2012 U.S. Presidential Election

See my edit. It's been a long day.

Speaking of Pennsylvania, seems that the voter ID law there is soon to be on its last legs. The Supreme Court sent it back to the lower court for reconsideration, with instructions that they could only uphold it if proof could be found that NO voters would be disenfranchised by it.

Their deadline to find proof is October 2nd.

Btw, NONE of the justices voted to uphold it, not even the three Republicans.

Seems pretty easy to do all they need to do is show how to get a ID.

I assume you have given up attacking Romney over the videos?

There is ample proof that 750,000 voters will be disenfranchised.

And no, not on your life.

Btw, Roy, I don't know if you know this, but even if you apply for a state-issued ID, it takes six weeks to get it.

And that proof is?

And no, not on your life.

Then where are your arguments?

Seeing how the law was passed a while back you would think people would have ample time to get one.

I see no where in that article that it states that 750,000 voters would be disenfranchised.

Read it more closely:

State figures also can be hard to nail down. In Pennsylvania, nearly 760,000 registered voters, or 9.2 percent of the state's 8.2 million voter base, don't own state-issued ID cards, according to an analysis of state records by the Philadelphia Inquirer. State officials, on the other hand, place this number at between 80,000 and 90,000.

Guess I was off by 10,000, if the Philadelphia Inquirer is right.
