The GOP's War On Voting Comes To Washington

Republicans in state legislatures across the country have spent the past year mounting an all-out assault on voting rights, pushing a slew of voter ID and redistricting measures that are widely expected to dilute the power of minority and low-income voters in next November's elections.

Now that effort has come to Capitol Hill, where a congressional committee will vote Thursday on a GOP-backed bill to eviscerate the Election Assistance Commission (EAC)—the last line of defense against fraud and tampering in electronic voting systems around the country.

    I think honest people won't have an issue with producing an ID to be able to vote.There have been example after example of voter fraud and it's about time we at least did the minimum.

    Since when is asking someone to confirm their identity before they vote an "all-out assault on voting rights"?

    I believe minorities have the same access to legal IDs as everybody else, and nobody's legitimate right to vote is in danger at all.

    The voter fraud over the past 2 elections has been rampant,most of it documented to be coming from the liberal camp via front groups like ACORN.

    Voter ID laws are long overdue and only threaten 'dead' people.
