If the Prez tried issuing an E.O. which sought to overturn a state law that had not been deemed unconstitutional, the political blowback would be enormous.

Uh... state voter I.D. laws?

OK, the DOJ did block a new voter ID law in South Carolina. That must have been a direct order from Obama.

Other than that, the only voter ID opponents with teeth are liberal Federal judges. Now THEY have veto power over the will of the voters & throw sand in the gears of any state level effort to eliminate corruption in the voting process.

Blocking the S.C. voter ID law (by what mechanism I don’t know) was politically easy since South Carolina is perceived as insufferably racist and needs an occasional smackdown. They started the Civil War, didn’t they?
