Get a Life, Sue!

Sue Lucas of Garland has suffered discrimination! And it's all the fault of the Republicans. Evidently, Sue doesn't read the newspapers very much. I had read several days before the November elections that the name on your photo ID had to match exactly the name on your voter registration. For example, a woman whose maiden name was used in place of her middle name would have to provide documentation that she was the person who was entitled to vote.

Sue didn't know this. So she showed up to vote with her drivers license which had her maiden name on it. Her middle name was on the voter registration. Sue was not turned away. She was allowed to vote on a provisional ballot which would be counted as soon as she provided the documentation required. But now she knows "the true pain of discrimination." Get a life, Sue! You suffered discrimination only if they let everybody else with non-matching names vote with no verification. And you presented not one shred of evidence that had occurred.
