Excellent.
Does this ruling have any effect on MO and GA?
Yea!!!!
I bet Napolitano is not too happy about this. HOw many still think she will win in a few weeks after this ruling?
The very people that tend to vote in much lower numbers anyway.
This will also give a boost to the voter ID law in Missouri which was also struck down by a democrat party filled court.
More good news for the GOP. This has been one heck of a week for us, if we can top this week the election is in the bag.
Oh my, this is as unexpected as it is welcome.
It is still pretty easy to vote absentee in AZ.
You don't need any ID really.
The Dems just took a big hit in AZ.
Interesting that Stevens (at this point anyway) voted in favor of rationality.
WOO-HOO!!! Take that, Ninth Circus Court!
I'll be standing there with an ear to ear grin when I show the poll workers my driver's license. What a great day this is!

I took a federal test a few weeks ago. You needed to bring a photo ID with you to prove that you were the person signed up to take the exam in order to even be admitted into the exam room. Is not voting as important or more important than a test? If not, what's the difference?
After all, it is the WILL OF THE PEOPLE who voted on it in majority.
On the downside, what might the impact be if SCOTUS decides to invalidate elections in those states enforcing ID requirements a year from now? I'm sure Mr. Justice Kennedy would find that an appropriate remedy to the supposed disenfranchisement of these voters.
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. In my opinion it should be that way everywhere. Anyone who thinks voting is important will be willing to obtain the ID necessary to prove their eligibility.
I also think voting by mail should be discontinued except for the elderly and the handicapped who are physically incapable of getting to the polls, and those whose jobs (such as active-duty military members) require them to be out of their home state at voting time. Implementing such measures would greatly reduce the amount of voter fraud, and would also reduce voting by people who are simply too unmotivated to get to the polls. If they can't be bothered to go to the polls, they probably don't know enough about the issues to vote anyway.

This gives us a little of a control group that we can get clues from after the election, in analyzing a straight election versus what will be seen in some states.
Excellent! Nice to see some sanity from SCOTUS (vs. Kelo, Roe...).
