If the data are correct, the ruling could actually help Hillary in the upcoming primary. Imagine. Bush's SCOTUS picks helping Hillary's prez bid.

[the invisib1e hand]

hmmm. photoshop probably never looked so good to them.

[stockstrader]

Yes, Dems are stunned,,,STUNNED I tell ya,,,,

that ID proof will be required to vote!!!! What a revolting development for democrats!!!

Why aren't Republicans upset about this???..lol

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“Bush’s SCOTUS picks helping Hillary’s prez bid.”

And I had such High Hopes. :(

Portrait of a dhimmicrat: ID needed for gun purchase, no ID for voting. Actually, I don’t mind an ID for gun purchase, but demand it for voting. Some of our unauthorized voting friends have much more capability for widespread damage than an unauthorized gun purchaser. Really.

[Steely Tom]

Why is it a setback for Obama?

“The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.”

TRANSLATION:

“20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old ARE FRAUDS.” (Dead, non-existant, here illegally, etc...)

[goldstategop]

I guess its just too hard to apply for the proper government issued photo ID. 99% of Indiana residents have one. I don't get why that upsets the Democrats so much after all their hollering about how the 2000 election was stolen.

Does ANYONE believe that young folks 18 - 34 don't have an ID? No ID means no cars, no clubs and no booze.

This "survey" is as bogus as they come.

[FormerACLUmember]

One big step against the usual democrat party massive voter fraud!

[T. P. Pole]

The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.

Note that they don't have a valid ID. In other words, they are out-of-state students who are trying to vote where they are going to school.

[FoxInSocks]

But a recent study conducted by the Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity and Race found that 18 percent of Indiana’s black registered voters do not have a valid photo ID card. The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.

Big deal. First of all, only about half of registered voters ever show up to vote anyway.

Secondly, these people only have to gather together a couple documents and spend some time at the DMV in order to get an ID.

[Steamburg]

Imagine, the majority opinion was written by Justice Stevens. Could it be that he wants to make a few rational decisions before he retires? The primary is one thing, the national election could have the lowest turn out in history. However, don’t expect legislation in the real blue states.

[mamelukesabre]

“...I filed a brief in the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of this law because I believe that it places an unfair burden on Indiana residents who are poor, elderly, disabled, or members of minority groups.”

How the heck are ID cards prejudiced against minorities??

[2ndDivisionVet]

Now to get that law passed in the other states that don’t have it yet.

[TaMoDee]

I can hear the shovels in the graveyards all the way to here!

[Navy Patriot]

ID ruling stuns Dems

Well of course, they thought the fix was in.

That and Rats live in Bizzaro world.

Rev Wright is helping Hillary in IN

[Man50D]

It appears as though he’ll have to recruit more voters from outside the country.

[Wacka]

How are all the illegal aliens supposed to vote then?

[TheZMan]

Now if they’ll simply integrate the Real ID (tm) IDs into a national database that is referenced at the voting booths we can all but kill off voter fraud.

1. Require presentation of your Real ID at the poll.
2. Require visual match between Real ID database picture and the person wishing to vote.
3. Store where and when this person voted and do not allow the Real ID to enter another voting booth.

[Sun]

Looks like the deads and illegals won’t be able to vote.

[babble-on]

18 percent of Indiana’s black registered voters do not have a valid photo ID card

So get one! How hard is it to apply for a government ID card/driver's license?

[Ronin]

This law only makes basic common sense. If a person does not have a valid ID, he/she should not be voting — I don’t care if they are qualified in every other respect.

[Wade827]

Okay, so let's say I live in Indiana. I really want to vote in the upcoming presidential primary, but I don't happen to have an ID card, which the law requires me to have. So I have two choices...

1. Sit back, wait, and hope the Supreme Court strikes down the law, or

2. Go get a freakin' ID card sometime before election day.

Hmmm... decisions, decisions...

[shadowcat]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA

stick it to the dumbos

[doug from upland]

Behind the scenes, the RATS in Indiana will launch an effort to get IDs to RAT voters.

