SCOTUS lets Wisconsin voter ID law stand

[SassyIrishLass]

Common sense prevails, well done Whisky

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court refused Monday to hear a major challenge to Wisconsin's voter ID law, delivering a victory to Republicans who favor tougher election laws.

The decision is a setback for civil rights groups that contend the law could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of residents who lack proper ID - particularly racial minorities, seniors, students and people with disabilities.

Nice one less state republicans will bitch about when it votes blue again in 2016.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Onward. It won't be a GOP advantage for long, this issue is dying out, literally.

All those stupid enough to believe Wisconsin's Voter ID will stop the types of voter fraud which occur there, raise your right hand.

Hint: That's the hand most of you eat your manufactured bullshit with.

You could have a requirement that a voter has to scratch their nose with their left hand before they can be given a ballot, and it would stand up to constitutional muster.

But it would do fuck-all to stop voter fraud.

Just so with Voter ID.

I don't know how anyone can call themselves a conservative who believes in a government program which unnecessarily interferes in one of our most precious institutions and wastes taxpayer dollars.

These aren't the actions of Conservatives, they are Reactionaries. Trying to turn back the clocks to when bitches and darkies couldn't vote.

They dont care...they just want it and thats good enough...The "stopping voter fraud" was a lie used to promote it

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I knew SCOTUS would let it go, Wisconsin mirrored their law after Indiana's and Indiana's passed SCOTUS scrutiny. Soon other states will follow

"The Supreme Court's decision is a huge step backward for our democracy," said Penda Hair, co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights group. "The 300,000 registered Wisconsin voters who lack the limited forms of photo ID needed to vote in Wisconsin - disproportionately African Americans and Latinos â?? deserve to have their voices heard in our political process."

Oh look... someone mindlessly repeating the party line...

The ID has to be free, it's the papers to get it that can cost some real dollars, if you have them that is.

Nothing wrong with a reasonable ID law with plenty of lead and opportunity to correct mistakes.

No restrictions on buying a gun (they claim any registration, waiting period or back ground check violates their rights) yet place restrictions on our most precious right and duty as citizens.

Conservatives, I wish you were consistent.

 

[HenryBHough]

A mere Supreme Court Decision?

That CANNOT stand in the presence of a so-called "president" armed with BOTH pen and phone!

Can it?

Not just any ID, but a state-issued picture ID.
