You're damn straight he is, as he well should be.

On Presidents' Day at the National Constitution Center, Gov. Rendell announced his veto of a bill that would have required all voters to show identification when they go to the polls.
Rendell said that the bill, which passed the legislature last week on largely parti-line votes, would have the effect of disenfranchising those without easy access to identification, including nursing-home residents, displaced families, the very poor and those without a driver's license.
In addition, he said that the identification requirement, which now applies only to people voting at a polling place for the first time, would slow the voting process on election days, likely causing some would-be voters who are pressed for time to leave without casting ballots.
The governor said the bill also might be unconstitutional.
Eileen Melvin, who chairs the state Republican Party, called the bill "incredibly responsible," citing other provisions that would enhance access to voting for the disabled and for military personnel serving overseas. As for the identification requirement, she noted that people now need to show identification to write a check, board an airplane, even to walk into an office building.
An override of the veto is highly unlikely, given the relatively narrow margins by which the bill passed the state House and Senate and the solid Democratic opposition to the bill.
""those without a driver's license"
CODE for "illegal aliens voting for Democrats"
This is likely also code for:
-being paid in cash and paying no income tax or social sec.
-probably using hospital emergency rooms as their primary health provider and not paying for that care.
You're damn straight he is, as he well should be.

You are exactly right.
we need a map which shows states which require voters to show ID and states which allow no ID voting.
I am willing to bet the states which have the greatest amount of vote fraud have no ID requirement.
Keep in mind everyone, ID requirements also have a provisional ballot clause which allows someone who "lost their id" to vote pending their claim to vote being confirmed.
also most states provide for a no cost ID.
This is vote fraud protection pure and simple.
No kidding! The Democrats vote entire nursing homes, personal care homes, etc. for themselves. When you retire to one of these places in PA, you suddenly change from a lifelong Republican to voting a straight Democrat ticket, but that's probably because you've been influenced by all the other "enlightened" patients around you. LOL
This is because of the "dead and felon" vote, they can't get voter cards now can they.....
I hope whoever runs against this a$$ gets elected...
Why is something so obvious allowed to continue moving? It's sad we joke about it.
IMHO, every eligible living voter ought to have a VID (voter ID number) and the numbers ought to be verified at the voting booth. Period, end of subject...
No surprise there
Otherwise they can't get away with their voter fraud ..
he's got an election coming up ya know
The Democrats are just getting geared up for the '06 election. Allegheny County has passed on all that federal money to buy new voting machines because they just weren't certain if any of those new fangled things could be trusted to deliver the Democrat vote in the necessary numbers that the antique machines they mastered 50+ yrs. ago have been doing for all this time. Better to use those dependable old one armed machines with the Republican levers missing. You never know what weird ideas those black "Stillers" fans in inner city Pittsburgh might get when they see who is running.
Leave it to republicans to try to pass this with a rat governor. Why couldn't they do this in 2002 when there was a pub governor?
Since we've never been able to get the RINO Republicans who run the party in this state interested in doing anything about the obvious cheating that goes on by the Democrats, we might as well laugh and make jokes instead of crying because I can't see it changing.
Because the Republican party in PA is run by the "ghost of Bob Michel." (Remember him? That nice friendly smiling get-along to go-along Republican that ran the perpetual minority, the Republicans, in the House of Representatives prior to '94.) Tom Ridge was no more interested in allowing conservatives to run the party or to challenge Democrat voter fraud than Rendell is. In PA Republicrats run things.
Certainly true in Washington State. Our election for Governor last time was virtually a seminar on how to steal an election by various and creative methods of voter fraud.
One neat trick....make the provisional ballots, those used by voters that are not on the rolls of the precinct they are voting at, the same color and shape as the regular ballots so you can "mistakenly" run through the counting machines prior to having their validity established.
ping
It's how *dead people* and *non-residents* get to vote for the lib-dems.
Rendell's toast in the next election, IMO. I'll be working for Swann here in York-Lancaster Counties.
That's how dems get elected.

