Our party actually has a spine on this issue and the laws have been getting passed. Hasn't stopped the lefty courts from blocking, delaying and overturning them though. Where we need to get a spine is on the courts, following something like the document on how to block the courts that Newt produced last year during the primary.

Hmmm.... why not burn the concept of “voter ID” into the states via state-level Constitutional amendments. Doing so will prevent state courts (even state supreme courts) from overturning such reforms.
Of course, these will not prevent challenges in the Federal courts. However, I believe all that will be needed to thwart such challenges will be a single U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming a particular state’s right to enact such an amendment.
We as conservatives must learn from the mistake of “The Defense of Marriage” law. If you want to truly prevent the court system from overturning the will of the legislature (and the people), it must be by the form of Constitutional amendments, at either the state or federal level...
