Oh great. Now all of the non-white minorities and old people will be barred from voting and Republicans will take over Pennyslvania and turn into a theocracy. All of these voter ID laws benefit Republicans. If you really think this is a good thing you need to get your head checked.
I think that I have come up with the perfect solution for those (liberals and lefties) that don't want to get or cannot afford an ID card.
How about we let you go down to the local precinct in your district and pick up a free copy of your rap sheet.
This will carry all pertinent information such as photo, proof of address and anything else that may or may not be required by your local election board.
It doesn't matter. The DOJ will bar it from going into effect until long after the election.
Republians and conservatives, riddle me this. Potential for fraud, as you are reasoning has existed for years (heck, decades). Why are you so concerned about this issue now as opposed to, say, when Bush was in office?
Oh...you're not keeping up with the "news". SCOTUS has RULED voter ID laws are constitutional. Obama's doj can try and stop it, but they will be rejected.
The constitutionality of Section 5 itself was not at issue in the case, but the opinion said its “intrusion on state sovereignty” raises “serious constitutional questions,” quoting in part from a 2009 decision.
In his concurrence, Justice Thomas went further, repeating his view that “Section 5 is unconstitutional.”
I'm thinking after 50+ years, that section of the VRA will be revisited..soon.
Yeah because standing up for everyone's right to vote is over the top now?
Anyone who wants an ID can get one. I don't see how anyone who could figure out how to vote couldn't figure out how to get an ID.

ID cards for non-drivers are usually available for free in the states with voter ID laws (this is required for them to be constitutional).

You are supporting a situation (not having voter ID laws) that makes it possible for people to vote multiple times or for people who are ineligible to vote to be able to.
The comparison to Jim Crow laws is absurd, laughable, and pathetic.
Most Americans don't think it's a hardship to ask voters to produce one. A Rasmussen poll in June indicated 75 percent of respondents support photo ID requirements. Huge majorities of Hispanics support voter ID laws, according to a Resurgent Republic poll in September.

Should we expect more from them? They are brazenly proliferating the non issue of voter fraud when it is actually election fraud that they themselves are gulity of. What slime, but people are hip to their tactics.

What district do you live in?
Maybe you can call ahead?
