Pennsylvania Voter Suppression law in court

[dellinger63]

Starting next year everyone is required to have health care insurance. Thus everyone will have an id. Let's just make it a pic ID and case closed.

Let's just hope people supplemented w/id's courtesy of others show their thankfulness by giving up their spot in the voting line, not to mention the E.R.

That is too simple a solution to ensure voter integrity. How would some politicians pad their vote with illegal aliens and felons if they implemented this?

Voter integrity is already assured with the current system of Voter ID. Why should some of those currently accepted Voter ID's be disallowed and no longer used?

Do you have any valid reasons for disallowing current Voter ID's?

We know there is little to no voter fraud, as verified by a multiple-year the Bush DOJ.

Talk about voter disenfranchisement/suppression?

The Democratic Party just opened its coat deciding the voters (their voters) are wrong and they know better.

Why not just abolish democratic primaries all together!

Realize this. If you or your religion somehow supports only a man-woman marriage you are part of a hate group. Wake up America and realize who actually is intolerant.

LOL. Oh, Dell, your twisted logic defies ... logic. An anti-gay libertarian ran under the Democratic ticket in the primary. Is that too hard for you to understand? It's not the first time. Of course the organized Democratic party won't support him. Voters are free to do what they want. They might take a few seconds and discover what the candidates they are voting for actually stand for.

The Republican Party supports only man-woman marriage. The Democratic Party is adding a platform plank supporting marriage between any two people who love each other (gay marriage).

Yes, who is intolerant? You think it's the Democratic party? BWAAAHAAAAAAA.

not sure where you're going with that, but yes, a lot of people are intolerant. including religious people. now, if you're a good christian and follow the golden rule-i'm all for it. that's great.
but, if you're using religion as a way to excuse your hate and intolerance...well, i find that reprehensible. and back in the day, religion was used as an argument to keep slavery.

When the government is intolerant towards a religion whether it be because of birth control or supporting on straight marriages we have a problem Houston!

the govt is not supposed to be anything towards any religion. they're supposed to have nothing to do with whatever religion a group might espouse.
and i have problems with people who use their religion as a tool to beat others they don't like over the head (obviously in a figurative sense) or as a way to control public and govt policy. it's not supposed to have anything to do with laws, rights, the constitution, etc. if you don't believe in same sex marriage, don't engage in it. but your not liking it, or condoning it, doesn't mean that others should be banned from it.


and your article above is about the democratic party and someone they don't want as a member of their party-quite different than your claim that 'the govt' is after him.

I'm more worried when Americans, who should know better, as it goes against everything this country stands for, are intolerant of a particular religion - like the hate against Muslims some in this country demonstrate.

The government isn't being intolerant towards the religion, they are being intolerant of that religion forcing their religious views on everyone else. Quite a big difference. I wouldn't conflate them as you do.
