You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics.

What does this mean? Is the ID requirement no longer needed for this election?
ReplyDeleteScott Armstrong and others have exposed the massive voter fraud foisted on Pa. by the democrats and their friends. Dead people voting, illegals and the mentally ill transported to the polls!
ReplyDeleteIt all adds up and is a scandal that must be reversed.
Thank God for people like Scott Armstrong and Judge Smith.
Wendy Rosen, former Democratic congressional candidate in Maryland's 1st District, voted in both Maryland and Florida in 2006 and 2008.
ReplyDeleteA frigging candidate for public office committed voter fraud.
Please stop with this 'it's not an issue' talk.
If there was evidence of significant voter fraud the State of Pa would have produced it. There wasn't and so they didn't
ReplyDeleteActually the Commonwealth stipulated that there was no evidence of fraud
ReplyDeleteI trust Mr Armstrong. If he says there is a lot of fraud----- then there is a lot of fraud !
ReplyDeleteScott Armstrong's sanity is less than 100%, lol..The court shouldnt have wasted anyone's time and just tossed this garbage law instead of sending it back..Eventually , it will wither on the vine and die..It's amazing to me how Republicans who supposedly are tight as drums when it comes to government spending, have no problem spending millions of taxpayer dollars to pass a law that admittingly is not needed..Maybe Scott Armstrong should pass all this "Evidence to the state since they admitted their was no evidence of in person voting fraud..Go crazy guy!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, as many of the justices on the Supreme Court pointed out, what's the hurry? If they need to waste this money implementing this ridiculous law, then give the state the time to do it right..Or maybe you don't want that, lol?
ReplyDeleteThe law remains in effect. You still have to show proper ID to vote. However, what the Supreme Court did was in essence remand it (the law) back to Commonwealth Court for additional consideration. The Supreme Court gave Commonwealth until October 2nd to further vet the law. Coming down to the wire I would say. With an October 2nd deadline, that does not leave much time for the Supreme Court to decide for this November's election.
ReplyDeletebunch of liberal reactionaries. wouldn't know a good law if it kicked then in the ass
ReplyDelete"What does this mean? Is the ID requirement no longer needed for this election?"
ReplyDeleteIf Judge Simpson concludes that the ID forms being used disenfranchise no voters, the ID law will remain in effect. This one is going to the wire.
Stop the bullcrap. The R's couldn't produce proof that there was any fraud. This is a complete waste of taxpayers dollars and shows the extent that the R's will go too just to make sure dem's can't get to the polls. Maybe they can redistrict the voting districts to make philadelphians vote in Pittsburg. Then they may be able to guarantee a win. Oh by the way......I YOLD YOU SO........
ReplyDeleteThere is no requirement to produce evidence of fraud because it has already been proven in enough cases that it exists. The Supreme Court has ruled on previous cases that fraud therefore does not have to be proven in Voter ID laws.
DeleteThat's why the state stipulated to there being no fraud.
Don't let facts get in the way of your bogus talking points.
"What does this mean? Is the ID requirement no longer needed for this election?"
ReplyDeleteIt means Obama must produce a birth certificate when he applies for a drivers license in Pa.
:0
The "talking point" has to do with the amount of money spent to fix a "problem" of voter fraud that does not exist in PA.
ReplyDeleteWhile the law makes sense and Dems don't have a problem showing an ID there is a ton ways a person can verify they are who they say they are at the polls, but the laws restrictions prevent the person from voting.
Northampton County had to get photo ID that conforms to the law for the residents of Gracedale. They vote in the building and the people that work the polls in most cases are on a first name basis with the voter. Without the ID that meets the standards that Gracedale resident would not have been allowed to vote.
The request for ID is not the problem... It's the requirements for what is acceptable ID that has people wondering the true intent of the law.
Oh and let's not forget the fact a member of the legislative branch of the the state government said the law would help Romney win PA.
GOP
ReplyDeleteWe fix problems that doin't exist, for you.
The Republicans have reached new lows this year. Even this blog is only half-heartedly backing them this year.
ReplyDeleteJudge Simpson just another republican what a joke this law is.
ReplyDeleteFYI………. WHAT DOES THIS COST THE TAX PAYERS OF PA?
ReplyDeleteThe Department of State has sent the attachment along with the below information:
The Department is in the process of sending out a postcard to nearly 6 million households regarding the requirements of the Voter ID Law. The VotesPA number (1-877-VotesPA or 1-877-868-3772) is on the postcard so you should not receive calls regarding the postcard. This will be sent to every household with at least one registered voter.
The postcard is part of the Department’s educational outreach to inform voters about the new Voter ID law and the information is consistent with the information that is contained on the palm cards and other Voter ID materials already distributed by the Department
