Good thing the Supreme Court has already upheld Indiana's voter ID law -- the Justice Department is serious about challenging states who have more recently adopted the requirements. About the fight in Texas, this observer notes that neither side's claims ring completely true. Fraud surely isn't as big a probelm as Republicans claim, and disenfranchisement on the scale claimed by Democrats is preposterous. And all that aside:
They need to get IDs, and the government should help -- regardless of what happens on Election Day. Like it or not, in 21st century America your face is your fortune.
Could that be common ground for everybody in this dispute? Start a crusade to get IDs for everybody, then the voting controversy will be moot.
