Note the completely unpartial original headline:

Judge refuses to halt Pennsylvania’s tough new GOP-backed voter identification law

No bias there!

[randita]

PA Ping!

If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!

Don’t forget “despite a torrent of criticism”....as though that’s a part of our legal system.

[Oberon]

...despite a torrent of criticism that it will suppress votes among President Barack Obama’s supporters...

Have you ever noticed, you have to have a photo ID have a job? If this law eliminates anyone from voting, it's a small subclass of folks who are unemployable.

Funny how that works.

[Shadow44]

I’m glad the law is upheld, but I wonder how effective it really will be in Philadelphia with the Dems political machine entrenched there.

You need a photo id to get into an Obama event, you need a photo id to attend the DNC convention, you need a photo id to tour the White House ... why do the DemocRATs deny these things to blacks and Hispanics?

For $13.50 you can get a Pennsylvania ID card which lasts 8 years if you don't have a driver's license. You need a birth certificate/passport and two items like utility bills or tax records that show your current address. $1.69 per year isn't exactly a heavy burden.

I read that totally biased article earlier. No mention that 74% support voter identification laws.

I guess SAT testing to get into college is racist and a Jim Crow rule?

[American in Israel]

Another state swings sharply Republican for some reason...

I find it curious that to get welfare and disability you have to show ID, but to vote, suddenly it is discriminatory because the welfare people or disabled may not have ID.

[1L]

I wish everyone would look this up for this state and start responding to these voter id objections as being stupid: YOU NEED AN ID TO REGISTER TO VOTE, at least, in Texas. Its IMPOSSIBLE for someone to not be able to show an ID to vote if they are registered, since they’ve ALREADY shown one to register.

This business of talking about where an ID is needed is all well and good, but the real response, as shown here, shows the absolute STUPIDITY of arguing this will suppress ANY voter turnout.

So, please, look up your state’s statute on voter registration requirements and post it here.

[NoGrayZone]

We all have to show identification for EVERYTHING. Why is voting exempt? (rhetorical)

[ScottinVA]

I'm surprised it wasn't worded to say, "Judge refuses to halt Pennsylvania’s tough new RACIST, GOP-backed voter identification law.

[Leep]

make it harder for the elderly, disabled, poor and young adults to vote.

---

Why because they have take,maybe, two hours to go to the DMV and get a Pa ID for $10?
Why don’t the Spendocrats waive the $10 fee.
Since, all these folks are so poor they can’t afford $10 in order to vote?

Otherwise, are the elderly,disabled, poor and young adults to stupid they can’t find two forms of ID and the location of the DMV?

[BillyBonebrake]

I watched a certain subset of humanity attempt to return a fishing rod to Dicks Sporting Goods yesterday without either the receipt or identification. I felt like asking the cashier if she thought it was some kind of dry run, but my 5 second delay kicked in.

[Monkey Face]

YES!

America is RISING!

[Cheerio]

YONE living in 2012 America wihout a picture ID is like the unibomber living in a remote cabin in the woods.

[QT3.14]

Of course the left has no problem with non-citizens voting which amounts to neutering the vote of a citizen.

[Lysandru]

Gee, what will be the impact on the “Deceased-American” vote?

[Eleutheria5]

The poor, the elderly, young adults, little puppy dogs, cute little kitty cats, spring robins, dead people by surrogates, fictitious people by surrogates, and people who have trouble reading butterfly ballots, will all be disenfranchised by this horrible, inhumane law./sarc

[Delhi Rebels]

It’ll be appealed and overturned. You watch.
