Angela Stampey Vs Tavares White Analysis

Decent Essays
Angela Stampey is for voter ID while Tavares White is against it. Angela has the better argument because she uses strong up to date facts while Tavares uses facts that are not up to date.

Angela makes an amazing argument using up to date facts like "after passing a voter ID law in 2008 African American voter percentage increased". She also says that "in several recent surveys less than 1 percent of the voting age public do not have voting IDs".

While Tavares uses an older survey saying that "up to 21 million American citizens do not have current government issued photo IDs. Tavares also slanders Republican lawmakers by saying "Republican lawmakers are trying to prevent minorities and the poor from from voting by requiring photo IDs". Doesn't

    The sub-argument on the loss of data from no longer having non-voters barely had any support to make it a plausible statement. The data that is collected from elections helps the candidate to know how to reel in more voters to their side. Burrus’ unwise argument lacked support to show that we still have ignorant voters and that loss of data from non-voters helps to bring in more voter for either side that is currently…

Louisiana both indulge in constitutional debates that shaped our current perspectives. Plessy v. Ferguson case reiterated the separate but equal clause, that the constitution is "color-blind," and that the facilities as long as they were equal, can be separate. In Bradwell v. Illonois.…

    The case of Plessy v. Ferguson was based on the circumstances under which Homer Plessy bought a first class train ticket and deliberately sat in the train car reserved for whites, even though he was one eighth black. Homer was working with a group of people whose intention was to purposely get someone arrested for breaking the Louisiana law separating white and black train cars, so that they could bring the law to court. In 1896 the case went to court and both the Louisiana State Court and the Supreme Court ruled that the law was acceptable since it upheld the doctrine of “separate but equal” and that Plessy was at fault. There were many forces at play which helped push the courts towards their decisions, mainly custom, precedent, and the understanding…

    There is currently a great debate in our nation about the necessity of Voter ID laws and the impact they will have on our democracy. It is with clear distinction that the Voter ID laws recently passed in various states, noted by right wing support, are a clear infringement on the ideals of a collective and openly participatory democracy. Voter ID laws, which in their inception are supposedly to protect democratic thought, would be a noble effort if they were implemented without malicious intentions and voter fraud was actually a problem. These Voter ID laws, in fact, act to deter and discriminate against minorities and various groups. From 2000-2010 there were only 13 cases of voter fraud demonstrating that there is no reason to enact cumbersome…

    In the wake of a powerful movement like the Selma march, LBJ understood the importance and significance that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would hold; his signing in of the law put into place one of the most effective and favorable civil rights acts. Prior to act, although the 15th Amendment allowed for all men to vote, there were rigid literacy tests or high fees in place to discourage African Americans from trying to involve themselves in politics. By outlawing these unfair practices, LBJ was able to level the playing field for minorities and give them an equal opportunity in the vocalization of their concerns. Martin Luther King, Jr. felt the monumentality of the act, telling Johnson, “‘you have created a second emancipation’” (Califano…

    In 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights bill which sought to make racial disfranchisement illegal. This act stands as one of the most powerful pieces of civil rights legislation within American history. However, before the Voting Rights bill majority of African Americans were denied the right to vote; creating a wide gap between white and black voters. This gap was predominantly seen in southern states due to the large African-American population. Today, voting amongst Americans depicts a very different image.…

    “Is voting a right or a privilege?” That question came to my mind, when I was thinking about human rights. I think it is ethical to say that voting is a right for everyone because everyone should have the right to choose their leaders regardless if you are a felony or not. In the past only rich and powerful people were able to vote, however as of today everyone that lives in the United States that are citizen over the age of 18 now has the right to vote. As Michelle Alexander gives examples in her book The New Jim Crow how African American don 't get to vote due to the color of their skin.…
