The pols sell these restrictions to an uniformed public as minor, “common-sense” inconveniences that proud Americans should be happy to experience. After all, who would be discouraged from voting because a government-issued photo ID is mandatory?

The answer: millions of folks, who’ve done nothing to deserve disfranchisement but to be among the old, poor, minority, disabled or student pool of potential voters.

Indiana has led the way in the reform rush. Thanks to the majority in the General Assembly, which voted for our new photo ID law, Hoosiers stand alone this Election Day with the most cumbersome and prohibitive set of voting requirements in the nation.

Think the Indiana GOP was thinking ahead with all the House races they might lose here?

3. Well, it's pretty much a case of election fraud perpetrated in the name

of preventing voter fraud.

5. by the way

this is exactly the reason I go nuts when people call "election fraud", just 'voter fraud'.
THIS is what the GOP is focused on -- making the voters out to be the bad guys while ignoring the bigger threats.
:grr:
