...look into whether voting rights are being jeopardized...
Wish they would've been this concerned while shoving Commiecare down everyone's throat.
...the department is monitoring, as it routinely does, this type of legislative activity...
Can Holder declare anything unconstitutional? News to me.

They are liars. They want to make sure the illegal voters can cote which they can’t.

The lawmakers wrote Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday to express concern that millions of voters do not have a government-issued ID - particularly older people, racial minorities, low-income voters and students. I call BS.

"Many of these laws effectively disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters," How? Give me examples.
To: Libloather
The power grab by this administration absolutely leaves me breathless. They don’t even try to hide it.
Of COURSE the demonRAts are “concerned” about legitimate ways to make sure voting is fair and legal. Without voter fraud, no leftie might ever be elected again- ‘cept, of course, in SanFransissy and the New York sewer.

So logically this would mean that important government services to aid the poor etc. are being given to people the government can not identify or at least not be able to issue them an ID card. What a lousy way to run a government. These dems will not be happy until they can invent enough votes from a mythical demographic of people unable to get an ID to overturn any duly elected result that they don't like. It's well past time to hunt Democrats with dogs.

Democrats want illegal aliens to vote. They know full well that they are gonna get 95% of the illegal vote. That's why they are against photo ID. It's that simple.
I just got back from a Business trip. Let me tell you the places I have to show official photo ID.
1. To hold my mail at post office.
2. To pick up mail at post office when I returned.
3. To pick up Fed-EX packages at where I worked.
4. To get onto the Airplane, check baggage, check in, etc.
5. To rent car.
6. To check into Hotel.
Now I'm not complaining one bit about this. All of these are totally understandable reasons to show photo ID and I'd be disturbed if they didn't ask for ID in any of these cases. But to thing it violates someone's rights to show that they are who they say they are when they show up to vote is ludicrous. But then again we all know this.

The senators say the photo ID requirements have the potential to block millions of eligible people from exercising their right to vote Yet they have not produced a SINGLE individual that has shown that 1) they are a citizen with the right to vote and 2) are unable to obtain the required ID. It is all about potential harm not actual harm.
To: savedbygrace
I call BS too. Disenfranchising older voters, my foot! Im 86 and I still have a driver’s license.
To: Libloather
Eric Holder will likely recommend that “his people” have their votes multiplied by 10.

we all knew this was coming... watch for the feds to file suit against those states.
Obama needs the illegal vote, so he will double down on this, he has nothing to lose. The worst that will happen is he loses the election, and he WILL lose the election if he cannot count on the dead, multiple voting, and the illegals to carry him.
Watch for the dems to shop for a judge to put a stay on this a couple of weeks before the primary. Yes, the primary, because they will be using every dirty trick they can to vote in the R primaries to choose Romney as our candidate, since they don’t have to vote in the D primaries.
To: Libloather
“disenfranchise”???
The author of the Kansas voter ID law was on the radio yesterday. He pointed out how laughable it was that Holder did not think a blank panther standing outside a polling place with a night stick would disenfranchise anyone....but pulling your id out would.

simple; the non-registered voters who are bussed to the polling station by the rats disenfranchise thousands of legally registered voters like you and me...
>Sixteen Democratic senators want the Justice Department to look into whether voting rights are being jeopardized in states that require photo identification in order for people to vote. <
how about the voting rights of those legally registered voters that are being jeopardized by the states that don’t require voter ID’s??? oh, wait- most of them would never vote for obama so they don’t count...

The Kansas Sec of State on the radio yesterday. Our new law allows elderly people to use expired drivers licenses. It allows students to use a student ID.
He also pointed out that some of the sixteen senators who are involved come from states with the most known cases of voter fraud.
He also stated that Al Franken’s margin of victory was less than the known number of felons who voted in his election.
He also articulated VERY well the notion that the most common way to be disenfranchised is to have your vote CANCELLED out by an illegal vote....and if these 16 senators really cared about disenfranchisement, they would support voter id bills.
