Since there is so many problems with elections in this country, perhaps we need to have all the voting places at state or federal courthouses or buildings that require ids. Or possibly at airports where picture ids are required. It puzzles me that maybe minorities are discriminated against and can't fly, enter state or federal courthouses because they don't have proper ids. I think holder needs to look into all these violations against minorities.

We also need tsa agents to check voters for id or make them strip search.

Democrats will then find it "discriminatory" that minorities have to stand in a long line to vote. Didn't you know that it's unconstitutional to inconvenience poor people, the elderly, students, and brown people who vote for Democrats?

Actually, it is unconstitutional to deny or hinder a non-felon citizen's right to vote... not only that, but it's illegal to restrict access to the disabled/elderly or ANY ethnic group (regardless of their political leanings). So your sarcasm is moot and ironically accurate.

So you actually do think that Democrats would sink to a new low by making standing in line a discriminatory and unconstitutional act, even in light of the fact that black voters volunteered to stand in long lines to elect the first half black President? Is that where we are in 2012?

So I take it there's nothing to the story that ACORN is setting up voter registration booths at all southern CITY US border crossings and hitting the human pack trails out of Mexico to get new registrations started?

Maybe they're running out of obituaries and cemeteries?

Let them vote in a state or federal building that requires an id.

But those places aren't passing laws to keep old blacks from voting? I think you may be right and the black militias wouldn't have to work so hard in trying to keep people from voting.

Our county courthouse was forced to install a lift so disabled people could get to the floors to do business. One old lifetime wheelchair occupant said he didn't mind sitting outside because the people inside would come down and take care of his business but they had to spend all that money for the three story building. Nice seats to ride on.

Yeah, make "them" go through a metal detector as well! However, "decent, law-abiding 'Mericans" can continue to vote in schools, rec centers, churches and wherever. Sounds right to me, NOT!
