Keep your powder dry, folks. This one might get messy.
Hmmm?
So having to show photo id is voter intimidation. But a big black man holding a blunt force object in his hand is not. Yep, that makes sense but what I want to know is how I got to Bizzaro World?
This is disgusting. If we can not ensure our voting process is without thuggery and corruption, then we are lost as a country.
Higly restrictive only in the sense that you have to actually be the person you claim to be, be able to prove it with ID, and be legally eligible to vote as that person.
This could help eliminate multiple voting, voting under a bogus name, voting under a stolen name and voting for dead people.
So it is easy to see why a democrat would feel these requirements are highly restrictive.
Boo freakin hoo! So go to the DMV and pay a small fee to get one. Looked up the ID fee for my state. It's a whopping $12. And those over 65 or on SSI can get the fee waived. Oh, the horror! The expense! What a horrible burden it is to get a photo ID card!
“It could disenfranchise tens or hundreds of thousands of dead, criminal, insane, incompetent, imaginary, and illegal alien ineligible Democrat voters! These people (and their pets), deserve the right to vote for the Democrat candidate of their choosing at the ballot box!”
Too seldom do we hear the riposte to the absurd disenfranchisement claim, to wit: Every illegal voter disenfranchises a legal voter. Make this case!
Ping!
Who doesn’t have - or can’t get a photo ID? Everyone who drives has one. My mother never drove, but she had an Illinois state ID card. The current cost of a 5-year ID is $20. People over 65, the disabled, and the homeless can get an Illinois ID card for free. The one requirement for getting an ID is documented proof of the person’s legal name, date of birth, social security number, and signature. The state requires a person to prove his identity to get the ID in the first pladce, so why shouldn’t there be a similar requirement to vote?
One way or the other, any Illinoisan ought to be able to have and present a photo ID to prove they are who they say they are, and ought to offer it gladly to exercise a primary right of citizenship — just as they do when they get on an airliner, cash a check, or buy beer or (some) cold medicines.
The argument that voter ID laws will disenfranchise some citizens is bogus, so I can only assume that a challenge to them is based on the desire to make sure our elections are not free, fair, and open. Here, in the U.S.A.
Yes if photo ID is required 1,000’s of dead and/or illegal Democrat voters will be disenfranchised.
“Restrictive Voter ID Laws Could Disenfranchise Thousands of Eligible Voters ...” and looser laws disenfranchise legitimate American citizen votes. Isn’t that what they said we were fighting for...? Or more BS. If as I suspect it is BS, pull the troops home from all three wars and use Nukes sparingly later, as needed. They are no longer fighting for a fair right to vote.
Keeping it clean for Gene eh Michell Bennett.Of course the party of deception and destruction doe not want voter ID the communist Party USA couldn’t steal elections as easily if we had laws that protected we the people.
Holder can stall this for a few years, so it will not impact 2012.
But liberals know the writing is on the wall for their fraud operation.
I wonder how many state attorney generals will refuse to enforce these laws?
Is the DOJ still refusing to enforce the law requiring the states to clean up their voter role lists? T
“Studies have shown that as high as 11 percent of eligible voters nationwide do not have a government-issued ID. This percentage is higher among seniors, racial minorities, low-income voters and students.”
So, how’d they get registered to vote in the first place? Hmm?
Notice that it’s strictly democraps that are whining about it. The dirty swine are afraid that their rigged elections might be put into jeopardy.
Lastly, where was all this concern last election when NY and Il. did not send out absentee ballots in a timely fashion to thousands of troops stationed overseas?
The stench of democrap hypocrisy is overwhelming.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

By the time Holder gets through with approval of redistricting in states where mandated and now potential messing with the states voter ID laws the democrats may win a majority without a sweat.
Gosh, I wonder why.
