NAACP: Voter ID Fight Like “Great Civil Rights Battles”

Fox has more.  One big difference – in the 1960’s the majority of the American people agreed with the NAACP.  Not anymore on Voter ID.  Another difference – in the 1960’s the battle was about justice and equality. 

The modern fight against Voter ID enables lawlessness and, worse, permanently disconnects a group of Americans from the mainstream of American economic life.  I’ve had to use my ID three times this week already – to board a plane, to check into a hotel, and to rent a car.  Obviously those activities aren’t constitutionally protected, but rather than keeping those without ID’s in permanent second class citizenship, Voter ID opponents could be working to help people obtain the free ID’s so they can fully participate in the American economy.