2006 Democrat Contract With Al Qaeda
I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today on my way to an afternoon meeting and he kept going on and on about the ‘Terrorist Bill of Rights’, which I thought was exactly what the Democrats seem to represent these days.
So, in a blatant rip-off of Rush’s excellent analogy, and another rip-off from the 1994 Congressional Republican Contract With America, I decided to save the liberal Democrats some time and create for them ‘The 2006 Congressional Democrat Contract With Al Qaeda to provide the same clarity of purpose and promise the Republicans provided America back in 1994.
This 2006 Congressional Democrat Contract With Al Qaeda lays out what the Democrat Party promises to do if they are given majorities in Congress this fall:
As Democrat Members of the House of Representatives, and as citizens seeking to join that body, we propose not just to change current policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.
That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print. We call this our Contract With Al Qaeda”
This year’s election offers the chance, after 4 years of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the Nation’s policies towards Al Qaeda. That historic change would be the end of government that is too focused in Iraq, too intrusive, and too obsessed with possible terrorist attacks. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the privacy of all peoples, including members of Al Qaeda here in the US.
On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Democrat majority will immediately pass the following major legislation, aimed at restoring the pre 9-11 mirage of security and world harmony and ending this Administration’s policies for National Security:
FIRST, we will finally kill the Patriot Act so that no member of Al Qaeda will fear using our libraries to access international websites, access their email, or do basic research on major US installations and population centers. We will guarantee full privacy due anyone who makes it to our shores without question. In addition, we will roll back all provisions that put terrorism on an equal footing with Drug Traffickers and Organized Crime, which we understand greatly insults members of Al Qaeda who consider themselves above drug lords.
SECOND, We will enact legislation to release all Al Qaeda members now held in custody in the GITMO Gulag, while providing legal counsel to all who have been unfairly detained during this unfortunate international misunderstanding between Al Qaeda and America. We will ensure all detainees have options for bail and parole so they can continue with their life’s efforts while the legal issues surrounding their detention are worked out. Every ex-detainee will be provided the services of an ACLU lawyer.
THIRD, we will pass legislation ensuring that all Al Qaeda members will be free from government monitoring of their phone calls and emails with comrades back home monitored without probable cause. Probable cause will not include the normal desire to call home to friends and family. We see this act as protecting US citizens and Al Qaeda alike from warrantless surveillance.
FOURTH, as part of our revamping of immigration laws, we will ensure Al Qaeda members are treated the same as any other illegal immigrant now in America. We will provide you amnesty, a driver’s license, health care and education support once you are able to sneak past our borders.
FIFTH, as with warrantless electronic surveillance and in anticipation of pending civil lawsuits, we plan to pass legislation that bans warrantless searches of person and luggage at airports and other major transportation centers. It makes no sense to allow random searches of travelers if we are going to end targeted surveillance of communications. And we find both actions to be religious profiling and against the common sense norms of all liberal Americans.
SIXTH, Also, in line with the unfair targeting of Al Qaeda communications and persons travelling, we plan to submit legislation ending the practice of no-fly lists. This practice is biased towards people with common names and has limited the rights to travel of nuns and babies in the past.
SEVENTH, in an effort to demonstrate our sincere apologies for the actions of President Bush towards Al Qaeda, we plan to return the State of Iraq to the despot dictator of Al Qaeda’s choice by calling for the immediate withdrawal of our military forces to the safety of European soil. We encourage Al Qaeda to do what they please with the Iraqi people.
EIGHTH, we will submit and pass legislation that will mandate any questioning by US agents of Al Qaeda members to (a) be done in the presence of an ACLU lawyer, (b) never last more than 30 minutes, (c) be done indoors, in climate controlled conditions, (d) include an offering of proper food and beverage and (e) require every question to use the word ‘please’.
NINE, we promise to immediately begin impeachment of Al Qaeda’s most dangerous enemy, the Imperial President W Bush, and we will promise to not stop our efforts until we have removed this thorn in Al Qaeda’s side - even if we have to make up scandals to get it done.
We the undersigned candidates of the Democrat National Party do swear that if elected, and given control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we will enact the above Contract With Al Qaeda.
