lemme see... a lot of folk don't seem to have a photo id in order to vote, but if this is true,. then how do they cash checks? do banking? Perform any other financial non-cash transaction?
Thats the answer, the ILLEGALS can use their ID'S in the United States.
Somehow the dum-dum Mexicans can demand a voter ID and run a clean election while the smartguy Democrats in Georgia worry that their voter base is not intelligent enough to vote. Go figure.
Those in our society that don't even have a simple photo ID shouldn't even be qualified to vote.
Democrats know they cant legally win National Elections unless they steal them. Between stealing elections and Judicial Activism America must arise to the situation and if necessary take up arms. These idiots are out to destroy America and when we vote contrary to their wishes they have it overturned. Enough is Enough!
Don't have an ID to vote? But DID have valid identfication to REGISTER to vote? Book em Barney.
Didn't any of these legal brains a this hearing ask the 2 guys how they registered to vote? Surely they found out at that time if their ID was OK for voting. Something very stinky going on here. Did Barnes tell the hearing how the Voting Rights Act was necessary because the RATS dominated most Southern States when the rights violations occured, and DID NOT support the Act in congress?????!!!!
Wow, I didn't know we had photo-IDs back in 1806!
Maybe king Roy wants to come back and knows only voter fraud will get that done.
Roy Barnes: I know I got voted out, but I AM important. Really I am relevant, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

"Neither of these people lacks identification to vote under this new law," Lewis said. "You'd think at least one person from this list could be identified for this case."
OMG! Proof the Democrats, Barnes in this case, are complete and utter idiots.
Should read "Former Democrat Governor of Georgia Defends Vote Fraud."
A corrupt, Democrat ex-Governor supports the enabling of vote fraud- who'd a-thunk it?
Judge issues restraining order against Georgia voter identification law
ATLANTA, Jul. 7, 2006
With less than two weeks to go before the July 18 primary, a judge Friday issued a restraining order blocking Georgia's voter ID law, saying that requiring photos as proof of identity is an unconstitutional burden.
Superior Court Judge Melvin Westmoreland said in a sharply worded written ruling that the Legislature doesn't have the authority to enforce the law and an amendment to the state Constitution would be required instead.
The law, he said, "unduly burdens the fundamental right to vote rather than regulate it."
The law requires that every voter who casts a ballot in person provide a valid, government-issued photo ID. The state made such IDs available throughout the state, but former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, a Democrat, argued in court Thursday on behalf of two residents that the law would keep poor, elderly and minority voters from the polls.
Barnes said Friday he was pleased with the ruling.
"I think what we heard today loud and clear is don't allow the vagaries of political partisanship to change the basic fundamental rights of our people," he said. "All this law did was create a bureaucracy and a burden to vote."
The state plans to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
"Democracy only works because people have trust in the integrity of the ballot box," said Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue, who signed the voter ID measure into law earlier this year. "I respectfully disagree with Judge Westmoreland, and believe that Georgia's law is not only constitutional, but a common sense, prudent protection of the election process."
The 17 forms of identification -- some with photos and some without -- that had been allowed in previous elections can be used at the polls for the primary, Westmoreland ruled. Voters who lack one of those IDs can also continue to attest to their identity under oath, pending further court action.
Westmoreland referred the case back to the trial judge in a case Barnes filed on behalf of two people who he said lacked the photo ID needed to vote. No further hearings were immediately scheduled.
Georgia's Republican-led Legislature first adopted a voter ID law in 2005, but a federal judge blocked its enforcement, saying it amounted to an unconstitutional poll tax. Early this year, lawmakers amended the law to make the IDs free and to ensure they are available in each of the state's 159 counties.
A separate, federal challenge to the voter ID law is also pending. Arguments in that case were scheduled for Wednesday.
F you, Roy.
There was a reason we got rid of your butt.
