JUDGE BLOCKS NORTH DAKOTA'S VOTER IDENTIFICATION LAW

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday blocked North Dakota's voter identification law after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them - the latest court ruling against voting laws that critics say disproportionately affect minorities.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland issued a temporary restraining order and criticized the state for its 2013 repeal of provisions that let people without valid IDs vote if someone vouched for them or if they signed an affidavit swearing they were a qualified voter.

So now we have North Dakota along with Wisconsin, Kansas and North Carolina where federal judges have, coincidentally it seems, blocked State voter ID laws.

Anyone see a pattern here leading up to the November election?

What this means is that North Dakota Indians are dumber than a box of rocks. I mean, what else can it mean?

Do they need an ID to collect Indian benefits or get on the reservation?

It wasn’t racist for the DNC to require photo ID to get into their convention though, oh noooo.

Yes - there is a pattern. States’ right no longer count.

The Confederacy should have won.

In theory, if not in practice (for several reasons), all Indians living on recognized reservations are listed in the “Tribal Rolls”. These rolls are often used to provide the US Govt with a list of their tribe members who may be eligible for federal benefits under various treaties and agreements.

That is why frauds like Ward Churchill and Elizabeth Warren couldn’t be found on legitimate lists.

I am assuming that all reservation Indians are given tribal ids (or US Govt ids) so that they can get US Govt materials.

Also, the Tribal Police know who is a member of their tribe and can vouched for them, as well as provide historical and legal documentation about them.

There is no reason why any registered Indian should lack any kind of official id, Tribal or US Govt.

Some judges are just intellectually corrupt.

I am hoping Billy Graham’s Nationwide voting Rally tour will have an impact on all the non voting evangelicals. We need a huge landslide, and I believe we can get one!

after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them

I've been seeing these arguments for years now. Yet, I'm still waiting for one of these afflicted groups of morons to explain EXACTLY what they mean.

How does presenting a driver's license or other photo ID...that is available for free in most states...burden someone?

No time to appeal and reverse it before the election. Its all part of the plan.

Yes they did, too late for any remedy before the election just like the others. Obviously coordinated.

No, it means that liberal, democratic lawyers have invaded the reservations and told them that they’re too dumb to have an ID and if they just vote multiple times for the democratic ticket all will be well.
