1. I really, really hope they're right!

But, I can't help thinking that the Repubs still have something up their sleeves.

we've got to make lemonade!

3. I'm ready to vote!

The name on my driver's license and voter registration card now match. As long as the voting machine isn't messed with and altered I'll be at least one vote for the Prez!

4. Thanks for that I had to respond to comments on the article

It never ceases to amaze me the blinders some people wear in their view of the world. Although the ID might be free it takes time to perform the function. If you have to take time off work to do it that's a cost. If you need to obtain the supporting documents to prove who you are, that's another cost. What if the supporting documents no longer exist? Considering the absolutely infinitesimal documented occurrences and the high criminal penalties, why would you force 10% of the population to jump through hoops to exercise their constitutional rights?
Simply put, the logic behind the argument for voter ID is not valid and any thinking, reasoning person understands that without considerable thought.

5. Here's a good comeback to use against photo ID backers

Sen. Vincent Hughes, who holds a seat based in west Philadelphia, said his constituents were "very angry" over the new law. He described an African-American congregation in his district where on a recent Sunday, the pastor made congregants show an ID before entering church to dramatize the law's practical effects.

Do you need an ID to attend church? I don't think so.
