In a bold move that emphasizes the desperation of the Obama administration, the Justice Dept. has blocked a Texas law requiring voters to show a photo ID to vote in the upcoming presidential elections. A Justice Department official said the law “disproportionately harms Hispanic residents” and prevents them from voting [for President Obama].
“Even using the data most favorable to the state, Hispanics disproportionately lack either a driver’s license or a personal identification card,” wrote Thomas Perez, head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, in a letter to the director of elections for the Texas Secretary of State.
In December, the Justice Department also struck down a similar South Carolina law requiring photo IDs at the polls.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the “unfair” laws discriminated against minorities and could hurt voter turnout among those who helped elect President Obama in 2008.
“The reality is that — in jurisdictions across the country — both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common and have not yet been relegated to the pages of history,” Holder said in one recent speech, according to the Washington Post.
This news comes amid shocking reports that 52% of Mississippi voters believe President Obama is Muslim.
I do not see why showing ID at the polls is a bad thing. It helps against voter fraud. You need an ID for everything today, from buying the good Sudafed behind the counter to cashing checks in Walmart. What is the issue? An ID card here in VA from the DMV is $10.

Exactly. But it also hurts Obama’s re-election chances. That’s the real issue here. They’re handing out voter registration cards to people in Miami who are not even citizens of the U.S. I know that for a fact.
This country is fulla idiots. We non-idiots better make our votes count or it will the 2000 election all over again. Complacency would be a mistake.

Thanks OTB
I didn’t realize you don’t have to show ID to go in and vote…
4years ago was my 1st time voting for the Presidential Election
after i heard al sharpton’s take on all this, i kinda agree with him. we’ve basically been voting the same way forever. why change now?
“A major probe by the Justice Department between 2002 and 2007 failed to prosecute a single person for going to the polls and impersonating an eligible voter, which the anti-fraud laws are supposedly designed to stop. Out of the 300 million votes cast in that period, federal prosecutors convicted only 86 people for voter fraud – and many of the cases involved immigrants and former felons who were simply unaware of their ineligibility.”

@Fe, after watching Game Change I actually felt some sympathy towards Sarah Palin. They thrust her into the spotlight without any sort of true preparation or vetting. All they were concerned about was getting that female vote.
As for the voter ID thing, I don’t see a problem with it.

I think it has a lot to do with illegal aliens. They do not want them to vote and quite frankly they don’t need to vote. How is it fair that those in prison are not allowed to vote in some states but those who jump the border can?

I see we are back on this ‘Muslim’ mess (no disrespect intended toward muslims), because the biggest dumbazz of them all (next in line after George W.) made a comment about Obama being ‘driven by a different theology’.
All I have to say is STFU.
In regards to the ID issue, I do think it is a problem that people are being allowed to vote without ID. That can only lead to a lot of unnecessary speculation that Obama is win the election unfairly.
Uhmm Sandra up until year 2012 America has not required this ID thing even before Reagan the republican hero gave amnesty to Hispanics he never had those laws.
I think these laws need to be implented after this election because many legitimate Americans will not get their IDs in time. It is also well documented that the people who are most affected by this low are not just the hispanics its also the elderly and Black people. If the law is applied for the 2014 election it would make more sense because it will give people time. But having it for the 2012 election is way to late.

The real problem they need to worry about is the illegals who are coming here and committing crimes and then running back to whatever country they originated from. I’m tired of illegals being able to go to hospitals and have babies and get medical treatment, yet citizens can’t do that because most people can’t afford insurance.
I don’t want my tax dollars being used for people who come to this country legally and immediately go on government assistance so that they can “get on their feet.” If you know you don’t have enough money to get a place and keep it moving when you get here, don’t come.

Nope. They ask to see my DMV issued ID card, with a photo.
The point of me putting the statement is to show that President Obama has nothing to do with this…Texas wants to make it’s own changes but before they can do that, there’s a guideline in which they must follow

***************************
states accept alternate forms of ids so you have to bring in some sort of id or paperwork (like a birth certificate). the latest push is to ONLY accept state id.
however, in order to get state id, you have to have certain paperwork that some argue older people, especially, do not have. life marriage license if your birth certificate does not currently match what is on the roll.
soo, it’s going to make people go through a lot of hoops to get the state id when other forms of id have been ok for ages. why?
What’s going on Ms.Everything?
This is all smoke and mirrors-this bruhaha over ID cards. Mark my words, a National ID card is coming folks!

