only a lying, cheating democrat would fear proper ID to vote.....because they can’t win a fair election.......the beast went to NY where her party could make sure she won.....

[MEGoody]

Sorry, editor, I think this is a great ruling.

[The Wizard]

who can’t get a picture ID.....dead people

The record contains no evidence of any such fraud actually occurring in Indiana at any time in its history.

Complete claptrap! In order for the record to show fraud the people involved would have to be making an effort to expose the fraud, which they have not been doing because they want these people to vote because they are voting for them. Does anyone on this forum or anywhere else seriously believe illegals are not voting in elections now?

Yep, requiring potential voters to show the ID that they must legally already have, is just as bad as murdering babies. Yepper.

[jmaroneps37]

Yes, of course asking people to prove who they are to write a check for ten bucks is perfectly acceptable, but asking the same guy to show a picture ID is a crime against humanity. Actually it is a crime against the rat’s voter fraud schemes.

[rednesss]

Nah Illegals will still be able to vote, especially in Oregon, they hand out Driver Licenses to illegals every day, and because of the Motor Voter Laws they get signed up to vote at the same time. Plus Oregon went to mail in ballots so once you’re on the roles, you get sent a ballot. No one checks your ID.

[The Great RJ]

Even this photo ID requirement still allows illegals and others to vote as photo IDs are far too easy to get. It just makes it harder to have the voters resurrected from cemeteries vote.

I noticed that they were whining that out of state students who are usually not legal residents of the state they attend school couldn't vote in an election where the laws affect them, by that line of reasoning if I live in Ohio but across the border in Indiana then I should be able to vote in those elections.In wanting students,the homeless and those who hang out at the food bank signed up it provides a guaranteed voting block to keep the socialists in power.
I would like to see voting restricted to age 21,property owner, or taxpayer (not refund filer) or military service.I think people who finance or protect America will have less tolerance for redistribution schemes then the parasite class.

[mbynack]

Ten out of Seven voters in Chicago think that Voter ID is a bad policy.

[jincarolina]

Going through daily life doesn’t everyone need to have a photo ID?

[knuthom]

The example is of a woman who had to make four trips to get an ID because she did not have the correct documents. That is not unusual for someone getting a new car or driver's license. These things are a hassle for everyone.

When I moved to Missouri, I had to make several trips to get my car licensed and my driver's license. They would tell me I need a paper and I would go find it. Then they would tell me I needed another document and I would go get that. Now that I know what is required, I do it all in one trip.

I thought the requirements were pretty "onerous" at the time. Especially having to go to the courthouse and get proof that I did not owe personal property taxes to the state I had moved into. I thought my out-of-state license and registration should have been sufficient to show that I just moved from another state.

[Darren McCarty]

I’m not even going to click on that link. Anyone who equates ID to vote with an abomination like Plessy v Ferguson is one stupid son of a bitch.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Supreme Court was simply upholding the Constitution.

Article I Section 4 Clause 1

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Article II Section 1 Clause 2

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors...

It's clear that the Constitution gave the States the power to choose how to run their elections, and if the States want Voter ID's, that's their Constitutional right to require it.

Ignorant morons.

It figures that liberals would take the position opposing protecting my vote and side with the idea that presenting identification is the same as racism/sexism/bigotry. Hogwash! They have everything backward. If they want to protect the right to vote - then protect the vote itself! Citizens of the United States are entitled to have their single vote heard, and non-citizens have no right to cast an illegal ballot.

This author states that there are no cases of in-person voter fraud. Ironically, this is the whole point! There is no way to tell if people showing up are voting legally or illegally, since they are not required to show ID!

It's funny (in a sad, society-is-deteriorating sort of way) -- liberals love the Supreme Court when it "finds" rights not granted in the Constitution, but has no problem discounting the decisions of the court when it upholds rights that are enumerated in the Constitution, such as the right to vote.

Baltimore Sun - your editorial staff sucks rotten eggs, and I spit in your ideological face!

[Tzimisce]

It’s all racist, sexist, homophobia!

(/sarcasm)

Well libs are admitting who their base is: illegals.

[pyrless]

It’s all about defining the issue. We’re talking about photo ID’s, while the liberals want it to be about Driver’s licenses. The old lady is all about having DMV problems (surprise, surprise). Getting State issued ID is an entirely different matter.

[Alouette]

Indiana requires voters to show a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) with a current address. This may not sound onerous, but it can be to large groups of people.

Especially non-citizens and dead people.

[Sender]

God forbid that a US citizen should have to show any sort of ID to vote in critical elections. We should assume that everyone is honest, and provide them with Spanish ballots on request. This is clearly an unconstitutional tax on the undocumented! What have we become, a fascist state? How will millions of dead or fictitious shill voters now be able to exercise their rights as Democrats? This is an outrage and cannot stand! /crap
