This one wins an AssPress Bias Award.

"Who's going to show up and sign an affidavit saying 'I'm poor'?"

The same people who show up at the welfare office and say "Gimme money".

In Indiana, more than 20 percent of black voters do not have access to a valid photo ID, according to an October 2007 study by the University of Washington.

Complete B.S.

Advocates: Voter ID ruling may disenfranchise US voters

But, it will definitely stop real voter fraud. But, then, why try to do some real good when a possibility of harm, however, remote exists.

Shakespeare said it best: "First let's kill all the lawyers."

[OldMissileer]

6-3 is NOT “splintered.”

The Rats continued attempts to allow illegals and dead people to vote is what undermines our freedoms and liberty.

Its about time the SCOTUS put the hammer to this stuff.

[Luke21]

Indeed. Asspress propaganda alert.

[BerniesFriend]

Across the country, as many as 20 million people lack such identification, most of them minorities and the elderly who don't have drivers' licenses or passports and are unable to afford the cost of obtaining documentation to apply for such identification, advocacy groups say.

Then how on earth can they go down and vote in the first place???????????

[Phantom Lord]

I say TS to those who do not have, and don't want to put in a minimum effort to get an ID.

And since there is no constitutional right to vote, I saw screw em.

[Soliton]

Why don’t the dims just set up a program to get legal voters ID? They drive them to the polls, why not drive them to get ID?

The answer of course is that dead people won’t be able to vote and living democrats won’t be able to vote for someone else or twice.

[vincentfreeman]

"Advocacy groups, including the Brennan Center, say they know of no voter fraud case ever being prosecuted against someone who impersonated another voter at the polls."

Gosh, maybe because the Voter ID program is working the way its supposed to?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

6 to 3. That's 2 to 1. It's an overwhelming victory. Splintered? BS! Any President that won by that margin would be said to have an unprecedented mandate!

[tomkat]

Voter ID ruling may disenfranchise US voters the illegal and the dead.

[dubie]

yeah, “splintered”...

[yldstrk]

It’s about time ID was required to vote. Stop a lot of fraud.

[relictele]

The writing style is breathtaking, isn't it?

>The Supreme Court's refusal to strike down an Indiana law requiring government-issued photo identification at the ballot box could disenfranchise minority and elderly voters at next week's primary and prompt other states to pass similar laws, voting advocates said Monday.

So....these are the 'advocates' of all voters? Exactly who, in a democracy, DOESN'T advocate voting? A very conspicuous absence of needed adjectives here!

The court, in a splintered 6-3 ruling Monday, said Indiana's law, which took effect in 2006 and requires voters to present a state or federal photo ID card at the ballot box, does not violate the First or 14th amendments. The court said the law served as a justifiable protection to the electoral process.

6-3 is a pretty wide margin on this Court with its reliable voting blocs.

[Let's Roll]

Right, just the way it “disenfranchises” them when they want to cash a check or get a library card or ...

[Gritty]

In Indiana, more than 20 percent of black voters do not have access to a valid photo ID

Then how do they get their welfare checks cashed, apply for food stamps, or prove they're 21 to buy booze?

[ArmstedFragg]

Yeah, really. Some ‘splintered’ 6-3 ruling. Three of them said the Democrats were morons, the other three said they were fools, too.

It’s a solid ruling on a simple, straightforward basis.

"The Supreme Court's refusal to strike down an Indiana law requiring government-issued photo identification at the ballot box could disenfranchise.....elderly voters ...

They are so old that there are no photographs of them?
