GOP Voter ID Laws Efficiently Disenfranchise College Voters | Crooks and Liars

This is what the party of Lincoln has reduced themselves to. Really shameful that once a party of integrity has been so thoroughly hijacked.

Right-

I have two kids in college. Neither had any problems with registration.

Preventing illegals, dead people, and criminals from voting is good common sense. That is why liberals oppose such measures.

No. The address on your ID doesn't change when you go to college. When I was in college (I dormed) I registered and voting on Campus, my liscence was still my home address.

That was you, not everyone does this. Besides, what's the issue then? You had Photo ID, why don't these students?

can we all just simply agree to disagree. Republicans will never back down from their stance and we won't back down from our stance. Hopefully all the judges block these laws or democrats figure out a loophole to beat it just like they did in pennsylvania.

No they don't. The laws just limit them to one vote in their district of residence.

Again, this is just another attempt of the democrats who so desperately need the dead and illegal immigrants to vote for their black Muslim president (as Madonna said it). If they lose then they can scream, rant and rave. What a group!

At this point in time they are only arguing about implementation issues and delaying it. This will be law in PA. As I previously mentioned there really is no need for the "loophole", it's pointless unless they are handing them out without any qualifications. You can get state issued one with as little as a SSN card but they will cross reference it, the only reason someone would need to use this loophole is if they are trying to game the system.

Even if they do implement it, if its just a watered down version of the original law, and its pointless. The whole point is to toughen the restrictions on getting an id and changing up the hours to confuse us.
