Vandy up on the Gamecocks 10-0 in the 2nd.
And App State up 13-3 over Tenn in the 3rd.
They’ll be insufferable.
The street used to have bars and shops that attracted students and made campus night life much more lively.
When was that? As far as I can tell it hasn’t been that way for at least 20 years. All I remember is a hand full of old standbys like Mitch’s, and then a string of closed businesses…heck, even Starbucks and McDonalds shutdown on Hillsborough.
The democrats are trying to allow felons to be allowed to vote.
I support allowing felons to vote after completion of their sentence. I can’t think of a good reason to deprive someone of a fundamental right once they’ve paid their debt to society.
If you look at those links, there’s nothing that suggests the fraudulent payments were because of incorrect identification.
For instance, here’s NC’s sources of fraud. Far and away the biggest driver of ‘fraud’ is the work search requirement.
Frankly, that shocks me beyond belief and explains how the stealing and corruption those programs are rife with.
You have any statistics for that with a source?
Poverty? Lol
How do they get social security, unemployment, disability, good stamps etc?Hint: it involves a plastic card with a picture on it.
ORLY?
Paki,
You only had one post in pendingSomebody else got the other one, thanks for the assist.
In particular, the court found that North Carolina lawmakers requested data on racial differences in voting behaviors in the state. “This data showed that African Americans disproportionately lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV),” the justices wrote.
So the legislators made it so that the only acceptable forms of voter identification were the ones disproportionately used by white people. “With race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans,” the justices wrote. “The bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess.”
The data also showed that black voters were more likely to make use of early voting — particularly the first seven days out of North Carolina’s 17-day voting period. So lawmakers eliminated these seven days of voting. “After receipt of this racial data, the General Assembly amended the bill to eliminate the first week of early voting, shortening the total early voting period from seventeen to ten days,” the court found.
Most strikingly, the justices point to a “smoking gun” in North Carolina’s justification for the law, proving discriminatory intent. The state argued in court that “counties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black” and “disproportionately Democratic,” and said it did away with Sunday voting as a result.
HMM.
Sayings by Jack Handy
Can I borrow your shoes for a few minutes?
Time to don your tin foil hats.
It’s not just the ID portion. It’s the restriction of early voting, ending same day registration, ending preregistration for teens, changing poll hours…the whole thing was meant to make it harder to vote, which was directly meant to affect the young, the poor, the elderly, etc.
A GOP representative said as much on the Daily Show and resigned over it.
But we can pretend like that wasn’t the intent and that in person voter fraud is a serious issue when that’s never been shown to be true, and that any of those things I mentioned above would do anything to address in person voter fraud even if it was an issue.
It’s the 21st century. Why would you play around with in person voter fraud when there are electronic voting machines begging to be tampered with? Why risk a felony over one vote when you can change thousands at one time? Why aren’t we working on that issue?
But Pak, THAT was the question, to women, would passing a law that allows self identifiers to use their bathroom of choice make you feel threatened.
We’re definitely not going to agree on an answer if we can’t agree on the question.
I feel threatened by pollsters asking questions, where does that get recorded?

But to eliminate your own bias you have to ask the question multiple different ways.
And your proposed question is clearly biased toward getting the response you want.
There is nothing more convincing than anecdotal evidence.
The plural of anecdote is data.
What would you consider a representative sample? What populations will you be drawing your samples from? How will you word the question? Will there be any preceding questions?
I did an impromptu opinion poll and 100% of the women I surveyed said they would support the rights of LGBT individuals to use the restroom they self identify with. (I made sure to use ‘self identify’)
I asked a followup question about whether they were concerned about deviants using the law as cover to invade their privacy, and they responded no.
The only conclusion I can draw is an overwhelming majority of women do not support HB2.
Odd. My longer post isnt showing up.
Probably hitting one of the keywords that traps your post in limbo. Happens to me most often when I quote a mod that cursed.
