West Virginia Secretary Tennant veers left, targets Voter ID

Out of West Virginia, West Virginia’s elections chief is enlisting allies to fight legislation that would require voters to show photo identification. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant unveiled the Voting Rights Protection Coalition on Monday at her Capitol office.  The group is targeting voter ID.

Whoa…. someone has forgotten about those voter fraud claims in 2010 that plagued West Virgina and started her very voter protection group out of her office.  Observers could have seen this coming with this headline earlier in the month:  Labor protest voter ID proposal. 

When it serves their own interest in the integrity of their elections, Unions have recognized the importance of photo ID.
