Pennsylvania voter ID law could affect 1 million voters
« on: July 06, 2012, 12:03:06 pm »
More than 758,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania do not have photo identification cards from the state Transportation Department, putting their voting rights at risk in the November election, according to data released Tuesday by state election officials.

The figures - representing 9.2 percent of the state's 8.2 million voters - are significantly higher than prior estimates by the Corbett administration. Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele has repeatedly said that 99 percent of Pennsylvania's voters already had the photo ID they will need at the polls in November.

The new numbers, based on a comparison of voter registration rolls with PennDot ID databases, shows the potential problem is much bigger, particularly in Philadelphia, where 186,830 registered voters - 18 percent of the city's total registration - do not have PennDot ID.

How is this legal again?

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I'm guessing you posted two videos because one is full of liberal commenters who are calling it out for the bullshit it is, while the other video is full of conservative commenters who are lauding saying how wonderful it'll be for the country, and that voter fraud is the only way Dems can win.

The shorter vid is the governor/senator (I forget which) saying in no uncertain terms that the point of the ID laws are to let Romney win. The longer one is liberal commentary.

When the nation was young, if you wanted to vote you had to present a portrait painting of yourself.

I could possibly get behind Voter ID laws if the the forms of ID were free of charge and more easily available.  As it stands now, these laws are a backdoor means of voter suppression.
