White House wants to manipulate the vote

@ThePainefulTruth Said

Attn'y Gen, Eric Holder, fresh from his successful marginalization of His own Fast and Furious guns for murder program , is renewing Obama's attack on the states for requiring photo ID to vote on the grounds of "discrimination". News flash, it does discriminate.....against non-citizens or those who lie about their residence.

He knows he won't be able to overturn these laws. So, you axe, why do this? Put on your strongest cynicism enhancing glasses and take another look. See there. All he wants to do is obstruct these laws by tying them up in the courts until after the election.

Besides the Democrat operatives here on TFS (who'd argue against their mother's right to live if that was a talking point), who here on TFS objects to these state laws, keeping in mind that anyone, who is a citizen, can get an ID--as most of us obviously have done given the need for them in so many other aspects of our lives, like applying for welfare and cashing government checks.

The Amish are not allowed to pose for any photo.So now you want to violate one of the most conservative groups out there? Yes they can vote on some issues not all but some.

@ThePainefulTruth Said

Too bad. Some Muslim women won't be photographed, ditto. And it isn't a violation, they can decline to vote if they wish. Next someone will come up with some crackpot religious belief which doesn't allow them to reveal any personal information; or another whose God told them to be fruitful and multiply their vote by voting continuously as long as the polls are open, and to demand 10,000 absentee ballots.....each.

We've gone 230+ years without requiring photo IDs to vote and the world hasn't ended.

In fact, nobody's even been arrested for voting under someone else's name.

@Willi Said

those who need fake id, get fake id.
why not phase in a plan to have an id needed to vote?

@El_Tino Said

Why spend time and money on all this bureaucracy when the existence of people voting using someone else's name is slim to none? That's not an efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

I wonder what kind of photo ID Abraham Lincoln used to be able to vote.
