that would seem verfiable

"President Obama lost “every one” of the states with photo identification requirements for voting"


Lets first see what states have Photo ID laws as of 2012

then we can see what states Obama won..




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012

States with Photo ID laws that obama won include:

Florida
Minnesota
Hawaii
and New Hampshire

On edit-Oh sorry Obama also won Pennsylvania, one of the "strict Photo requirement" states.

IF we include those states with some kind of ID law, the number just gets higher. The states with strict voter id laws were never likely to vote for Obama anyway.

So is it me or is this not even a good lie since it's so easily debunked?
