Attorney Genersl Eric Holder is claiming that Republican governors and legislatures that are pressing for voter identification laws are engaged in “vote suppression.” This is arrant nonsense. I cannot enter a Federal building without being checked for an ID. It is simply a fact of 21st-century life that people are expected to have identification cards. Anybody who does not, and will not get one, is probably here illegally. Or, in the case of an intending voter, he is not who he claims to be.
Somebody (in fact, a white person who looked not the least bit like Attorney General Holder!) in the District of Columbia, which does not check voter identification (surprise? Of course the most liberal jurisdiction in the country wouldn't!) recently asked whether there was a ballot for Eric Holder in the precinct where Holder's home is, and was given the ballot — he wasn't even saying he was Eric Holder!
Of course, Chicago, where President Barack Obama had his political upbringing, is famous for allowing ballots in the name of dead people, and if illegal aliens are given ballots, they are likely to cast them for Democrats, so it has been argued that proving that an intended voter is really entitled to vote is going to favor Republicans. But the point is that these people who are being denied the vote are not entitled to. Attorney General Holder's job is all about enforcing the laws. But, just as in the case of President Obama's actions on the DREAM Act, this administration will ignore the Constitution or the duly enacted laws of our States and Federal Government when it helps the Administration's political agenda.
