In New Hampshire, the Nashua Telegraph reports that Democrats want to repeal the photo ID law which worked without incident or controversy in the 2012 election. Even though President Obama won the state and Democrats made gains in the state legislature they are intent to repealing the ID law. Democrats must believe they can cement their gains by eliminating the confirmation or verification of identity of voters at the polls.
Despite Republicans negotiating and finding a bipartisan voter ID compromise last year, Democrats now continue to claim that their voters are somehow disenfranchised. Despite the Department of Justice declaring the law void of any discriminatory or racial intent, the Democrats have to find a victim. The victim this time: Students.
“My students are disenfranchised by this,” said state Rep. Cynthia
Chase, a Keene Democrat and a part-time professor at Keene State College
who has signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill. “They’re smart and
they’re knowledgeable, and it’s harder for them to vote.”
Apparently, part-time Professor Chase doesn’t think her students are smart or knowledgeable enough though to get their ID. Don’t buy it. Democrats are simply trying to repeal the infant bipartisan voter ID law for partisan gain.
