So, signature comparison by a polling place board worker is all you need? Works here in Hudson County. :)

Ridiculous. I’m going to have to get a star on my driver’s license to board a domestic flights in the next year or so. But I can vote in PA with no ID. Where is the handle? We need to flush America and let the bowl refill with fresh water.

Pennsylvania’s voter ID law, among the nation’s most stringent,

Why, do they stare at your Driver's License extra long?

What garbage. The Supreme Court has already ruled it’s not an undue burden. This douche-bag judge has his 15 minutes of fame and then the USSC will squash him like the bug he is.

Then why is is OK to require a photo ID to purchase liquor, weapons, get on an airline, etc?

This is just pure bull Obamastuff.

And it will not stop until we tell the judges to shove it up their Obamaholes.

And back it up with force.

I don’t know why republicans don’t just staff poll workers with instruction to opine that the signatures of democrat voters don’t match and you need to see identification (do maybe one of every three voters where the poll worker doesn’t recognize the voter).

Misheard on the news on the way into work -- thought the judge had affirmed Voter ID. Insanity NOT to.

More lefty logic:

was an unreasonable burden on voters.

Based on WHAT? The legislature decides voting laws, not the judiciary, unless there is an explicit violation of the PA constitution, such as excluding women or dwarfs.

Why? Don’t you have to get a picture id for your Driver’s License?

They should also have to show up in person and present ID to register in my opinion.

I have an idea. Maybe it would work, maybe not.

At each polling place, if a person does not have or want to show a picture ID, have a camera ready to take that person’s photograph, just like the driver’s license people do.

Once the picture is taken, have software that scans faces, like Google, and have a computer do a search for matches. It could be linked to mugshots in all states and territories to see if that person is a felon. It can also check to see if the person has a valid driver’s license in any state, just like the police do. It can also scan passport and ICE photos of legal aliens. This should not place a ‘burden’ on the voter. If they refuse, they don’t vote..............

I’m not familiar with the law that the judge struck down, but did activist PA lawmakers possibly write the law using language that they knew would provoke any judge to strike it down? Or did the judge strike down the law because the judge is possibly an activist? Or did the judge justifiably strike down the law?

Next, note that the states have amended the Constitution to protect voting rights on the basis of race, sex, tax status and age as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments. In other words, there is no constitutonal right which protects voters from not having to show a valid photo ID before voting. So the states can make constitutional laws which require voters to present valid photo ID before being allowed to vote.

Again, I don’t know the basis on which the judge struck down this law. And it’s getting too close to November for such laws to be struck down.

Remember, if patriots can elect a 2/3 conservative majority to both Houses of Congress in November then Congress will have the constitutional authority to repeal Obamacare without Obama’s signature.

Why not take a picture of the voter after he votes and put that in the book along with his signature for future ID?

when are Americans going to put a stop to all this? If all of us who have a “soap box” went to DC to protest maybe we could get enough people to make an impression on voters.

also why don’t our GOP reps come up with something catchy, dramatic, important, etc - ex. Contract with America. People loved that. why don’t conservatives come up with something. I’ve been thinking but nothing comes to mind.

Judge Bernard McGinley should explain what he means by it being an unreasonable burden. Is it an unreasonable burden to go to get a photo for a driver’s license or a license to carry? How about a passport photo? How about all other forms of ID?

This judge is another addle-minded liberal who wants the one side to be able to continue to cheat at the polls.

Also, it’s an “unreasonable burden” for voters to vote knowing that a DemonRAT voter has nullified their vote by voting multiple times.

So the judiciary has decreed, so let it be done!

Why do we give these political hacks any more credence than the hacks in the executive and legislature? Because they wear black muumuus?
