The same people who show up at the welfare office and say "Gimme money"."

Great post!

There used to be a stigma to using food stamps and the like. Not anymore. Too many generations who's job is to "go to the mailbox"

There is NO WAY Id could disenfranchise a voter! How stupid is this?

[Waco]

Does this meab I have to show some photo ID when robbing a bank? SHEESH How unfair!!@

In Indiana, more than 20 percent of black voters do not have access to a valid photo ID, according to an October 2007 study by the University of Washington.

I don't care. They need to identify themselves. If they are too stupid to figure out how to get them or self righteous that they don't believe them then they don't vote. TDB. No more voting fraud RATS. Your days are numbered.

Voter id for sure will deny some voters here in Calif their right to vote: for one, the millions of illegals who can’t be bothered to bring a copy of a utility bill or similar document showing they are US citizens (which is the extent of the Dem Party-controlled Calif govt’s anti-voting fraud efforts).

Dead people (described as “some elderly” in the Media), cats and dogs will suffer too.

Right on. If blacks are 12% of the population, and 20% don’t have voter ID. then a little over 2% of the total population doesn’t have voter ID.

Which means that almost 98% would. So what’s the problem?

Only half the people vote anyway(except for Philadelphia, where the voting rate is 110%(!)). So we are talking about 1% of the population at risk.

In a post 9/11 age, everyone needs a photo ID to do anything anyway. Some people are just going to have to get off their butts to be a useful citizen and get a voter ID to preserve the veracity of the vote.

Imagine that!

I think that would be wise. He’s against universal health care, too. Also, obviously, he supports the military and the mission.

[OldArmy52]

“Across the country, as many as 20 million people lack such identification, most of them minorities and the elderly who don’t have drivers’ licenses or passports and are unable to afford the cost of obtaining documentation to apply for such identification, advocacy groups say.
Then how on earth can they go down and vote in the first place???????????”

Here in Calif, a Calif Resident Picture Id card is openly available for very little.

There are 3rd World countries with better anti-voter fraud measures than here in the USA. The Dem Party values the One Party Press and massive voter fraud. Their “count every vote” (to include illegals, felons, dead and pets but not military serving overseas) is important to them.

The Supreme Court's refusal to strike down an Indiana law...

Worded another way: The Supreme Court's refusal to strike down upholding an Indiana law...

The Constitution says:

Article I Section 4 Clause 1

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Article II Section 1 Clause 2

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors...

It's clear that the Constitution gave the States the power to choose how to run their elections, and if the States want Voter ID's, that's their Constitutional right to require it.

Does this mean dead people will have a harder time voting?

[Michael.SF.]

"It's especially worrisome that the court has sent a signal making it easier to put up barriers to people voting," said Michael Waldman,

What a putz.

Try this:

"It's especially pleasing that the court has sent a signal making it more difficult for Democrats to steal elections by allowing non citizens to vote," said MichaelSF and about a million honest voters,

[vpintheak]

Yeah! The illegals and criminals will be disenfranchised! The horror!

[boop]

You have to show ID to buy cigs in WA state. Does this law disenfranchise tobacco buyers?Or is there an inalienable right to buy smokes?

[SmithL]

Does this mean dead people will have a harder time voting?

Not in Memphis, for as long as the Fords own a funeral parlor and there are still Fords not in Jail

[MSF BU]

The court has been ruling the straight conservative or constitutionalist line this year; I hope this is reflected in the Second Amendment case.

Liberals say its too hard to have clean elections. Thank goodness we're not a Third World despotism.
