DOJ Official: Voter ID Laws Discriminate Against Whites

This is just unbelievable. John Tanner, chief of the DOJ Voting Rights Section, not only argues that voter ID laws discriminate against whites, but here's his explanation as to why:

It's probably true that among those who don't [have photo ID], it's primarily elderly persons. And that's a shame. You know, creating problems for elderly persons just is not good under any circumstance. Of course...that also ties in to the racial aspect, because our society is such that minorities don't become elderly. The way white people do. They die first.

Your DOJ at work.
