Some Edits. Oh how quickly Liberals lose faith in Supreme Court! Amazing!

[Sig Sauer P220]

No problem. The Demwits will just vote absentee ballot.

[Spktyr]

Absentee ballots are far, far, far easier to correlate via computer - which is why the Dems are worried.

[FormerACLUmember]

The democrats are such obvious, lying, manipulatve crooks that it makes me hurl.

[muawiyah]

Chuckey Schumer most now be into the final stage of the DTs if he sees any limitation of voting rights in this particular law.

Fact is the Democrats were given two years to come up with a single individual adversely affected by the law and could not find one.

Fur Sur, ol' Chuckey there wouldn't be a US Senator today if New York guaranteed the rights of lawful voters to have their votes count.

Actually, if half the laws on the books up there were enforced, Chuckey would probably be on death row in Terre Haute Indiana at a federal facility waiting on his gurney ride.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Voting Rights? What the hell are these idiots talking about?

No one is saying that people can't vote. Only that poll workers are legally able to ask for a driver's license to verify a person's address.

Only those who are lying or cannot obtain a driver's license legally have anything to worry about.

[KarlInOhio]

The only elderly who will have serious trouble are the ones trying to vote in Florida with their New York licenses.

The dead, on the other hand, will have a much more difficult time voting now.

[MtnClimber]

They also need to time stamp the votes to prevent leftist poll workers from voting for voters that did not show up after polls close.

[meyer]

It rather scares the democRATS when the number of times an individual can vote is limited to a number close to 1.

[Puppage]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the ruling “disappointing,” saying the decision “places obstacles to the fundamental rights of American citizens—especially the poor, the elderly,THE DEAD and individuals with disabilities

Wadda gal!

[Puppage]

especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities

What......these groups of people don't have IDs? Wow.....who knew?

[reformedliberal]

Plus, they really are scrutinized. In the last general election, a poll worker stated that the absentee ballot from a
local donk official was found to have been witnessed by a relative, which is illegal. The ballot was invalid. The poll workers spend a lot of time checking the absentees.

[Flycatcher]

This is why the presidency is so important: He/she/it nominates the next Supreme Court justices.

I just wish I could trust McCain...

[LiteKeeper]

Are any of them now questioning Roe v Wade?

[The_Republican]

You have to make that leap of faith.....because you KNOW you can trust Hillary - more Souters, more Ginsburgs, and more Stephens.

[AuntB]

“especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities”

It’s absurd, isn’t it? These are the people getting SS and other handouts, they ALL have ID.

[MrB]

Pretty easy to see that they are seeing the only means by which they win elections - voter fraud - is going to go bye-bye.

By the way, “FormerACLUmember”, have you joined the ACLJ?

[ladyjane]

Hard to believe that someone with a disability doesn’t have an ID. Imagine trying to get the social security office to process a disability claim without providing identification. Doesn’t happen.

[umgud]

Only three states — Indiana, Florida and Georgia — currently require voters to show government-issued photo IDs before stepping into the voting booth.

I thought Arizona had an ID law too.

[Spktyr]

Yup, and because the “absentee ballot” is really an “early ballot”, they often have plenty of time to examine the ballots - sometimes months.
