standardLaw Requireing ID to Vote Upheld

In a 6-3 ruling (Breyer, Ginsburg and Souter dissenting) the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld an Illinois (doh) Indiana law that requires photo ID to vote. This law was pushed by Republicans who claim that it will prevent fraud. There is little evidence that this is true but one thing that is not disputed is that those who will be affected by this law (minorities, the elderly, and the poor) are overwhelmingly Democratic.

I don’t buy that the Republicans are just concerned about voter fraud considering their history the past two elections in Ohio and Florida. I say that this is just another version of the Poll Taxes that were used so effectively to prevent minorities and the elderly from voting in the past.

My primary concern with these types of laws are a little different than most. I strongly feel that any American who makes the decision to abstain from getting a state ID has the right to do so. If they feel that their privacy or freedom from the government is worth the hassle then the government should not be able to restrict them from their basic rights. And Yes voting is a basic right.

Tony Zirkle who recently gave a speech at a birthday celebration for Adolph Hitler, has issued a statement on his official campaign website. As expected its not an apology. Instead I would classify it as a deranged rant about the great tyrant king porn dragon that inspires Jews into pornography and prostitution. You seriously can’t [...]
