![]() It's the same thing as redistricting to get more Congressmen or preserve the political makeup of a gerrymandered district - changing voting requirements and ability to vote with easy has always been a political ploy, and the Republican party has used it for some time.

![]() Considering it points out all the pertinent concerns, and is factually correct, yup. Feel free to ignore that one if you wish. You can read one of the other thousand newspaper articles on the web about it.

Asking people for a photo ID to prove that they are who they say they are is hardly discriminatory regardless of how it is being spun. This is 2011, getting a gov't issued photo ID is hardly difficult or beyond just about anyone's capabilities. |

Do you think it's fair that students have to show a receipt for current paid tuition in addition to a photo ID that can't be their school ID because the school ID's do not fit the criteria the Republicans wrote into the law, chosen on purpose so students couldn't use them? Yeah. It's oh so fair. This is just another reason why the Republican party is headed into the political wilderness. Here's the main reason http://www.frumforum.com/paul-ryan-2012s-goldwater

The idea that this is such a huge outrage is silly. The GOP wants to do things that will help them get elected, plain and simple. Just like the other side does. |

![]() i'm pretty sure students who move out of state could vote by absentee ballot in their home state. perhaps that's the purpose of not taking a college id? after all, if a student is paying higher out of state tuition, he's not a citizen of said state, is he?
i don't see the big issue here at all. other states are either already requiring id, or in the process of doing so. |
