Big surprise, the Department of Justice’s, Civil Rights Division rejected South Carolina’s new law that would require voters to identify themselves at the polls according to the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Opponents of the laws say they would discriminate against minorities and others, such as low-income voters, because some don\u2019t have the necessary photo identification and lack the means to easily obtain ID cards.<\/p>\n

Conservatives and other supporters of the tighter laws say they are needed to combat voter fraud.<\/p>\n

Under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, several of the states that enacted voter-identification laws are required to receive federal \u201cpre-clearance\u201d to ensure that the changes don\u2019t affect minority political power. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the 1965 law was written to protect minorities from Democrats. Now we need laws to protect the majority from Democrats and their illegal attempts to inflict the votes of ineligible voters on the rest of us. It stands to reason that a Democrat administration would block the attempt to have fair elections.<\/p>\n

Low income voters don’t have a problem getting the necessary identification to collect their monthly food stamps or drivers’ licenses or Medicaid cards. Every place I’ve lived, the local government forced me to get a government ID whether I drove or not, so how am I to believe that there are people without ID cards. How are they cashing checks, opening bank accounts, getting on airplanes or buses if they don’t have any ID?<\/p>\n
