"...In its 2000 ruling, Alexander v Mineta, the Court decided the 600,000 or so (mostly black) residents of Washington D.C. have no legal recourse for their complete lack of voting representation in Congress (they have one “representative” in the House who can speak, but cannot vote). The Court affirmed the district court's interpretation that our Constitution "does not protect the right of all citizens to vote, but rather the right of all qualified citizens to vote.” And it's state legislatures that wield the power to decide who is “qualified.”
A ruling does mean it is right, it just means it is law.

If voting is so darn important to these supposed DISENFRANCHISED people. why can't they spend just a few minutes to get an ID. This argument is so lame it isn't funny. This is about voters for the dems that don't have to be legal and lazyness on the "DISENFRANCHISED".
