I believe if you don't have a picture ID or license, you can show proof with a utility bill or mortage statement, which still doesn't really prove you're a legal citizen, imo.

Great News!! Surprised me that they took such fast action. Now if we can just get Munsil to win over Napalitano.

Thanks for the ping.
I'm really surprised it was over-turned before the election. Now we only need to worry about the other methods of voter fraud the Demos typically use.
To: Babu
Federal courts still will have to resolve a lawsuit contending that the law will disenfranchise numerous voters, particularly the elderly and minorities. Notice that they didn't say "citizens". The "voters" that this will disenfranchise are: Juvenile-Americans, Housepet-Americans, Necro-Americans, Foreign-Americans, Imaginary-Americans, and maybe even some Multi-Americans. Adult American citizens, casting a single vote, will not be disenfranchised.

The excuse that it's too hard to get ID or carry it with you all the time is complete and utter BS.
You have to show proof of ID to get food stamps, or government assistance.
You have to show ID to get your pay check cashed or to open an account at a bank.
You have to show ID to get a job.
As someone else said, you have to show ID to take a test for a job.
The whole reason they are making a fuss over this issue, is simply because it allows illegals, felons and people who SHOULD NOT have the right to vote, to vote. And these people generally vote for Democrats. It's common sense, why do they fight so hard to knock down the voter ID rule? Because it will hurt their votes.
Democrats don't do anything unless they can gain something from it.

I'm actually surprised Terry Goddard pushed this through. He has acted like her pet poodle since he got into office. He had no choice, HG. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. It would have been political suicide had he not fought for this.
And it still makes him out to be a hypocritical damnocrat. How 'bout that!

I keep hearing how great she does in the polls, yet I know of maybe one person who actually likes her. My husband has said everyone complains about her that he talks to -- and he works in Tempe. Wow, that's great news! Especially in liberal Tempe!

Finally, a little common sense on the issue.
No more dead folks and parking lots voting!

Jan Brewer (Sec. State) requested Goddard to initiate this. Goddard DID NOT do this on his own!

Opponents of the law contend it discourages some people from voting, including the elderly, poor and disadvantaged who don't always carry IDs. Baloney. The elderly, poor, and disadvantaged sign up for all types of government programs to help them get through life financially. And in order to apply for those programs to begin with, one must have tons if ID.

This past May, in the Indiana primaries, the voters all had to show a photo ID.
Not one single voter complained.
Lots of voters had their ID's out before they even walked into the polling place.
I must say I was surprised that no one complained to me.
The only mad voters were the ones who declared themselves democrats and they got a ballot where in every single race only one democrat was running. So they showed up for nothing! LOL

But, at least one of the schools in Tempe can't spell. Of all things to misspell. Who is allowed to misspell Spelling bee? Sorry. It probably has nothing to do with this, but I had to bring it up.

OUTSTANDING!
I hope this is a sign of things to come, like to Tennessee....

The very people that tend to vote in much lower numbers anyway. Oh, it also affects those who vote more than once, using the names of the deceased. That's a lot of Democrats.

This will also give a boost to the voter ID law in Missouri That's not true. The Missouri supreme court's decision was based on Missouri constitutional law. Therefore, this SCOTUS decision will have no effect on the Missouri decision. Missouri will need to change either its constitution or its supreme court.
