You know Dems love to trot out people and hold them up as an example of all those who will be harmed by passing or opposing whatever legislation they happen to be supporting at the moment?

Have they ever given one example of just who exactly it is that will be denied their right to vote if Voter ID laws go into effect? Have they ever said “Here's Grandma Josephine. She has absolutely no ID whatsoever; no driver's license, no SS card, no photo ID of any kind. And won't or can't get any. If Voter ID is passed she won't be able to vote.”

No. Because there are only 3 kinds of people that will be denied the right to vote if these laws are passed:

1) People who are deceased
2) Illegal aliens
3) Living people who wish to vote more than once.

If there are other people who will be affected (besides the politicians themselves) I'd like to hear about them.

I'm of the opinion that HOLDER is more fearful of preventing some other violations:

4) 'Community Organizers' who want to cast votes for live people who are incompetent, and/or reside in assisted living facilities (technically these people are still eligible, legal voters, even though their mental competence may be in question)
5) 'Community Organizers' who, via some sort of subterfuge, cast absentee ballots for live people who are unable to travel to the polls, but who may actually be mentally competent.

Too bad we have one of our most valuable and precious rights that can be stolen from us because politicians don't want us to have to demonstrate that we are the rightful owner of those rights... unlike having to demonstrate much more egregious evidence to drive a car, recover rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution (obtain CCW permits), get a credit card, fly via commercial airline, or leave the country.

It sure is ironic that photo identification is required for a citizen to re-enter this country following overseas travel, than it is for a non-citizen to enter and remain in the country illegally, to vote, or or for political scam artists to steal our elections.
