A campaign to squash states’ voter ID laws fell flat against the facts in Virginia. That’s where a federal judge upheld the Old Dominion’s law requiring voters to show identification at the polls.
The Virginia Democratic Party argued that the state’s requirement “unconstitutionally” suppressed voting by blacks, Latinos and young people. U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson didn’t buy it.
“Virginia has provided all of its citizens with an equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process,” Judge Hudson wrote.
The Virginia challenge is part of a much broader campaign to turn back voter integrity and to pry open the door to fraud. The campaign is being financed in part by leftistGeorge Soros, who has vowed at least $5 million in funding, The Washington Free Beacon reports.
But as prior cases demonstrate, simply demonizing voter-ID laws — which have increased voters’ participation in some states –is a fool’s argument.
In Ohio, the Democratic Party had to find a different front group after a lawsuit filed on behalf of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative hit a snag. That group came under investigation for fraudulent voter registrations, The Beacon reported.
Voter fraud is a fact. Disenfranchisement via voter IDs is not. But that hasn’t turned back liberals’ courtroom antics to help schemers vote — and to presumably vote often — in this year’s presidential election.

All of Congress needs to show the USA citizens that they are TRUE Americans and pass proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Along with showing of voter photo IDs before voting. This needs to be done now. If a Senator or Congressman will not vote for this, they need to explain why with a valid reason , not the propaganda that most put forth.
One incident of voter fraud is TOO much!! Eliminate all voter fraud.
Why is it that it is always the Democrats that want to screw with voting laws? They were the party of the Original voter discrimination- the poll tax, and the voter had to PROVE that they had paid their poll tax to vote. The white cracker who was almost as poor as the black man didn’t have to prove that his tax was paid…….. Today the Democratic party, after completing their program of economic dependency for the black people, want to make sure that they can increase their numbers by preventing the exclusion of non citizens and non registered voters. When this isn’t enough, they register and vote the graves registration list of the local cemeteries,ala LBJ in Texas and fake poll tax receipts……..
That;s cause the democrats have become the party of corruption and do what we can to keep our power..
Liberals DO NOT get to FUNdeMENTALLY redefine what is illegal or illegal, what is criminal or non-criminal. Where is ANY minority or race mentioned in the words “illegal” or even “undocumented”. The fact of the matter is that civil rights requires CIVIL behavior which is not civil when your neighbor breaks into your property bringing nothing other than an appetite and eats you out of house and home. Yes there are illegals and criminals of ALL races but just when did America cease to discriminate between lawful and unlawful, good behavioir and evil behavioir and allow the evil to hide within the ranks of the good to perpetrate their evil ways,,,it happened when the unlawful criminals took over the Democrat party and became its rulers, that’s when. Case closed.
Paying taxes is a burden.
Voting is a burden.
Learning a new language is a burden.
