The ruling, by far is not a silver cure all bullet, however a start in the right direction to bring honesty back into our election process.
The court's ruling left the door open in many areas though: Their ruling in part... "A State indisputably has a compelling interest in pre- serving the integrity of its election process. Eu v. San Francisco County Democratic Central Comm., 489 U. S. 214, 231 (1989). Confidence in the integrity of our elec-toral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy. Voter fraud drives honest citizens out of the democratic process and breeds distrust of our government. Voters who fear their legitimate votes will be outweighed by fraudulent ones will feel disenfranchised."

I'm proud to be able to say that here in Colorado we have to show a photo ID in order to vote at the polls. My understanding is that that is not correct. All you need in Colorado is a copy of a utility bill with your name and address on it. I'm sure it's hard to fake those.
When it comes to open borders, illegals, and our political class, don't ever underestimate the capacity and willingness of the latter to use duplicity. Always read the fine print; look for the inevitable loopholes.

It's amazing how the truth gets distorted. What family I have left in Phoenix is probably just as misinformed.

This is good, and they need to also get around to purging all the state rolls to verify people are legal, alive or existing at all.

I mentioned to my County Recorder that she needed to do just that...she agreed, but Prop 200 did not include that provision.
That's next.

How will citizens who are old or of nonEuropean extraction be disenfranchised? The rules are the same for all people. (rhetorical question).

Don't remember the status of GA but in MO, first the law was struck down by liberal judge near State Capitol, Jefferson City, the appealed to MO Supremes, who, very recently refused to overturn District Judge (Lawyer in a black robe.)
If this were some liberal abomination, everyone would claim that ruling was "precedent" covering all other similar suits but since the very idea of proving that you are voting legally, is now considered a "right wing conservative trick to disenfranchise the poor and minority."
Will this crap ever end, at least in my lifetime, I certainly pray for that day.

As far as the poor, most states have photo ids available at the motor vehicle, or town halls, for fee or a couple dollars.Here in Arizona, the Motor Vehicle Department gave my elderly mother a picture ID for free!
