Conservative Think Tank President Says Voter ID Helps Conservatives Win Elections
Jim DeMint, the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation and former senator from South Carolina, became the latest in a growing list of Republican lawmakers who have admitted the real intention of voter ID laws. In an interview last week, the Tea Party leader asserted that the laws have shifted elections toward conservative candidates because they are blocking Democratic voters.

1. Obvious to everybody except a majority of the Supremes, apparently.

5. Well... yeah. That's the point.
There's a reason NC and TX have put these in place and OR hasn't.

8. Demint and the Heritage Foundation are for voter suppression
Paul Weyrich was one of the first presidents of the Heritage Foundation and he was a leader back in 1981 in pushing for voter suppression
