So voter ID is right up there with gun violence and climate change.  I guess “fixing those lines” is out the door and it is back to demonizing the confirmation of identity of voters, an issue that was a non-issue in the administration of the election.

The New  York Times reports: “What Mr. Obama wants to achieve this term is pretty clear: a fiscal deal and overhauls of gun and immigration laws, steps to address climate change and less restrictive voter identification laws.”

I actually find this hard to believe and the New York Times has it wrong.  He has little control on the issue in the states and there are many more pressing problems in our country, yet he throws out voter ID in his top 5 priorities.  No wonder the Holder DOJ fought so hard to politicize voter ID and use Section 5 to delay enactment across the country by any means necessary.  The orders came straight from the White House.
