"Looking at voter ID laws alone, we know that although 11 percent of Americans lack government-issued photo ID, 25 percent of African-Americans, 16 percent of Hispanics and 18 percent of elderly voters do not have this form of ID"

Are you kidding me?? That many people don't have driver's licenses? Don't have to show photo ID to cash a check? open a bank account? buy cigarettes or liquor? get on a plane? enter a federal bldg.? Hell, they had to show photo ID to get in to the NAACP convention in TX to listen to Eric Holder spew his bilge!

Some of the states provide these photo IDs FREE! "Over 70 percent of whites (77 percent), Hispanics (78 percent) and blacks (70 percent) support the requirement. Black and Hispanic voters did not express measurably less support for voter identification requirements than whites." Every American should want to ensure elections are legitimate and only eligible people are voting. Only people who want or intend to engage in voter fraud are in opposition.
