Court upholds SC voter ID law

The State ^ | 10/10/12

[Between the Lines]

South Carolina’s voter ID law does not violate the federal Voting Rights Act, a federal court in Washington, D.C., has ruled.

However, the law -- which requires voters to present a state-approved ID with their picture at the polls before casting a ballot -- will not take effect until 2013, meaning it will not affect S.C. voters during the November presidential election.

The U.S. Justice Department had blocked implementation of the new law, passed in 2011. Civil rights groups also had challenged the law, saying it unfairly discriminated against minority voters, who were less likely to have access to the records or state facilities necessary to get a photo ID.

"Every time the federal government has thrown us a punch, we have fought back" Gov. Nikki Haley said after the decision. "This win is not just for South Carolina, this is a win for our country."

Just have all the DHS offices issue photo ID cards, those ""minority""" peoples sure as hell know how to get to those offices for their freebies.

Problem solved.

Unfortunately, the Justice Depart challenge had its intended effect. The law was upheld, but the court ruled it was too late to enforce it until 2013. Thanks AG Holder!!

I love how these judges put off implementing these laws, as if the election in November is a surprise. There’s been an election every two years without fail since 1788. And there is usually some election for some office in November of every year. Who exactly is not on notice that there’s an election in November??

Of course, we know the answer, “let’s delay this thing so we can contiue the fraud through this election to keep as many pro-government people in office as possible at every level. Then we’ll come up with something new to keep the fraud going before the next election.”
