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.

Apparently Iowa is encountering the same resistance and delay that Florida and Colorado confirming the citizenship of voters with the Department of Homeland Security database. Despite the law explicitly allowing for such verification of citizenship, the federal agency continues to drag its feet. 

The secretary of state’s office identified 3,582 non-citizens in Iowa
who were registered to vote. Some of those may have later become
naturalized citizens. So, in order to find out who is legal and who
isn’t, Secretary Schultz attempted to gain access to the Systematic
Alien Verification and Entitlements (SAVE) database. Those efforts have
been denied, apparently in violation of federal law.

“Although federal law explicitly grants states the right to access
the citizenship information contained in the SAVE database, Iowa has yet
to gain this access despite the fact that other states have
successfully done so,” Schultz said last week while testifying before
the Senate Judiciary Committee. “There have been multiple delays in
communications attributable to that agency.”

An acceptable level of fraud for the Secretary of State in Massachusetts. Not one idea, proposed solution, or original thought.

Gone are the dreaded checkboxes, but a new law signed by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder requires voters to affirm their citizenship on absentee ballot applications. 

Anticipating another partisan veto of voter ID legislation by Governor Nixon, there is a proposed voter ID constitutional amendment placed on the table. 

Representative Tony Dugger filed 2 Voter Id bills: HB 48 to change the statute to mandate photo ID and HRJ1 that would amend the Missouri Constitution to allow photo ID.
