BREAKING NEWS: PA Judge Blocks Voter ID Requirement

[eastside313]

Naw, y'all.

This was a controversial law that said that you had to present a VERY-SPECIFIC type of photo ID in order to vote, or you ain't votin'. Any other type of ID will not be accepted.

The lawsuit argued not that it was unconstitutional, but that it was unfair in that it disenfranchised entire portions of the population by its application. Like, they had people testify about not being able to get the ID from the state, having problems once at the office, etc...

Not surprisingly, it would have almost certainly limited the ability to vote of countless minorities, senior citizens, young adults, college students and poor people.

It was a Republican-sponsored bill that became law, and it was basically enacted to make sure that Obama wouldn't get elected again. I mean, let's be real here....he won this region in 2008 and it's a vital region. Mad young people helped put him over the top. That was four years ago, and now you have another crop of young people who will be voting for the first time. It was the Republicans' way of addressing the youth vote, of trying to quell it.

Anyway....nikkas need to educate yourselves. It's not a game.

I've always had to show ID when I voted.

why would it limit their ability?

every sensible human being of voting age should be able to produce atleast 1 valid form of photo id PERIOD.

the fact that democrats are happy about the fact that people dont just makes them look bad.

im not even sure how many western nations would even consider allowing someone to vote without photo id

I've always showed DMV issued photo ID when I vote. As previously said this isn't anything to celebrate or be proud of.
