The New Jim Crow

This is gonna be a tough one for a while, I think.  I'm still not convinced Voter ID is anything more than the typical Solution-In-Search-Of-A-Problem.  Especially when Dems benefit more than Repubs when more people vote, and that the GOP is almost always the side pushing for more restrictions on who gets to vote - so there's ample cause for suspicion.

Until somebody can show me real evidence of real Voter Fraud - and not the crap about a few random idiots who're just out to fuck with the system trying to get famous - I have to assume these laws are intended to keep people away from the polls.

(hat tip = Democratic Underground)
