Attorney General Eric Holder is defending the Justice Department’s opposition to some state laws requiring voters to present photo IDs when they go to the polls.  At a House appropriations subcommittee hearing, Holder says the federal government must think long and hard about the negative impact that photo identification requirements have on the ability of minorities, the elderly and young people to vote. 

DOJ is only opposing those Voter ID laws where they can play political games with the Section 5 preclearance process.
