Justice Dept. Blocks Voter ID Law In S. Carolina

South Carolina’s new law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls was blocked by the U.S. Justice Department, which says it would have a discriminatory impact on minorities.

The Obama administration says the new law burdens "non-white voters."

The Justice Department’s decision, announced in a letter today to South Carolina Assistant Deputy Attorney General C. Havird Jones, is the first time the Obama administration has intervened against any of the eight states that enacted new voter ID laws or tightened existing ones this year.

It said in the story that very little voter fraud has been proven, isn't that tough to prove if the person doesn't have to prove who he is.

It is because Obama wants all the illegals that have no right to vote, to vote for him in the elections.
