In Mexico, voters have to show an ID to vote, looks like this Judge wants Georgia to be fourth world entiity.

I like the Purple Ink idea, why could we not use it in the USA at least it would keep multiple voters away. Still a voter ID card should be the least we should require.

"Opponents argue it disenfranchises poor, elderly and minority voters who are less likely to have a driver's license or other valid government-issued photo ID."
Isn't it illegal to not be in posession of a valid ID at any given time?

I don't mind the purple ink at all. In fact I would be proud of it.......On Wednesday morning we would all see who voted at work and who didn't, unless it was absentee.......

This argument is so tired. Everybody has a photo ID. The tiny few who don't are more than likely anti-government zealots who have no intention of voting in the first place.
i don't know how it is there, but its against the law up here to not have ID.

A state judge has thrown out the latest version of Georgia's law requiring voters to show photo ID, ruling that it violates the constitutional rights of the state's voters. And in related news, there will be record voting for Dems this election cycle.

BTTT for your and other comments on this thread.

"I like the Purple Ink idea,.."
If I have 10 fingers and 10 toes, can I vote 20 times? If so, that would at least limit the multi votes done by the Dems!

This law has been struck down by several Judges. Judge Bedord is just the latest. But Bedford was not appointed, he was elected in a non-partisan race. So I can't say for sure what his political affiliation is, but I seem to recall seeing or hearing of him attending a lot of GOP functions.

From the Georgia State Constitution:
"Article II, Section I, Paragraph II, states: Every person who is a citizen of the United States and a resident of Georgia as defined by law, who is at least 18 years of age and not disenfranchised by this article, and who meets minimum residency requirements as provided by law shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people."
The Constitution sets forth several requirements, two of which are that the person be a citizen of the United States and a resident of Georgia. It is not up to the judiciary to decide what ID satisfies those requirements, that is a function of the legislature.
More judicial bs.

Really?
14th Amendment, Section 2:
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,(See Note 15) and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
What is your source?
