Breaking: Pennsylvania Judge Upholds Voter ID Law
NYT ^ | 8/15/12 | TIMOTHY WILLIAMS

Posted on 08/15/2012 7:58:03 AM PDT by NowApproachingMidnight

A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday refused to grant an injunction on a new voter identification law that Democrats say could harm President Obama’s re-election chances by unfairly targeting minorities, college students and others in a key swing state.

College Students????

Is there ONE college or university in the US that does NOT require a photo ID?

So, how can a voter ID disenfranchise them?

[Of course, WE know why the Dems are against voter ID.]

God help us if this case gets to the Supreme Court where we now have three distinct factions: 4 conservatives, 4 liberals, and 1 moron.

If these people aren’t smart enough to get and ID, they shouldn’t vote anyway.

. . . by unfairly targeting minorities, college students and others in a key swing state.

Actually, it does target minorities (such as those in certain Philadelphia precints who vote multiple times), college students (from New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and the New England states which have reciprocity agreements with our commonwealth) and others (especially the deceased). So their argument is not exactly groundless. < / sarcasm >

This is how it’s done in a country that (now) takes the integrity of its election process seriously. Note the thumb print on the back:

I feel the reason the minorities are against this law is because if the have to show I. d. they may be picked up under outstanding warrents.

That’s a rhetorical question...right? The examples you give are about legal voting activities. The lib side of the argument has never been about protecting legal voting.

Since the Supreme Court already rejected every argument that Holder is making in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008), the only real question is why Holder isn't getting sanctioned for filing frivolous lawsuits.

Why not be generous with your time, and take the older folks to the DMV or other office, where they can get their government issued photo ID?

They already spent their time dragging them to state hearings and media events to publicize their plight.

This is huge for the election.

Actually, the voter ID law was a booby prize for conservatives because our Quisling State GOP Chair blocked a far more important piece of legislation which would have awarded Pennsylvania's electoral votes by congressional district, the same system used in Maine and Nebraska.

That would have given us a far better election dynamic than the voter ID law because the cheating could not be concentrated in a handful of precincts. Or, more properly, said cheating would only have the potential to sway the two statewide electoral votes, not the 18 awarded by congressional district.

I still wonder how they are going to enforce it in certain Philadelphia precincts controlled by Eric Holder's New Black Panther Party thugs. Sample conversation:

"Show me your photo ID, please."

"See the uniformed guy out there with a nightstick, cracker? My ID is right on the end of his nightstick."

"OK. Here's your ballot."

Why don’t the liberals organize efforts to make sure their voters get the proper ID so that they can comply with the law??

Because dead people and illegal aliens are two of the Democrats' most reliable voting blocks. Plus making voters show identification makes it harder to vote multiple times using different names.

If they want to buy cold medication at a supermarket they have to show ID.Or beer.Or liquor.

What’s the problem?

Don’t answer, it’s rhetorical.

The Democrats want to protect voter fraud under the guise of “disenfranchising the people”. Would they be happy if only Romney voters show ID? The only people getting disenfranchised are the people who vote once honestly and then have their vote cancelled out by a repeat voter.

No, there isn't.
Additionally, it's hard to figure out why the rats think they can get away with their lies. I mean, Democrats need photo ID to get their welfare, food stamps, and Section 8 housing don't they? If they don't, they should.
