Hey Judge, what does REGISTERING to vote do then? What an idiot. Another example of an out of control judge imposing their emotional whimsy on the law.
Judge Melvin Westmoreland is running for re-election and is unopposed.

What an absolute moronic finding! So photo ID is unconstitutional? What about Drivers Licenses? What about Passports? What about workplace ID badges? The purpose of all of these photo IDs is to identify the person holding the photo ID. It seems rather stupid beyond incredible that such a finding would be put forth by someone with a brain that works. These people are corrupt and/or they have a mental disorder! We are dealing with very sick people here!
I wonder what kind of ID is required to get a fishing/hunting license in GA? Do you have to jump through more hoops to get a fishing/hunting license than you do to vote?
Then filling out registration forms and sitting through a waiting period "unduly burdens" my Constitutional right to bear arms, right Judge?
Ping.

As a prosecutor, I have spent my legal career fighting to keep the streets of Gwinnett County safe. With each new case, the consistent challenge is to temper the zealous pursuit of justice with an appropriate measure of mercy, for "there but for the grace of God go I. . . .

Told you guys yesterday...The fix is in...The Ga Voter ID law will never take effect. The Lib courts will strike it down. A shameful society we have become...
there's only 2 weeks before the primary - but that's not such a big deal (I don't think). I can only imagine that his activist ruling will be reversed somehow before November......But what do I know. I am from Missouri
You'd think in the time it took to file a lawsuit, these two sweet little old ladies could have gotten a ride to the DMV.
They can easiily obtain a photo a ID to vote.
