How does voter ID single out African-Americans? Are the DMVs and state offices practicing Jim Crow policies now? I didn't realize blacks weren't allowed to get state IDs like the rest of us.

Give me a break. ANY US CITIZEN can easily get a state ID, regardless of race.

Retarded liberals never cease to amaze me. Everything is "racist" to the liberals, even when it affects all races equally.

@dslgunner1977 -- Yeah, you are a Republican alright. I am looking forward to you saying there is NO racism in America.

This issue is a lot more complex than your little jaundiced brain can decipher.

hmmmm, weighted to account for underrepresentation of race. Us science types call that fudging the data. Douche Bags!

[MrSilverSquid]

"Although the results of this survey were weighted to account for underrepresentation of race, they were not weighted to account for a likely skew toward higher-income households. Because the survey found that low-income households were less likely to have documentary proof of citizenship or photo ID, it is therefore likely that the survey results actually underestimate the total number of American citizens who do not have readily available documentation."

[MrSilverSquid]

Fact is, if you are too lazy to go get and ID, you are most likely too lazy to go out and vote. These laws are necessary to prevent crap like organized and subsidized "vouching" like just happened in Minn. (look it up)

So all Republican voters have ID? I don't get it!!! Basically they're saying that Democrats are morons who don't even have ID's! How do you not have an ID? I can understand not having a bank account or a credit card, but no ID? Give me a break!

@lta6494 wow i think i screwed that reply up!

@carmeldipped1 since when do states have to have their laws reviewed by the justice department? most people do not think this law is a good, I have to hand someone my idea for everything, if I do not present one to law enforcement (which I do not agree with) I could be arrested. I cant think of a good reason to oppose it....unless you want to multi vote, or have illegals voting.

@MrGunman11 liberals generally don't like these laws because it infringes on their right to fix elections.

[carmeldipped1]

@lta6494 the Supreme Court is still out on this, furthermore,Scott and Browning did not wait for a Justice Department review. They implemented the new election law. That means some counties have the new election law and other counties are under the Civil Rights Voting Act protection. Short answer: Florida has two sets of election laws. This is how serious of a policy wonk Rick Scott is.
