The following is one of several reactions reported by examiner.com to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold Indiana's voting law requiring ID.
This is what was reported by the Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and DNC Voting Rights Institute Chair Donna Brazile: "Today's decision by the Supreme Court is deeply disappointing and not justified by the facts. It is an affront to our nation's ideal that all people, regardless of their background or beliefs, have the right to vote and have that vote counted. This case has never been about securing the right to vote. Instead, it has confirmed the lengths Republicans will go to in their attempts to limit voting rights in order to win elections. This decision runs counter to the principles on which our great nation was founded, and we will not let them get away with it."
The question that comes to my mind is: Does requiring an ID limit "all people, regardless of their background or beliefs," the use of our banking system? Or buying Sudifed for their head cold? I won't "even go there" about the accusations on the lengths the Republicans will do to win elections.
