New voting laws in 23 of the 50 states could keep more than 10 million Hispanic U.S. citizens from registering and voting, a new study said on Sunday, a number so large it could affect the outcome of the November 6 election.
The Latino community accounts for more than 10 percent of eligible voters nationally. But the share in some states is high enough that keeping Hispanic voters away from the polls could shift some hard-fought states from support for Democratic President Barack Obama and help his Republican rival, Mitt Romney.
>>SNIP<<
That imposes onerous and sometimes expensive documentation requirements on voters, especially targeting naturalized American citizens, many of whom are Latino, the liberal group said.

I take it the real problem is not the documentation requirements, but the idea that it could take votes from Obama. My answer is, if they don't have a naturalization certificate they have no business voting!!!
You’re right. This writer’s premise is patently dishonest - this is about getting Obama elected.
They have to have Identification for food stamps and Sec. 8 housing, so that should take care of I Ds fo those millions of “Hispanics.”
I don’t give a hoot where they call the old country. all I care about is if they are law abiding citizens. if they snuck in, they are not law abiding and they ain’t voting
I am originally from Cuba, came in 1961 at the age of 13, became a resident and then citizen in 1975. I have not encountered a problem voting since I became a citizen, EVER!
10 million illegals might not get to vote for Barry unlike 2008.
Maybe if they are given a $100 each incentive pay for voting they will then go and vote on their own!
This will be next.
My husband suggests the libs are pre-positioning themselves for court challenges to Romney’s WIN. I bet they will try to drag the recounts out for MONTHS. I hope our side is preparing for Chicago Mafia Shenanigans.
Or.... May not.
“Decades of study have found virtually no use of false identification in U.S. elections or voting by non-citizens”
How could they possibly know that, or study it?
Its very simple. Grandma dies, the daughter still votes for her. The room-mate moved to a new state...somebody still votes for him locally.
Its indetectable. If you know where a dead/moved away friend or relative lived, you can go vote for him. No study can discern whether or not that has happened.
"To disenfranchise is to take away someone's right to vote or to deprive someone of power, rights and privileges."
The ID requirement does not DO anything ... it requires something.
Y'need a ticket to ride the roller coaster, a token or a coin to ride a bus, clean hands before eating to stay healthy, warm clothes in the winter ...
The list is endless.
They’ve had four years to figure out how to get an ID since the last Presidential election.
If getting an ID is such a concern, I’m sure our all powerful government could have come up some government program to get one to all without.

THIS is exactly what causes their “concern.”
How can you “disenfranchise” anyone who is not “franchised” in the first place? These LIB degenerates are so moronic and destructive.
Its indetectable. If you know where a dead/moved away friend or relative lived, you can go vote for him. No study can discern whether or not that has happened.
With the advent of computers and technology it would take some effort but programs could be set up to cross reference items such as death certificates, felony convictions, driver license changes, marriage/divorces, etc. against voter roles. This should be an ongoing process today where the above type info is sent directly to the voter registrar for checking.
Millions of Hispanics who are citizens but who do not have proper identification? Give me a break. An adult-age citizen of the United States with no proper ID.????!!!! The writer of this article should be choked for appealing to the stupidity of anyone reading the article.
The other day three applications for absentee ballots arrived in the mail. One for my husband, one for me, and one for the woman we bought this condo from two years ago. All we know about her wherebouts are that she lives in an assisted care faciltiy. We marked hers “Moved” and returned it to the post office. Two days later it arrived in our mail again, and again we returned it to the Post office. The Post Office said WE would have to file a change of address request for a woman we cannot find and have never met.
But one of us could have requested an absentee ballot in her name and used it, and no one except us would have been the wiser.
It can be discerned, if somebody wants to spend a little money.
(1) Take a voting district with suspiciously-high turnout.
(2) Take a random sample of voters, using a high sampling for the absentee ballots.
(3) For each voter, use skip-trace and credit-check databases to see if there is evidence that the person is there (credit cards at that address, utility payments in that person's name).
(4) For voters that you don't see evidence of somebody by that name actually living there, have a PI pay a personal visit.
(5) Also check for people who show multiple addresses that signify multiple residences (college students, snowbirds, owners of vacation homes) and see if there are multiple voter registrations for the same person.