[rabidralph]

How do people buy alcohol and cigarettes without some form of ID, not to mention drive a vehicle? How do these people cash checks or get their welfare benefits without some form of ID? I hope every state passes a voter ID bill.

[Tallguy]

I guess this means that the Obama campaign will be scrapping plans to bus-in voters from Illinois.

[visualops]

You know after all the crap and wright and nobama and shrillery, today was a welcome happy day just knowing how the dems are all twisted up in knots over this. as hubby said when I asked him what the ruling was : “dead people can’t vote anymore” LOL!

[aruanan]

But a recent study conducted by the Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity and Race found that 18 percent of Indiana’s black registered voters do not have a valid photo ID card. The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.

I absolutely do not believe this. If they're working, they have some sort of valid photo ID. If they're not working and are on Social Security or some other form of public aid, they have some form of valid photo ID to cash their checks.

[Ronin]

This law only makes basic common sense. If a person does not have a valid ID, he/she should not be voting — I don’t care if they are qualified in every other respect.

[popdonnelly]

The Dems are stunned because they believe policy should be determined by political advantage and not common sence.

[longun45]

The democrats are so appalled because they cannot win an honest election. The democrat Ideas ( what few they actually have) are so repugnant and unsavory that a person would rather hug poison OAK for a week, or have a corncob for cleaning his rectum before the democrats get to it with their taxes.

[torchthemummy]

Obama criticized the court’s decision.

“I am disappointed by today’s Supreme Court decision upholding Indiana’s photo identification law — one of the most restrictive in the nation,” said Obama in a statement. “The right to vote is one of our most privileged rights and important responsibilities as Americans. I filed a brief in the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of this law because I believe that it places an unfair burden on Indiana residents who are poor, elderly, disabled, or members of minority groups.”

Voting IS a privileged right AND a responsibilty of Americans, Senator Obama. Therefore to exercise such a privilege and a responsibilty it is of the highest importance that EACH and EVERY vote is a valid one because every illegal voter dilutes every legal voter's right to free and fair elections.

As usual a liberal Democrat claims support for the mechanisms that ensure free and fair elections while pushing for judicial rulings/legislation that would undermine the validity of said free and fair elections. Hypocrite.

[expatpat]

The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.

That sounds like pure bull manure to me.

[no dems]

18 percent of Indiana’s black registered voters do not have a valid photo ID card. The group’s analysis also found that 20 percent of registered voters 18 to 34 years old do not have valid IDs.

WHY NOT? Low-life, irresponsible, welfare bums, crack heads and pot heads can't even get off their lazy a** before 5:00 p.m. every day and go get a Driver's License or State I.D. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE VOTING !!!

[ricks_place]

Some States need Voter Photo ID Law more than others...California, New Mexico, Missouri, Illinois, New York, Wisconsin. A National Voter Photo ID Law would be good rather than no need to speak English motor voter. The Mail In Ballot is abused and should only be available to the Military!

[My hearts in London - Everett]

If this whole issue isn’t the epitome of a no-brainer, I don’t know what is. :~/ (oh, wait, I forgot, dims don’t have the foggiest clue where theirs is...I could point them in the right direction, but I’m a lady!)

[montag813]

Doesn’t this also hurt Hillary, who has a huge illegal alien constituency?

[paudio]

If —God forbid— the country implements a version of universal health care, would they require a pic ID to get some care?

[SuziQ]

Why would asking voters to verify their identities be a setback, if honest voting is what candidates actually want? Hmmm?

I think I was asked for ID the first time I ever voted in my precinct, here, and I haven't been asked again in the 20 years we've lived here. Mainly because the same people have been at the check in table for all that time! LOL!

[Caipirabob]

ID ruling stuns Dems, Ind. setback for Obama...

Slide Indiana over to the Republican column. Forever...

[harpo11]

Bush's SCOTUS picks helping Hillary's prez bid.

The Supremes continue the unchecked reign of the Bush/Clinton Dynasty.

Although, the illegal alien vote might be stifled as well, and that is Hillary's base and I wonder how dead democrat voters are going to be able to show valid ID? Hmmm..
