But Adelman sided with opponents, who said it disproportionately excluded poor and minority voters because they’re less likely to have photo IDs or the documents needed to get them.


This country was founded on individual rights, not group rights. One is not “poor” or “minority”. Rather, one is an individual that either can or can’t prove he is a citizen. And the inability to do so may, in fact, cause one to be poor, but that doesn’t mean one should therefore not have to do the same thing any other person has to do to be able to vote.

This is absolutely a dispicable decision. Voting in this state is a waste of time and effort.

“Poor” is not a protected class. You’re absolutely right. I don’t see anything in the US Constitution that says the poor (or rich for that matter) get different treatment under the law from everyone else.

It’s ridiculous. I’m sick and tired of libs whining that every single aspect of life is “hard” or “impossible” for the “poor and minorities”.

Do these libtards live in the real world? (/rhetorical) Ever stand behind a food stamp user in a grocery store? They have iphones but no ID?

Adelman and these stupid judges are retarded.

She fell for the old Marxist lie about how rich white capitalists keep the minorities down, rob them of their labor, and only are concerned with themselves and profits.

Today that is translated into discrimination against the poor, old, minorities, children and Miley Cyrus fans.
