The lead from this AP story says it all:
A judge Tuesday struck down as unconstitutional the latest version of a new Georgia law requiring voters to show photo ID.
State Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford Jr. ruled that the photo ID requirement deprives otherwise qualified voters of the right to cast a ballot and adds a new, unconstitutional condition to voting. – AP
Don’t think it will stop Wisconsin conservatives who also want voters to show photo ID’s though! They’d like nothing better than to disenfranchise voters (most of whom just happen to be Democrats) and have never let overwhelming public and judicial opposition stop them before! (See TABOR and “concealed carry”).
Kudos to Georgia for defending one of our inalienable rights – the right to vote.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
While I aggree with the position the Democrats hold on this issue, I am not convinced that most of the party supports this position because it is right, rather than because it will help them at the polls.
