typical liberal response, if it not happening then should not be a problem making it a law and then the democratic offices can work to get all the LEGAL voters ID's

It was the Democrats who denied minorities their right to vote, not Republicans. Read some history.

You're still wallowing in the past and not the present, huh?

I especially like the way they characterized it as "massive voter fraud" and then said it was 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots.

BTW, not only was the voter fraud committed in the Democratic primary (in 2007 no less) but it was done with absentee ballots, something a voter ID probably wouldn't have caught.

Voter ID – the Republicans' secret weapon

What is more reasonable than asking people to produce an official photo identity when they vote? After all, you must show an ID card to get into many public buildings, let alone to board a plane. So what's wrong with making sure people are who they claim to be when they exercise that most precious civic right of choosing those who govern them?

Alas, in the US the question is rather more complicated. Right now a panel of federal appeal court judges in Washington DC is considering the legality of a Texas law requiring voters to show a photo ID. And their decision could conceivably decide the result of the forthcoming presidential election. Texas is one of eight states that have either introduced or want to introduce photo IDs, and one of 20 that have tightened ID regulations in the past decade or so. Listen to its lawyers, and you'd imagine furtive armies of people turn up at polling booths around the Lone Star state under a string of aliases, ticking the box of candidates that they (or the sinister political fixers paying them) are bent on electing. "Vote early, vote often," as the old saying goes.

Reality is more humdrum. Yes, voting fraud exists here. Take the case of Lessadolla Sowers, an enterprising official of the NAACP civil rights organisation in Mississippi, who was convicted of casting no fewer than 10 illicit votes in the state's Democratic primary in 2007 – six in the name of different living individuals and four on behalf of dead people (a flourish that brings to mind Earl Long's jesting tribute to his corrupt home state of which he was three times governor: "When I die I want to be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.")

The past tells us who the Democrats and liberals are. Republicans are accused of all sorts of evil.........without evidence. Democrats?.........we can point to the evidence. Democrats say "forget what we have done." Now, that would be foolish of us.

Correction, the past tells us who the Democrats and liberals were. It's fascinating how the two parties have switched sides in this since then.

Look out... He's got a "History of 1865" and he's not afraid to use it.

Fla. Republican: We wanted to suppress black votes

In the debate over new laws meant to curb voter fraud in places like Florida, Democrats always charge that Republicans are trying to suppress the vote of liberal voting blocs like blacks and young people, while Republicans just laugh at such ludicrous and offensive accusations. That is, every Republican except for Florida’s former Republican Party chairman Jim Greer, who, scorned by his party and in deep legal trouble, blew the lid off what he claims was a systemic effort to suppress the black vote. In a 630-page deposition recorded over two days in late May, Greer, who is on trial for corruption charges, unloaded a litany of charges against the “whack-a-do, right-wing crazies” in his party, including the effort to suppress the black vote.

In the deposition, released to the press yesterday, Greer mentioned a December 2009 meeting with party officials. “I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting,” he said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. He also said party officials discussed how “minority outreach programs were not fit for the Republican Party,” according to the AP.

So voter fraud isn't a myth after all because Republicans may have done it? Interesting...
