Ohio Democrats Continue to Oppose Voter ID Verification

Update: 6th Circuit Court of Appeals injects some common sense into the battle against vote fraud by overruling Judge Marbley and reinstating the use of IDs for absentee ballots.

******************

Apparently, Subodh Chandra is going to court where he’ll likely be forced to argue that his clients are too incompetent to understand voter ID. If I was a member of the Service Employees International Union, I’d be pretty miffed at this gratuitous insult.

If you can’t figure out that you need ID, how are you supposed to figure out who to vote for? I think that we can safely rule ‘intelligently’ out of the mix.

Update: Of course, it’s not just Ohio – here’s more from OpinionJournal:

“But there's a reason that Democrat partisans are more interested in raising the specter of Jim Crow than in protecting the integrity of the voting process. And here's a clue: While the Missouri Supreme Court was preparing its decision earlier this month, the Kansas City Star and St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran
front-page stories about the thousands of fraudulent voter registrations submitted by Acorn, a national left-wing group financed in part by organized labor.


According to the Star, Acorn's voter registration drive generated
some 35,000 applications, "but thousands of them appear to be duplicates or contain dubious data." The report went on to note that "[n]ear the top of the fishy list would be a man named Mark who apparently registered seven times over a three-day period using his mother's home address and phone number." Mom told the paper he hadn't lived there in six years. Acorn and its affiliates have been among the most active and vocal opponents of voter ID laws in Missouri and nationwide. Now we know why."
