South Carolina Democrats argue their state's law is just too onerous on minorities and the poor.
"They can't get a photo ID because typically you have to have a birth certificate to get an official state ID. Many people don't have the ability to pay the $35 here," Harpootlian said.
Guess Obama can't vote.
But David Norcross, president of the Republican National Lawyers Association, noted that a photo ID is required to enter any federal building and most office buildings, among other things. "You need it to get welfare, you need it to get on an airplane, take the SAT, buy liquor, buy cigarettes. It's sort of ubiquitous," he said. "And it's crazy to exclude voting from the list of things you need it for."
Maybe we should stop requiring ID for liquor and cigarettes because that's a right that poor people, especially those on welfare, need.
Apparently it discourages poor minorities from taking the SAT too. Neither do we want them flying to other parts of the country, we want their poverty to stay right where it is and keep their stinky, poverty-stricken selves put.
