Last minute to you, is not last minute to the folks that are going to be affected by this.
Obviously those guys are getting caught. How do you catch people voting under false identities without voter ID laws? How do you even know it's being committed without them?
The "bragging" you refer to I've already addressed in a previous reply, and "the florida guy" is under criminal investigation and could be looking to save his skin by throwing people under busses. But all this is beside my point - legitimate republics need voter ID laws like large public swimming pools need lifeguards. Maybe nobody ever drowned thus far, maybe nobody ever will, but it's madness to go without. And furthermore, if you can't get a picture ID in 11 weeks, I'm sorry to say maybe you need to address getting your shit together. No sympathy from me - remember, I'm the guy who also says that enfranchisement should be suspended for those on public assistance until they are no longer on them.
Where are the statistics showing that each state has half a million voters with no picture ID?
congratulations on your privilege
Yeah, I totally had to grease palms and huff out "Don't you know who I am? I know the Mayor! I'm WHITE! TREAT ME SPECIAL!"
Well, those weren't around for everyone when they got their driver's license. I mean, Dave had to sit still for 6 months waiting for them to chisel his likeness out of stone. That's hard to pull off in 11 weeks
Dude it's Colorado, everybody is white and entitled.
Just worded some searches in different ways, but I can't find anything about this. Care to cite a source?

Because if they did it properly and waited until 2013 the GOP couldn't rig the election for Romney.
If only the founding fathers were smart enough to set up DMV's in 1786.
Well, you COULD enact it with a long period in which it doesn't have an effect. Like, pass the law now, have it without effect for one or two years, for instance. Use the elections in the meantime to do make sure everyone knows in the *next* election they'll need this ID.
So you're just trying to sabotage the midterms!
Yes, but that is something you would hear. That or you're deliberately creating confusion which would make voters think they need an id for current election. You could have this debate in January and you would still see the same arguments.
Ladies and gentlemen! (Yeah, the rest of you too)
I thought they'd already done south carolina in december... and Ohio isn't subject to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, so they're more likely to be left alone, like Philadelphia. It's just us southern states that have to get super secret special permission to change our voting laws from the federal Justice Dept.
From the article.
So no, it's still being decided. However, there is now precedent, so it's unlikely to stand. Precedent is everything in law.
Did you know it's racist to remove the party affiliation from the ballot? Kinston, North Carolina knows that now. Because according to an un-elected Judge in DC a) Black people wouldn't know who to vote for, and b) all black people vote democrat. White Knighting racism at it's finest.
Heh, I remember that. If I had my way, there'd be a quick political awareness quiz to vote - IE, "Name either your district's current representative in the house, one of your state's senators, or the current secretary of state." And that's setting the bar pretty dang low.
6% voter turnout.
Sounds good to me. I've always said too many people are voting.[DOUBLEPOST=1346508079][/DOUBLEPOST]But, on the subject of Ohio, they got an injunction.
