On Thursday’s NBC Today, correspondent Ronan Farrow devoted a five-minute report to promoting liberal claims of Republicans trying to suppress Democratic voter turnout on election day by targeting minority groups with voter ID laws. Farrow warned: “According to one recent survey, one in five voters lives in a state that requires photo ID to vote but don’t know it....a wave of new laws making it tougher than ever just to cast a ballot.”
He highlighted one victim of the policy: “Charda Hanamadas lives in Wisconsin. She's a mother of three and a public schoolteacher. And this year she was told she wouldn't be able to vote.” A soundbite played of Hanamadas declaring: “I just felt so stunned and disenfranchised and angry. I should be able to, you know, go to my middle school two blocks from my house and be able to cast my vote just like every other American....I’m heartbroken.”
