How will the push for stricter voter fraud laws impact the election in November?

False. What a joke. It's Republicans who want to deny voters their rights under the Constitution. And they are addressing a problem that doesn't exist. There is no pattern of voter fraud in the U.S. The GOP is un-American and seeks to deny citizens their rights under the Constitution.

I was reading the quick article in the Fairfax paper about the VA law which indicated that there had been no need to provide an ID prior to the new law, which was news to us because everytime we have gone to vote, we have been asked for an ID.

Several years back, my elderly grandmother said that all people had to do at her polling place in MD was say name and address. We were shocked.

Now, do I think it is a widespread issue that needs all kinds of new laws? No.

I'm a liberal who has 2 degrees in gov't, and still don't see why being asked to provide some form of ID is a huge burden for voting. Flame away.

Lower income people often don't have picture ID. It's harder for them to obtain for a variety of reasons including simple logistics of getting to MVA or another authorized place to get an ID card. Everything is harder for low-income people. If you don't live it, it's hard to understand.

Some voters in Texas live 150 miles round trip from a DMV. I can just imagine my 88 year-old mother who no longer drives making this trip . The GOP is un-American.
