You need photo ID to buy cold medicine. Why not to vote?
So can I infer that the Arkansas Supreme court populated with leftists?
Funny how this all comes up right at election time.
Next time you talk to a liberal about Voter ID laws ask them how they would like THEIR VOTE nullfied by a Conservative Voter who has voted multiple times AGAINST THEM?
Nothing like springing this less than three weeks before the election.
This is a mind numbingly stupid opinion. Such circular reasoning: they can’t pass such a law because such a law would be passed.
But at least it was made at the state level, where it belongs.
We need to have signs and hang out by Liberal Rallies:
Hold a sign saying this: “Prevent this tea bagger from voting more than once, support Voter ID Laws.”
I would like to see the libs short circuit over this...
“Arkansas’ highest court on Wednesday struck down a state law that requires voters to show photo identification before casting a ballot...”
Impeach and remove the black-robed fascists. I don’t understand why legislatures are afraid to remove judges who are abusing the system. It’s not like judges have a constituency ready to march on the streets and riot.
Impeach, imprison or immolate.
“The high court noted that the Arkansas Constitution lists specific requirements to vote: that a person be a citizen of both the U.S. and Arkansas, be at least 18 years old, and be lawfully registered.”
And how does anyone know those requirements have been fulfilled withoug ID?
If the requirement is to be a citizen how are they to prove it? Pretty simple to me.
This is going the way of the Texas case in the 5th Circuit. The 8th Circuit is going to rule in favor of the Supreme Courts deference to last minute changes of rule before an election. It’s not nice to change the rules just before and election. But, of course, the scum Democrats try to do it every time.
Okay going by the logic of not having ID for voting. Then of course we should not need ID for anything else, opening a bank account, cashing checks, etc., etc.. It is against Federal Law that Social Security Numbers be used for any kind of ID yet it goes on daily.
So we should not have to produce ID for anything since if voting is deemed no ID be produced then why anything else??
The high court noted that the Arkansas Constitution lists specific requirements to vote:
that a person be a citizen of both the U.S. and Arkansas, be at least 18 years old,
and be lawfully registered.

Looks like Arkansas is in need of a State Constituional Amendment.
With all due respect to the judges, this is twisted (deliberately?) logic. Noting that the four voting protections amendments, 15, 19, 24, 26, are expressed as prohibitions on state powers, the bottom line is that the states have never amended the Constitution to prohibit themselves from requiring candidate voters to show a valid ID before being allowed to vote.
“that a person be a citizen of both the U.S. and Arkansas”
And without Id how can that be proved? There is nothing constitutional about proving what the law states. Only Leftists could view this any other way.
In fact if we go by this logic then a 10 year old can register and vote and registration form can not ask for any verification of facts- Nor can what ever anyone writes on a registration form even be challenged. Do so would be UN-constitutional.
So according to the court even a child can vote. You are not allowed to prove they are 18 or above. You are not allowed to prove they are US citizen or member of the state.
Insanity is the only rule of law anymore.
Sign the voting book? That sounds like an additional requirement.
Timing is everything. The opposition always pulls a sympathetic judge to make a ruling weeks before an election, It sure happened in Pa. (back in 2012) and 2 or 3 states this year...
