Sometimes the guys in the Justice Department should just not speak. The problems all started when Georgia decided to require photo ID's to vote which some feel would be discriminatory since most of the people who would be affected would be poor minorities and the elderly since not as many have driver's licenses. When trying to explain how he believes it isn't going against the Voter's Rights Act and doesn't discriminate against minorites, he puts it in a rather interesting way:

Tanner explained that “primarily elderly persons” are the ones affected by such laws, but “minorities don’t become elderly the way white people do: They die first.” So anything that “disproportionately impacts the elderly, has the opposite impact on minorities,” he added. “Just the math is such as that.”

How can you argue with such a math wiz? You can find the video here, the crazy stuff starts about a minute and a half into the first video listed. His job is the chief of the Civil Rights Divisions’ voting rights section of the Justice Department. Nice.
