    I'm saying this law in Ohio is unneeded and the motive of the law is transparent to anyone who is being objective.

    Or you just heard it that way. I tend to not ascribe any veracity to your claims here. What you characterize as "purposeful disenfranchisement" is adherence to good order and law. I know, those are alien concepts in the liberal world...

    The law is in support of the federal law at the state level. Of course it is necessary. And yes, the law is transparent. It is designed to support the federal law. Nothing else that you've asserted or complained about changes this.

    You statement might hold water if it hadn't been shot down by members of the GOP admitting the motive of these voting laws.

    The only elephant in the room is this imagined one the left uses to spin up the gullible.

    How about discussing that elephant in the room?

    Still waiting on the numbers of when voter fraud will be a concern for you, or what the actual number of "suppressed votes" will come from a voter ID requirement.

    Projection is the lefts best game. No substance, just conjecture. Sorry, but this isn't coming from the democrats, this is the republicans who have never have been linked to any actual racist laws like Jim Crow.

    Not so. All you need to do is vote one every 6 years and, failing, that, re-register.
    Ohio also allows people to cast provisional ballots pending an issue with registration.
    That's it - repeat a lie enough times...

    None of this proves the claims you made. Try again.

    So too will convicted felons, at least those that miss a few elections.
    Like dead people, they will have to re-register, at which point their right to vote will be denied.

    Well, it's clear those on the right don't believe the GOP pushing voting laws to disenfranchise voters isn't the motive here, even though members of the GOP itself admitted as much. If you aren't going to acknowledge what's coming straight from the horse's mouth there is nothing I can possibly do to open your eyes. Keep wallowing in self-righteous indignation. I have never the time nor inclination to discuss this issue with people that refuse to read the writing on the wall. See you around in other threads. I'm done with this one.

    Most professional politicians will do almost anything to win an elections. The differences between RP and DP pols are far more subtle that the parties pretend.

    "African-American voters make up 15 percent of the electorate in Florida. ...
    But questions are now circulating about some of those voters being unfairly
    and illegally influenced - even intimidated - by Democratic campaign
    workers in certain precincts of Miami's Little Haiti. ...
    "I believe there should be an investigation into the Haitian vote," said
    Rev. Phipps St. Hilaire of Christian Churches United. "There were a lot of
    calls here from people who said there were people who intimidated them."
    Phipps said he received at least three dozen complaints from constituents
    that Democratic campaign workers for Al Gore and state assemblyman Philip
    Brutus unfairly and illegally violated the 50-foot rule around some
    precincts in Little Haiti. ..."
    'It's not a matter of whether you had a chance to win the race. But you'd
    like to think that in a democracy, you'd like to hear everyone has an equal
    chance,'" Thompson, the aggrieved candidate, said."
    William LaJeunesse, "Allegations Of Voter Intimidation By Democrats Swirl In Miami," Fox News, 11/10/2000.

    Little Haiti is, for obvious reasons, anti-DP.

    Well in my opinion it is easier than ever to vote right now. How many times have you moved since you were of voting age? Did you ever un-register, or just register at the new place?

    I don't even stand in any lines any more. I go into the township office and request an absentee ballot, give them my ID, they check it our, bring me the ballot, I go into a conference room fill it out seal it and drop it in the box. Township office is open 8-6 Mon-Fri, 8-2 on Sat. No more going to stand in line after work.

    Then feel free to document this claim of yours, cite these who have said what you assert.

    The decision has no relevence to illegal voting. It only pertains to elimination those who don't vote from the voter rolls.

    Here on Florida we get ours through the mail. We haven't had to present any ID for the last three Presidential elections. And this is a Republican run state. All this nonsense about Republicans wanting voter Identification is a total joke.

    It means more than that. Purging the roles of inactive voters means the democrat party hacks can't cast votes for dead voters and people who have moved out of the district.

    The Ohio rules make perfect sense to me. What doesn't make sense is that anyone on the Supreme Court would have a problem with it. It also occurs to me that just like voter ID, Democrats have an identity issue in that they define themselves by accusing Republicans of something or other. But I guess that someone has to be the *****. Might as well call themselves Democrats as opposed to the truth.
