So why is it all these republican leaders are coming out and saying these photo ID laws were passed to suppress the "black vote", such as Representative Mike Turzai (R-PA) GOP lawmaker who said on camera that this law is "gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania"?
Or Jim Greer, the former chairman of the republican party in Florida, saying that meetings were held just after the 2008 election to talk about ways to suppress the black vote?
These comments don't bode well for the open and free elections this country is supposed to have. Hopefully, the courts are going to decide that these laws violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and overturn them.

There are responses for both situations and of course similair striking comments from the Democratic party !
The issue is voter id, with no motive...just show me who you are as you do when you buy beer, use a credit card, etc before you excercise your vote.
I assume from your comments that you are on the column labeled that you do not need to prove who you are. I am in the other column, as I consider voting a step above buying booze, using my credit card, etc, and I DO care whether someone votes who should not.
Everyone would be better served to forget anything but addressing the problems in this country. The deficit, the unemployment, the despair of so many, the spending, etc....it has to be addressed no matter how many times you want to throw mud at people and ignore what is going on.
