Carded at polls: No photo ID, no vote

Indiana requires valid photo ID to vote

These folks live in Indiana, home of the country's most restrictive photo-identification voter law. The U.S. Supreme Court is now scrutinizing whether that statute violates the first and 14th amendments, in the most contentious legal battle over voting since the high court issued a bitterly divided decision eight years ago that stopped Florida's recount and handed the presidency to George W. Bush.

No, what it stopped was the Florida supreme court from circumventing its own state constitution to get the results that they wanted. Remember, the Florida court was all Democrats.

Opponents, most of them Democrats, say requiring photo ID at the polls disproportionately affects the poor, the elderly and minorities - the most likely to lack photo identification.

Or convicted felons, illegal aliens, the dead , and people who want to vote twice.

"You want us to invalidate a statute on the ground that it's a minor inconvenience to a small percentage of voters?" asked Justice Anthony Kennedy, traditionally the swing vote between the court's conservative and liberal members.

I find it ironic that the party that screamed fraud in 2000 is combating a way to prevent voter fraud today. Maybe it is because they have a long history of fraud themselves. Just in 2004: Tennessee had a 25% increase in provisional ballots in heavy Democrat districts, with over 75% of those ballots being tossed due to improper ballots. Ohio had four counties with more registered voters than people over the age of 18 living in the county, all heavy Democrat counties. I think they doth protest too loudly.
