Republicans take actions only when no problem exists.

Beebe vetoed the bill Monday, saying it amounts to "an expensive solution in search of a problem" and would unnecessarily infringe on voters' rights. Critics say in-person voter fraud is extremely rare and that voter ID laws, which Republicans have pushed for in many states, are really meant to disenfranchise groups that tend to favor Democrats.

King dismissed Beebe's concerns after Wednesday's vote.

"It's unfortunate that his attitude is just a continuation of the attitude by Democrats in Arkansas that voter fraud isn't happening and they won't do anything about it," King, R-Green Forest, told reporters.

I wonder what other things that aren't happening that we need urgent action to fix? Isn't this the 2016 Republican platform ? Things that aren't happening that Democrats refuse to do anything about; Social security going bankrupt, going Greece, coming for your guns, voter fraud, special gay only rights, running out of money to tax,Sharia law, universal currency, oppression of religion...

Just imagine a world in which Republican legislatures worked to fix things that are happening by doing something about them.
