Magic Obama Logic: Mandatory Voting = Good, Mandatory Voter IDs = Bad and Racist

Curious how Obama proposes to enforce mandatory voting without voter-id #Obama broaches the idea of #mandatoryvoting http://t.co/KNoXcUyRTC

It’s being reported that Obama recently went on record that he believes the U.S. should have mandatory voting.

An interesting stance, wouldn’t you say, considering he’s staunchly against mandatory voter ID laws. In fact, his latest pick for Attorney General to replace Eric Holder went on the record that mandatory voter ID laws are all fueled by, what else? Racism.

So…mandatory voter laws = good, but mandatory voter ID = bad and racist? How exactly does that work again?

Insert the Twitchy round up:

So, we can mandate voting but not Photo ID. Is that correct? Is that where we are as a nation? — Aaron Gardner (@Aaron_RS) March 19, 2015

Voter ID – bad. Mandatory voting – good. Got it. #INSANE

Mandatory voter ID: Terrible idea Mandatory voting: Great idea #Logic — Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) March 18, 2015

@NoahCRothman @justturnright So voter ID is bad but mandatory voting is good?! So how “they” gonna know who is who w/o some sort of ID? — Tony Lockhart (@tonylb17) March 19, 2015

And here’s another…

“Give 11 million illegal immigrants the right to vote and them make voting mandatory….yeah, I see…” — himoverthere http://t.co/1hNM17CmFi

Guess it’s the same logic that brought you this:

Req. photo ID 4 voting is called racist & discriminatory! 4 a Michelle Obama book signing event it’s called mandatory! http://t.co/E7z8wYIQ — Beers4Goats (@beers4goats) June 7, 2012

Worse, maybe even eyeball-exploding painfully worse, though are some of the arguments on how mandatory voting laws are good for all of society and are equal to laws against things like domestic violence (while, earlier up, still arguing mandatory voter IDs are racist).

WARNING: The following Twitter exchange may be physically painful to read.

(You were warned.)

How does he even plan to do this anyway?

Oh yeah, that’s right. He’s got a pen and a phone.

@jaketapper And I'm guessing he'll issue this by executive order
