1. Yep, well...no surprises at the motive

[tins0404]

2. Right, it's all to prevent almost-zero "voter fraud"

[louis-t]

3. The ultimate wet dream for repukes.

No one but card-carrying, teabagging, butt-kissing, Beck and Limbaugh listeners should be allowed to vote. They'll tell them they passed the 'intelligence test'.

[RKP5637]

4. Cheat to win, cheat, cheat, cheat, the republican motto. n/t

[northoftheborder]

5. All of these efforts to tamp down voting is a national conspiracy against the United States.

[DemocraticPilgrim]

6. How about starting a drivers license fund, that could solve it and help striggling students.

7. i have an idea....

lets pass a bill that prevents the elderly from voting, they're too out of date in the current age anyway they'll just vote on what they've experienced...harhar!

Peter Wallsten reports in the Washington Post today on the latest wave of Republican efforts to pass state laws requiring picture IDs for voters. "Backers of the voting measures," says Wallsten, "say they would bring fairness and restore confidence in a voting system vulnerable to fraud."

Well, yes, that is what they say. They're lying, but that's what they say. The real reason that Republicans are so gung ho on these measures, even though there's no measurable voting-booth fraud anywhere in the United States, is because certain demographic groups are less likely to have picture IDs than others:

An analysis by the North Carolina State Board of Elections showed that any new law requiring a state-issued ID could be problematic for large numbers of voters, particularly African Americans, whose turnout in 2008 helped Obama win the state.
