These numbers have to concern Democrats who are hoping to whip up a backlash against voter ID legislation by falsely claiming they are a new form of “Jim Crow” laws intended to foster discrimination. Indeed, given the drumbeat of incitement against voter ID laws in the mainstream media, you have to wonder why there is so much resistance to the liberal line on this topic. The answer, however, is quite simple. The public knows that claims that voter fraud is nonexistent run counter to everything they know about politicians, elections and human nature… Interestingly enough, as the Post notes in their own analysis of the poll, a solid majority of both the elderly and the poor — groups it is believed will be impacted by such laws — also support voter ID.

Iowa Dem leader criticizes Secretary of State for checking Iowa voter rolls for non-citizens
A top Senate Democrat on Tuesday criticized Iowa’s Republican secretary of state for “undermining” the voting rights of Iowans by enacting emergency rules to purge foreign nationals from the state’s voter registration list and make it easier to file allegations of voter fraud.
Removing non-eligible voters is actually the law. I guess if you don’t look for ineligible voters, you can never be accused of intentionally leaving them on the rolls. And if you never investigate voter fraud, you can always safely say…. “it doesn’t exist” – at least in Iowa.

Lawyers for the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office, which argued in defense of the law, said the state will issue special photo ID cards to registered voters who are unable to get Pennsylvania Department of Transportation-issued IDs, and are also rolling out a public campaign to make sure voters are aware of the change.
Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for the Houston-based election integrity group True the Vote, told TheBlaze they were celebrating the judge’s ruling but not necessarily surprised by it.
“It‘s obviously good news but True the Vote wasn’t really surprised by the ruling, given that Indiana’s voter ID law was upheld by the Supreme Court a few years back,” Churchwell said.
Simpson cited the 2008 Supreme Court decision that upheld the Indiana law, where the justices said the state had a “valid interest” in protecting elections and improving procedures.
