Maybe we need a Voter Registration Van with ID capability that goes to houses that call them for their services.

The problem with that is that the people in the van might get suspicious when they keep getting called to the same UPS storefronts and abandoned warehouses.

From the article: “Adelman claimed that Crawford was “not binding precedent” when it comes to applying the balancing test between a claimed injury to the right to vote and a state statute regulating elections, because the Supreme Court was supposedly “fragmented” on this issue.”

If this is the case, then we don’t need a Supreme Court. If the only acceptable precedent requires unanimity on the Court, there is little need for the Court.

Just sayin’

That would be a mighty expensive program that would only be a benefit for a comparative few.

My MIL is 90 and even without our help she’d find a way to get that photo ID if she didn’t already have one.

Maybe the political parties should arrange transportation for those few people affected like that, they sure don’t hesitate to get them to the polls.

My point only is that there could be no argument then about voter ID. If it’s free, it’s available, and they’ll even drive you to get one, then what argument could possibly remain?

If liberals were honest, they couldn’t get their agenda advanced one inch.

You’re correct, it would take every possible argument away from the Holder’s on down the line. DOJ has probably spent enough on lawsuits over this to pay for that free transportation already.

In Colonial times, in the run-up to the Revolution, Crown judges who deviated so far from the path of justice would have seen their houses burned, their businesses looted and their persons insulted. It would have been make crystal clear that their rulings were unacceptable.

“Adelman made much of the fact that there was a lack of evidence of impersonation fraud in Wisconsin and cited that as a reason for tossing out the statute.”

And, the reason there’s a lack of evidence of impersonation fraud is ... lack of a requirement for photo ID.

Anyone who enters the polling place in Indiana may cast a vote. BUT it may be a previsional ballot that require certain actions by the voter within a designated period of time after Election Day ( providing ID included)
All efforts are made to make sure legitimate voters counted. ( poll workers have been known to provide transportation in that designated time period for those who may have problems getting to the BMV to get ID)

When one Indianapolis precinct had over 100% voting it prompted the SOS to push to clean up the process. We’ve had to tweek it a couple of times but any state who doesn’t have voter ID in place should definitely look at what’s in place here.

Wasn’t he the judge that was reversed on the Wisconsin Union bill decision?
