The PA court has ruled there is no disenfranchisement. A big win for election integrity. A big loss for vote fraud deniers like the NAACP. I have posted the opinion here.

Excellent!
Obama is in trouble now.

A cesspool dries up,a bastion of fraud,filth,welfare and poverty of the mind has been schooled! Onward to boston,nyc,dc; beginning to sound like a Bachmann Turner Overdrive song.
Finally, maybe somebody realizes we have a ballot integrity. Who would think, with 11 million illegals running loose in the land? And corrupt politicians eager to do everything they can to induce them to vote.
Oops. Ballot integrity problem.
Philadelphia will largely ignore it and the local judges will support them on election day.
They’ll get their injunction by arguing some unique feature of the Pa. law that distinguishes it from the law SCOTUS upheld in 2008. Judges usually like to give the plaintiff every chance to prove his case and if it can’t be adjudicated on the merits before the election, an injunction will issue. Politically speaking, it doesn’t matter if the granting judge is overruled after the election. The injunction need last only thru election day.
Good. The more the NAACP gets slapped down, the better. They are an organization that lost the thread long ago, and they aren’t advancing anybody.
Someone once said that all great causes turn into businesses and then rackets.
Prediction: The turnout in Philly will again be 105% or better.
Huzzah!
Want to immediately shut down any Lefty liar on this topic? Just ask them this:
“If getting to a DMV – which is open week after week, month after month – to get a driver’s license or ID is so difficult for someone, how is it that they’re somehow able to get to a polling station that’s only open once a year?”
Then enjoy the blank screen/face
If a photo I.D. were required in order to purchase a Power Ball ticket, we would not be having this conversation.
I’m thrilled anytime I see common sense judicial actions.
Well doggone it,what will the Black Panthers do now with no one to intimidate? Oh wait, its the REAL voters they do that too,Never Mind.
But how will the dead remain politically active? Doesn’t this disenfranchise them?
Absolutely! Equal rights for Necro-Americans!
No Representation without Respiration
I hope Republicans recruit a bunch of big, strong military veterans as poll workers in Pennsylvania.
From voter ID, to allowing incarcerated felons to vote, to rapidly registering two million formerly illegal aliens to vote….any American citizen with a modicum of integrity and/or decency should be appalled and insulted that the democrats would so obviously attempt to rig or steal elections in this country in such a flippant and blatant manner all for the purpose of re-electing the voter fraud prince in the White Mosque. Revolting.
There’s a federal judge somewhere in Pa. that will impose the injunction once the Pa. Supreme Court upholds.
I don’t understand why states wait till presidential election years to get these voter ID programs cranked up. OF COURSE the Democrats are going to fight them with everything in their arsenals – lying ads, bought witnesses from their pools of community activists, professional poor and minority voters to testify they are too poor to get to the county and city offices to register. It’s of no import to the Dems that the SCOTUS ruled 4 years ago that voter ID programs completely constitutional, if not a sacred obligation of the states. All the Dems have to do is obtain an injunction from a sympathetic federal judge who don’t mind being overruled by a higher court. Shrug.
Think vote fraud is bad (and it is here)? Philadelphia’s machine is so much more that mere voter fraud (which doesn’t exist, according to our elected officials). The lengths party machines will go to be block interested citizens from getting on the ballot, thereby giving people a choice rather than an undervote, is incredible; having just experienced this for an Independent running for Congress in the 2nd Congressional District, I couldn’t believe that it was really happening. http://www.politicspa.com/third-party-candidate-decries-fattah-for-ballot-blocking/39631/
It is most difficult, but occasionally we can grasp hard facts, and advance. With the exception of AG Holder, and small minority of liberals, most Americans, from every racial background income bracket and state, believe that voter ID is ethical, objective, and necessary. (Ref: http://washingtonexaminer.com/eric-holders-uphill-battle-huge-public-support-for-voter-id/article/2504969#.UCvTzqDrSSp).
There is a counter argument that the problem, fraudulent voting, is tiny, and that ID requirements will not help; the real problem is confused local laws, incompetent election officials. and stupid voters. (See the The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law ). The US Supreme Court has upheld the concept in principle. Thus the ACLU is battling in state courts, beyond the help of AG Holder.
The established clear fact is that this conflict has absolutely nothing to do with the old southern confederacy. Thus one fundamental requirement of the Voting Act of 1965, as revised, Section Five, that the US DoJ approve such election laws should be a dead letter, on this issue. Clearly, it is not an artificial racist barrier, in the eyes of 8o% of all Americans, and now, a northern state judge. He made history this week.
Perhaps the days of chains and poll tax, in only one area of America, have ended forever. The last remaining bastion of racism, today, appears to lie within the federal branches of Washington D. C. America has racial problems, which stem from cultural dysfunctions, but we fight the wrong demons and are losing, in part because our leaders are filled with hate.
If this law was going to be ineffective the Dems and their partisans wouldn’t be fighting it so hard.
