Georgia discovered it had to go to court to obtain approval of a law that ensures only citizens are registered to vote. The Justice Department was objecting to the law.

Holder is running a criminal enterprize when his Justice Dept is against a law that ensures only citizens are registered to vote, of course when sunlight was about to expose them they quickly capitulated.

The next time I have to show picture i.d. to cash a check, be admitted to the hospital or see the doctor or any one of the things that requires me to show my i.d. I will claim racism.
How does anyone get by without having a picture i.d. anyway?

To me the shameful thing is that special scrutiny is still applied to southern states in their voting procedures, districting, etc.

I moved to Georgia after having been raised in Wisconsin, living there for nearly 4 decades. Millions of people in Georgia today were born in other parts of the country or perhaps have moved there from other countries and become naturalized citizens. Why should they be subject to specialized scrutiny 50-60 years after serious institutional discrimination last existed in southern states?

Seriously, if there ever was an equal protection claim sitting right there in the strike zone, waiting to be hit out of the park, it would seem to me to be a claim by a resident of one of the subject states challenging the special scrutiny applied to their states in 2011.
