"The court gave no reason for its action,"

"After a federal appeals court upheld the law earlier this week, a coalition of private groups had asked the high court to intervene"

Wtf..... even mexico requires proof of citizenship to vote.... but when we ask our mexicans to prove their citizens, were racist.

Republican plan to win elections = turn voters away.

So let me get this right, I have to have a driver license to drive, a Social Security Number for employment, in Illinois a FOID card to own a gun. But asking for asking for identification to vote, is to much to ask...............

Are guns and voting really equivalent in your mind?

I guess you completely missed the point of my post

[Shockwave]

well, yeah, actually. Voting can much larger ramificiations.

Seriously, we have to ids for oretty much anything, often in duplicate.


Yet when asked to show ID to vote, its somehow wrong? Its simply ensuring you are who you say you are, and that youre legally eligable to vote in this country. I dont see how this disenfranchises anyone.... if you cant prove your OD, you shouldnt be allowed to vote

This has absolutley zero to do with republicans. Its basic logic that pretty much every other 1st world democracy does.

Same thing in texas...'Obama- appointed US district judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos'  blocked Texas voter ID laws

http://news.yahoo.com/courts-block-voter-id-laws-texas-wisconsin-050359994.html

The article is of course by libs who make every effort to point out in their 'reporting' how 'racist and harsh' the simple requirement of having to show an ID is to vote

Makes my fucking blood boil. There is NO CONCEIVABLE REASON to fight these laws other than to maintain voter fraud.

These activist judges need to be removed by force...

[Dos Equis]

Crazy.  I don't believe requiring someone to show an ID to vote is discriminatory at all, particularly when people literally have years to obtain an ID before an election. 

[loco]

Republicans should turn Democrats' dirty tricks on them by taking advantage of this and bringing in truck loads and ships full of undocumented foreigners from commie hating nations to vote Republican.

The democrats' entire platform is emotion and the race card. Never have to back it up with anything, just yell racism over and over.

Maybe they read the recent GAO report on states that implemented voter ID laws which concluded the that laws, whether intentional or not, resulted in lower voter turnout among eligible voters, most notably among black people, young people and newly registered voters.

LOL, having to show a drivers license or other form of ID caused people not to vote? I always have my drivers license on me, guess the process of pulling their wallet from their back pocket is simply to much effort.

They literally have no legitimate arguement for it. None.

This is just yet another case where something that has the support of the vast majority of the population is shot down by an acfivist liberal judge

That ain't very nice of you.  Straw Man spent an hour searching Google for the best possible argument for this.  He found it, and was kind enough to share with us all.

I like how no one yet has actually responded to the facts of the GAO report

who fucking cares? Waahhh, if i have to show id i wont turn out.

Fuck you then.

They definitely play the race card early and often.

[pedro01]

So what's to stop people voting multiple times?

Out here in Thailand, you are registered at a polling station. You have to go to that polling station, show your id card & vote.

Without the id card, it'd still work 'cause you can't just pitch up & vote.

So in the US - do you get assigned to a particular place to vote?