Don’t you basically need an ID for most things?
Oh Sandra u kill me posting half azz stories sometimes. There are several forms of ID’s (see below for GA) that can be used at polls including passports. The Republicans are trying to limit the type of ID’s that can be used in hopes of reducing majority voters. If the ID requirement is limited to a certain type of ID, alot of people will not be able to vote. This will work in their favor sense they are not the most honorable or popular party.
Georgia driver’s license, even if expired
ID card issued by the state of Georgia or the federal government
Free voter ID card issued by the state or county
U.S. passport
Valid employee ID card containing a photograph from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state

I am assuming the change is because they know fraud is occuring. If that is happening, then in needs to stop.
My late father was born Black in Virginia in 1937 and yes he had to jump through hoops but Virginia gave him his birth certificate before he died.
I remember when Obama was first elected, churches were picking up elderly people in nurshing homes to go vote. Why not do the same? Give someone a ride downtown to the Clerk ofthe Court to get your marriage liscense for $5 (here in VA) or call the Health Departmenet and order a birth certificate.
Fraud means the system needs to be updated.

A lot of seriously low income people, elderly and other groups don’t have id’s. Most get a dl or state id when they begin working but for those who do not work or work under the table they can go forever without one. Most check cashing places allow their customers w/o id to pay a few dollars and have one made there. It can’t be used for legal id but can be used to cash paychecks at those establishments if they don’t have bank accounts. You don’t have to have an id to get on welfare as long as you have proof of income, a birth certificate and a social security card. You’d be surprised how many people have managed to go their entire lives without state issued identification but are still legally able to vote and should be able to do so. I’ve been voting since I turned 18 and not one time have I ever been asked to show my license or id. I go with my voter book with my address on it and have never been stopped or questioned. Yes, it would help with voter fraud but not much and those types of laws would do more harm than good in the end.

btw most illegals don’t receive cash under the table anymore (unless they’re maybe in farming or construction day jobs), they receive checks, get entered into payroll and pay taxes, just like you. Matter of fact, next time you go to work I suggest you look around because chances are you work, eat lunch with and chop it up daily with someone who is here illegally and hasn’t been caught yet. You would be surprised when you find out that you can’t tell the difference between them and yourself, outside of the necessary paperwork. Many people aren’t discovered until someone files a report on an social security number being misused and some not even then. But while they get accused of having so many “benefits” at the expense of your tax dollars, realize that they pay taxes just like you but at the end of the year, they don’t get a refund or any cuts. Most of them also aren’t the ones running up hospital bills either, it’s the citizens with no insurance, because most illegal immigrants don’t want to risk going to an ER with police and social workers asking questions. That’s why there are so many back door clinics out there that accept cash and charge half price for botched procedures. Yes something must be done about illegal immigration but at the same time know facts instead of spouting off the recycled nonsense these politicians and closet racists preach

I don’t have to show my ID for prescrip meds and most times show my MEDICAL INSURANCE card.
If I didn’t have an ID and needed one to get something behind the counter I would give Becky my money and ask HUH azz to get me what I needed. Cause most likely she done already sent 20 folks to 20 diff. stores already to get what SHE needed so she can go home and cook her meth.
Again, its not that EASY. Older folks most likely do NOT have all of what the state agencies REQUIRE to get a state issued ID. I am not sure what is the disconnect. SOME folks do NOT HAVE a bc. Some folks do NOT HAVE a social sec. card.

