Kansas Democrats may live to regret their party’s support of the Help America Vote Act of 2002.

Though Democrats have fought to preserve voter fraud as a weapon against honest elections, it is not going well for them. They have argued that requiring a Photo ID to cast a ballot is discriminatory, but that hasn’t worked. They have claimed that Voter ID with photos will keep people from the polls because—[please fill in your favorite reason here.] But that hasn’t worked because surveys have shown, with few exceptions, that minority voting increases when Voter ID is required. Now liberals are trying a new approach by saying, “It is too expensive for voters to purchase a driver’s license so Voter ID is a Civil Rights violation.”

The National Journal bleats that it can cost up to “$58.50 to vote” in some places: Oh the horror of it all!

The very good news in this story is that 33 states demand photo ID at polling stations. Can Democrats still find a way to cheat? Of course, but under these rules it takes more planning and smarter people to pull it off. Both of these commodities are in short supply for Democrats.

Another piece of good news is...

Sadly, it’s because the grocery store chain got threatened with legal action for supposedly selling to underage customers. Now everybody has to produce a photo ID.
