting a ballot.
He continued, saying that he thinks voter registration limits could deliver one or two percentage points to Republicans which could shift a close election either at the state-level or nationally.
“This election is very close to being stolen before the votes are actually cast,” said Blow.