I think the point being made is that having an ID is something that is very important to function in everyday life for the current generation.
I am not even a tad bit close to being the smartest person & I try & stay up to date on all pop culture & government issues.
My 2 cents, If you make it over here, good 4 u! U can stay, BUT u are allowed the same opportunties we are’!! You can’t get special treatment or giving a free ride or pass!!! & Im TEAM OBAMA but I do believe an ID should be required to vote!
It’s more than just an ID which is why people were protesting. The 15th amendment says that the “right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude”. But when you start placing restrictions on what is required to vote than you open up for the chance that eligible voters are denied based on the prejudices of the polling volunteers. Right now they’re saying that id should be required to avoid the illegal immigrants (many of whom have valid id btw), then when that’s not enough they’ll say they want criminal history surveys taken to screen out the felons, and so on and so on until once again a huge segment of eligible voters are excluded and harassed at the polls. What if your dl doesn’t match the address on file because you moved? What if you recently lost your wallet and don’t have one when you go? Or you just got married/divorced and your name is different but you haven’t gotten the new card? Who’s to say who can go through and place their ballot or not? That is where the problem lies, so forget about those who have been getting through without an id for a second and try to see the bigger picture. There are reasons why photo id is not required.
What if your purse or wallet is stolen or lost on election day??? ID yes photo ID NOPE! My late gma did not have a photo ID but she still voted in the last election as she shld have
Yeah, go read the 15th Amendment
I am still with the argument that:
SOME CAN’T AFFORD IT! IF THEY MAKE IT MANDATORY–THEY SHOULD GIVE THE ID’S AWAY FOR FREE.(THIS’LL COST MILLIONS TOO)
THEY CAN NOT MAKE US HAVE TO PAY IN ORDER TO VOTE.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER VIEWPOINT…

Maybe so but everyone is not of your generation that has the constitutional right to vote.
Voter fraud is high risk and low reward..
1st off the person commiting the fraud has to know the person they are impersonation are:
1. registered to vote in the 1st place
2. has not already voted
3. is someone others won’t recognize at the polls
one false move= 5yrs in prison
high risk low reward that’s why the GOPer cannot find that many instances of voter fraud.

making people pay in order to obtain ID to vote is called a POLL TAX which is illegal…
Thanks Dat #knowledgeispower

Yeah, I’d like to see ONE illegal try to vote illegally, gop is soooo stupid and unrelatable, dishonest, unapproachable, etc.
No leadership qualities whatsoever, & they need the hispanic and independent vote, but they’re not going after it, they’re out here talking about abortions and contraceptives
#weirdos
Y’all they have the majority hispanic vote and they’re not all bad but they let their extremist nutjobs be their public face and now they all look like lunatics
If you die somewhere and you can not be identified because you have you legal ID, you are sent to the morgue as Jane/John Doe and if unclaimed you are buried in an unmarked grave?
How do I know?
I have a friend whose cousin died that way. Went for a walk, got hit by a car, police could not ID her because no photo ID was found,became Jane Doe.
Get a picture ID. You need one. EVERYTIME I vote, I’m asked for ID. Can’t blame race. I live in a majority Black city.
Sigh…..some people need to read before getting their political viewpoints from Sandrarose. It has been repeatedly stated that it is not simply an ID that is being requested but a specific voter ID that many people, including those who keep talking about well I have an ID/DL may not have the time nor the means to obtain by the 2012 election.
And all this talk about illegal immigrants voting…MISS ME!!! They are not voting people! Pay attention! There has not been one single fact, stat whatever to support this sudden “fear” of illegals voting! DO your research and you will see that the states implementing these laws have historically practiced voter discrimination…hence the reason for Section 5 of the Voter Rights Act. I just can’t with the ignorance.

What’s that got to do with voting?…….. Yes people should have ID but that shouldn’t preclude them from voting….
Ms. Everything says: Yes something must be done about illegal immigration but at the same time know facts instead of spouting off the recycled nonsense these politicians and closet racists preach

it’s hard to believe that people actually BELIEVE all the shyt coming out of these republican mouths!

lawd!!! i actually like illegals. i don’t know about all of them but the ones i see work hard az f*ck and i ain’t trying to do the jobs they do. if they all disappeared tomorrow, i know one thing–the price of EVERYTHANG would skyrocket due to the higher costs of american labor.
AND, fyi, ain’t no illegals running to the polls so that they can be discovered and deported. they try to be as undercover as possible.
and a lot of you live in metropolitan areas. in less populated areas, state ids are not a big deal…AT ALL.
How does this emphasize the desperation of the Obama administration? The last time I checked, the Texas Electoral Votes have always gone to Republicans, so this move wouldn’t help Obama win Texas. So I highly doubt this has anything to do with them being desperate. Stop reaching Sandra and prepare for another 4 years of Obama!
