    Dude, if they can't read it's because liberals have totally screwed the education system. Even if they can't read it's no excuse for not knowing the law. I just visited Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky and they have TVs, radios, cable, satellite and internet there, too.

    It's always amazing to hear how much power the liberals have in your country... and they have apparently done this for generations... and how powerless and inefficient the conservatives must be. They can't even find the time to make sure they own children are being educated properly by actively being involved in their homework or school associations. I guess just ing about it is all they can do.

    You don't think we should be suspicious of this new law seeing as how you guys have moved so quickly and admitted in public it was to help Romney? Its like your fear of a second term by this president makes you guys desperate.

    Is this the best your high school could produce? A video about Mudhutmad, obviously produced by someone who had not actually had sex.

    Don't worry guys there are always hanging chads to disenfranchise voters all you have to do is sabatage the machines at key polling stations, you know the ones, where there is a concentration of the other guys supporters, everyone can vote but no one gets a vote, I hear it was a very successful tactic in one presidential election

    So we stick with state control, and eliminate voter rights? So much for working together.

    Remember that concept that you couldn't get.. Here's how the judges on the state Supreme Court SIMPLIFIED the issue.

    The high court has requested Judge Simpson’s opinion by October 2. If Simpson finds that the ID’s can be easily obtained, and voters will have no difficulty casting a ballot on Election Day, then the state Supreme Court will let the law stand.

    Yes, voter fraud and voter suppression are two sides of the same coin.

    I know some people are ideologically opposed to the idea, but the only solution to Federal elections is a top down approach.

    What? What problem? When you eliminate that state bias your elections become fairer because that local sectarism is eliminated, everyone is then subject to the same laws and the same implementation

    What we have learned that if you let a central authority preside over the federal elections, the state elections, local elections and even union elections you get a fairer outcome. The candidates can get on with their contact with the public, etc and not worry about issues of who is qualified, etc. You have to remember who is talking to you, the people who essentially brought you unions, female suffrage and compulsory voting, the quality of democracy has not been reduced by such things

    We are a republic of 50 states, unless you're Obama then its 57 or something, it was designed for states to have control but you know that. As for your eliminating voter rights line, no one is eliminating any voter rights. That's a completely dishonest an argument.
