Newsmax reports: Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough said Monday it was “outrageous” to suggest that voter photo identification laws are racist, claiming the issue has been covered in a “one-sided way” by the media. “If you believe that somebody should have a photo ID to prove they are who they are, that somehow this governor of North Carolina is racist, or everybody in the state of Texas is racist —it’s outrageous,” Scarborough said, referring to efforts in those two states to imposed tougher voter ID laws. “This has been covered in such a one-sided way.”
…Scarborough suggested that some of the reports on how the restrictions would impact black and minority voters unfairly are blown way out of proportion.
