“The Obama administration has every reason to believe it can get away scot-free with disenfranchising America’s fighting men and women.

After all, soldiers can’t fight back.”

There is a disconnect here.   Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota are mobilizing and raising funds against the Minnesota voter ID amendment.  I guess Planned Parenthood from the entire region has successfully ensured that everyone is getting their free or government subsidized contraception or health care.  Now they can now move on to the really important issues involving women’s health – photo ID. 

According to this Planned Parenthood office in Iowa, you need a photo ID for payment of services.  

According to this article, Florida is chomping at the bit to prosecute while Maryland seemingly has little interest in an investigation or prosecution.

Elections officials in Florida say they are asking prosecutors there to
investigate allegations that former Maryland congressional candidate Wendy Rosen
was registered and voted in both states.

Democrat defends Voter ID.  Ocean State Current.

Link to story:  

Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler said Louisiana residents may vote without presenting a photo ID. Voters who either don’t have a photo ID or lost a driver’s license on Election Day are able to sign an affidavit with an on-site election commissioner and vote.

“Most people come in with a photo ID, and that’s the end of it,” Schedler said during a phone interview Friday. “The magic wand that Louisiana has over these other states with voter ID laws is that we think we hit a middle-ground approach to it.”

After the 2008 presidential election, Schedler’s office found an average of only 23 voters in each of the state’s parishes used the sworn affidavit rather than a photo ID to cast a ballot.

The Voter ID amendment is very popular in Minnesota.  According to our new poll, 62 percent of Minnesotans support the idea of requiring photo ID’s to vote on Election Day, while 31 percent oppose. Just 7 percent are undecided. A huge majority of Republicans, 87 percent, favor the amendment along with 65 percent of independent voters. Democrats oppose the measure by a 53 percent to 39 percent margin. 

The only surprise in this survey is that the Democrats have finally talked themselves out of support for voter ID.  In most surveys, support for voter ID is significant even among Democrats with only hard core liberals opposing it.

You can’t make this stuff up.  PJ Rule of Law.

it’s unnecessary, intimidating and could suppress voting.
