On Voter ID Laws

Good reasoning here:

 

HARRISBURG — Groups challenging the new voter ID law made their final case Thursday, arguing that requiring photo identification at the polls could disenfranchise many Pennsylvania voters but particularly those who are poor, uneducated, Hispanic and female.

But the state — in its most extensive defense of why the law should be in effect for the November elections — countered that the requirement to show photo identification applies equally to all voters. While some people may need to go through the effort of obtaining identification, said Senior Deputy Attorney General Patrick Cawley, that does not make the law unconstitutional.

“To be sure, voters do share some responsibility to obtain an ID and to get themselves to the polls,” Mr. Cawley said. “The law does not require the commonwealth to eliminate all inconveniences.”

Anyone remember the motor-voter law and how the Dems abused that to get people registered who were not citizens but could get drivers licenses? Just something to think about.

    They didn’t abuse it. That was the whole point of the law in the first place.

    Anyone who is against voter ID is pro-voter fraud. Period. The GOP should be making that point. BTW, I heard today that the Obama administration is trying to disenfranchise military voters again. So much for wanting every vote to count …

    @ Iron Fist:

    That’s because Обама knows the military…with the exception of teh gheys and gangstas…has nothing but contempt for him!

    Just as “Fast and Furious” was not a “botched operation.”

    SEIU is lead plaintiff. From one of the filings:

    Plaintiffs, a group of unions and a community organizing group, have brought this suit arguing that Ohio’s provisional ballot law, including the requirement that the signature of a person voting a provisional ballot match the signature on record for that voter, violates the Constitution and other federal laws.

    In other words, forget “photo ID”; the plaintiffs hear want to make sure that the signatures of the people voting provisional ballots don’t have to match. That takes the fraud efforts to a whole new level.

    Damn…they’re not even pretending anymore…

    Maybe I should go to the polls and sign in as Adolf Hitler…and still get to vote!

    @ Macker:

    No, you’d have to pick a name like ‘Barack Obama’ so nobody would dare question who you were.
