WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights. The decision validates Republican-inspired voter ID laws.

The court vote 6-3 to uphold Indiana's strict photo ID requirement. Democrats and civil rights groups say the law would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots.

It negates the lefts contention that the poor and minorities are too stupid to know how to obtain an ID. This could be the end of the Democrats best strategy”Vote early and vote often”

Now is the time to put this ruling into effect in every single state—Republicans of all stripes, from conservatives to RINOs can certainly agree on that.

Stick it to ‘em, folks: the SCOTUS has given us the green light to REQUIRE IDENTIFICATION for voters.

Nice job, SCOTUS.

I was just talking to my mother who is working on our primary election at the county building when I saw this headline. She is working in “the dungeon” of the building matching all the registered voters and weeding out the dead and moved people off of the rolls.

She announced it right then to all the election workers and I heard all the cheers in the background, this is VERY good news for Indiana and the rest of the nation!!

Illegal voters, the majority here in L.A., won’t let it happen.

YES!!!!

Say what you want about Bush, but he has appointed 2 very good justices to the bench. I realize the vote was 6-3, but Roberts and Alito have been on the correct side most of the time...

Oh, it’s so expository that the left are the ones that are fighting to make sure we can’t verify that a voter is a valid voter...

obviously, they benefit from NOT identifying the voter.

And why is this? duh.

Mississippi dropped this as a dead issue this year. What will this mean to that?

Great news. This requirement should be replicated in every state.

I had to show photo ID to participate in the DEMOCRAT caucus (operation chaos) here in Texas. I protested but was told that if I didn't show ID I would have to leave.

You are absolutely correct!. Can you imagine the justices that Gore or Kerry would have appointed? That's why I'm keeping my 'broken-glass Republican' status and will hold my nose and vote for McCain in November. If we can get two more justices appointed, we just might be able to turn this country back from the liberal edge.
