It's about time, that part of the VLA was unconstitutional when it was written.

Since when did higher incidence of infractions become justification for denying due process? That is like saying people accused of an offense in a high crime neighborhood do not deserve a day in court the prosecutor gets to decide their guilt or innocence independently.

What is your point? If requiring ID is voter suppression then why is it OK for early voting? If it doesn't suppress early voting then why would it do so on election day? The objections to voter ID are simply demogoging.

It appears we have two/three separate ideas relating to this topic. In KS. the State Treasurer ran on having a voter ID. I wasn't impressed and my voting place changed to.
I don't like that either. Yet we have a paper trail and many other states don't.

That bothers me as in these states there can be some kind of voter fraud.

Heck about everything is corrupt one way or the other. When it comes to voting everyone ought to want the process to be right without any chance of any form of fraud.

The fact that there are still racists in some areas does not mean that we can walk all over thier rights or treat them differently. And you still haven't proven that there is a issue with the elections, just made a claim that there are still racists down south.

Maybe it was a deal the left had to make with the right in order to get early voting. Just a thought.

The real "basic question," I believe, is whether the US should be comprised of some full-fledged members and other probationary (or even junior) members.

And I emphatically believe that any such dichotomy is jusy plain wrong...

The buzz on voter ID law is that it unfairly discriminates against people who don't have driver's licenses, like students, the poor and the elderly.

That would be the buzz from those with little to no understanding of voter ID laws. Knowledgeable people know better. Most voter I.D. laws accept almost any form of ID i.e. drivers license, student ID, voter registration card, military ID, etc.
The fact of the matter is there in practically nobody in this country without some form of ID. Without ID its almost impossible to function in this country.

Then why isn't the DOJ bringing suits to overturn all voter ID laws instead of just blocking implementation in certain states? If it is vote suppression in South Carolina why is it OK in Illinois? Holder has politicized the issue to drum up votes for his boss.
