I've always had to show ID to vote.

Republicans are progressives when it comes to voting, who knew.

Let's be clear here. The affirmation of the lower court ruling was only because the Supreme Court was deadlocked, 4-4. This question will be decided based on who wins the election. If Trump gets to nominate Scalia's replacement, then these laws will ultimately stand, as they should. If Hillary appoints a far left wing zealot to the Court, then they will be invalidated.

Are not the new voting laws requiring a more restricted number of acceptable IDs? You mentioned Canada required voter ID but I was just clarifying that it does not require government issue voter ID.


An interesting case of voter fraud did occur in Ontario in the 1800s where at one polling station the Liberal beat the Conservative (or the other way round) by a 11 to 10 count out of the 8 eligible voters. Back them beer was involved.

Meanwhile, all those people the Republicans tried so hard to disenfranchise are going to be out in force in November, letting the GOP know how they feel about that. I look forward to it.
Not so fast. Not every left-winger likes Hillary, and I would think that many North Carolinians would have some semblance of common sense when going to their precincts to vote.

Because they're scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel for votes these days.

Nice claim. NOW back it up.

Explain HOW Photo ID does what you claim.

And be specific.

No it won't be O. K. We will have another crooked election where people from Jersey illegally vote and blacks will brag they voted 6 times again.
