Planned Parenthood attacks voter ID in Texas
In Texas, ABC reports that Planned Parenthood fighting to increase abortion, diverges and attacks voter ID. Generally, the Democrats occasionally shift from the race card to the “women’s health” card but who would have figured.
Texas’ photo ID measure has been challenged by the Justice Department, which says it discriminates against minorities and low-income voters. But the impact on women, who may have trouble proving their identity because their names changed due to marriage, has been the latest headline-grabbing side effect.
Democrats hope these stories will help build public opposition to voter ID measures in states like Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania a full year before it matters in critical congressional and gubernatorial races.
“We are seeing now, thank goodness a year ahead of time of the November 2014 elections, just exactly what the consequences are,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood and a native Texan, told a small group of reporters this morning.
“I do think that all of the lifting up of these stories are really important because they’re a chance for these legislatures to do the right thing,” she added.

“Latest voter fraud conviction makes case for voter ID”
Wisconsin Reporter. Look for the voter fraud deniers to move the goalposts. They’ll want voter ID to make a significant difference, or meaningful difference or alter the outcomes of elections. Of course it isn’t about altering outcomes. It’s about making sure not a single illegal vote is cast. “The court will agree this is the most serious of all election fraud” offenses Landgraf told Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Timothy Witkowiak on Thursday, as quoted by the Journal Sentinel. “Someone is seeking to dilute the vote of others … It goes against the fundamental principle of one person, one vote.” And here’s another point Landgraf raised at the sentencing, a point often overlooked in Wisconsin. “(I)t’s not difficult to in fact steal someone’s vote or vote twice,” the assistant D.A. said, according to the newspaper. He said the system “invests quite a bit of trust in the individual voter,” and Gigowski abused that trust.
