The politics and realities of Voter ID: States across the country are cracking down on voting fraud by passing voter ID laws. The Obama administration led by Attorney General Eric Holder and the organized Left respond by claiming it will somehow disenfranchise the poor, elderly, and minorities. . . But Mr. Obama has not proposed creating yet another Big Government program to provide the elderly, the poor, and minorities with free or subsidized photo-ID’s so they might participate in any or all of the activities I mentioned above. Instead, his solution to the voting issue is to recklessly resist improving ballot security by opposing efforts to implement and enforce photo-ID at the polls.
How about redirecting the court costs of challenging state Voter ID laws to providing photo IDs for those the ACLU and NAACP claim can’t get IDs on their own?
