James O'Keefe strikes again! Except he doesn't. Here's the video of O'Keefe's latest escapade, attempting to demonstrate the urgent need for Voter ID.
I'll certainly agree with the basic premise that we have to look after the integrity of our elections process - no argument there. But this Voter ID thing is a solution in search of a problem. And while we're at it, how come the "party of personal responsibility and small government" is being so adamant about getting Big Gubmint to step in on this one? Can you say "Nanny State", bitches?
Anyway, Ryan Reilly at TPM has the breakdown. (hat tip = Balloon Juice)
“Who in their right mind would risk a felony conviction for this? And who would be able to do this in large enough numbers to (1) affect the outcome of the election and (2) remain undetected?” Hasen wrote.That quote hits it smack on the head for me. Again - Voter ID (eg) is not about what they tell us it's about. So what is it?
