It is really hard to discuss this thread. When common sense, logic, and the words right out of the speaker of Penn. house are thrown aside, you have a one sided discussion. That is not uncommon here, but it doesn't make it right.

The 2002 Help American Vote Act accepted a social security number to be used as an acceptable id at the voting booth. If it was good then, when "W" was president, why not now?

Concerning the public assistance comment, that doesn't sound like targeting. We know what that sounds like. From that comment, it appears that inner city blacks don't have jobs. We are back to the welfare moms. They take the bus or walk to work. Given the automobile insurance rates for inner city people, public transportation makes total sense. Maybe just maybe, they can't afford a car!

Given what is going on about voter id laws, and Gerrymandering, the federal government may have to step in, and correct these situations. States lose their rights, when they abuse their powers.

How about doing something totally out of character, winning on a level playing field?
