Is Obama scared? Racist?

Obama must be more concerned about losing in November than we thought. His so called 'justice department' has blocked a law that would require a person to prove that they were legal to vote in that district.

They cite the "fact" that 'hispanics' we twice as likely not to have valid state ID's. Could it be that 'hispanics' are twice as likely to be in that district/state, this Nation, without legal status?

They also cite the "fact" that it is 'targeting' university students.. IF they have legal resident status in that district they can vote there. IF not, they have to vote in the place that they do. They are not 'entitled' to vote where they chose.

This is all about Obama's 'racist' idea that 'white's' are out to block every one else from voting. It is all about his 'fear' that he may lose in November and then could not be able to continue his assault on the Constitution.

Of course, THIS type of voter intimidation is just OKEE DOKEE in the eyes of the Obama "Injustice Department"

[h=1]Obama administration blocks Texas voter ID law[/h]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Monday blocked a new law in Texas requiring voters to show photo identification before they can cast a ballot, citing a concern that it could harm Hispanic voters who lacked such documents.


The law, which was approved in May 2011, required voters to show government-issued photo identification, such as a driver's license, military identification card, birth certificate with a photo, current U.S. passport, or concealed handgun permit.


The Justice Department said that data from Texas showed that almost 11 percent of Hispanic voters, or more than 300,000, did not have a driver's license or state-issued identification card, and that plans to mitigate those concerns were incomplete.


"Hispanic registered voters are more than twice as likely as non-Hispanic registered voters to lack such identification," Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, head of the department's civil rights division, said in a letter outlining the objection to the Texas director of elections.


Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry criticized the decision, saying he was obligated to ensure the integrity of elections.


"The DOJ has no valid reason for rejecting this important law, which requires nothing more extensive than the type of photo identification necessary to receive a library card or board an airplane," he said in a statement.


It was the second state voter identification law blocked by the Obama administration, which earlier prevented a strict new law in South Carolina from taking effect. South Carolina then sued in federal court seeking approval of its law.


Under the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act, certain states like Texas must seek approval from the Justice Department or the federal courts for changes made to state voting laws and boundaries for voting districts.


The Obama administration has already challenged the state's attempt to re-draw congressional districts and that fight is before the courts. Texas in January also sued to get approval for its voter identification law.


Several Republican-governed states, including Texas, Kansas and Wisconsin, have adopted stricter new voter identification laws, arguing they were needed to prevent ballot box fraud. A judge in Wisconsin on Monday issued an injunction against that state's law.


Some civil rights groups have said the new laws threatened to suppress minority voters. Democrats have also said they were aimed at squeezing out university students from the polling booths and seniors who tended to vote for Democrats.


"Photo identification requirements for voters drastically affect the electoral participation of the poor, the elderly, and the transient, which means those who need their government's ear most will be the last to be heard," said Representative Trey Martinez Fischer, a Texas state Democratic lawmaker.


The Justice Department said that potential voters in Texas would require two other identification documents to get a certificate allowing them to vote, which could lead to them paying high fees for copies of legal documents such as birth certificates.


Additionally, nearly one-third of the counties in the state do not have offices where potential voters can obtain a driver's license or state identification card and some residents live more than 100 miles away, the Justice Department said.


Efforts to educate voters about the new identification requirements were also incomplete and the state did not submit evidence of voter impersonation not already addressed under existing state laws, the administration said.


"The state has failed to demonstrate why it could not meet its stated goals of ensuring electoral integrity and deterring ineligible voters from voting in a manner that would have voided this retrogressive effect," Perez said.



Republicans said that the Obama administration's decision to oppose Texas' voter identification law smacked of politics ahead of the 2012 congressional and presidential elections.



"Today's decision reeks of politics and appears to be an effort by the Department of Justice to carry water for the President's reelection campaign," said U.S. Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican.


The Texas lawsuit for approval of the voter identification law is: State of Texas v. Holder in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 12-cv-128.

Here's a thought. Get their donkeys in the car or on the bus or on the bicycle or into their comfortable shoes and go get the ID card!!! It's not like they have to go every day. This liberal bs about it being a hardship is baloney.

Liberals are against proper identification. It eliminates a portion of their voting base. They care NOTHING about voting rights, only about getting as many illegal and improper votes as possible. They know virtually every illegal vote goes to Obama and his ilk.

EVERY time I vote I have to show a picture ID. That ID is my STATE drivers license. There are other FREE forms of STATE ID available.

Easy solution. Just put a booth at the places they would be voting and have them apply there. I believe that is what TN did and Holder isn't filing a lawsuit against them. If it is inconvenient, then so is the voting location and they won't vote anyways.

Can't imagine why they would need those two clowns standing at the polling booth, after all didn't Imam Holder let it be known that there wasn't any kind of intimidation at Philly's voting centers when he "Refused" to go after the new black panthers? This administration is a complete failure and all a big joke :mad:

I guess, I don't see the NEED for ANOTHER place to get a valid STATE ID. In Michigan there are multiple ways to do so already. We already pay taxes to have those available.

I have no problem making time, every 4 years, to insure my license is valid. NO one is THAT busy that they cannot provide an hour ever 4 years to insure that they are LEGAL to vote.

IF they can't, they should not be voting anyway. WHY? They PROVED that they just don't care.

Ask yourself..

Can you cash a check with out ID?
Can you buy a car with out ID?
Can you get welfare with out ID?
Can you get a job with out ID?
Can you open a bank account with out ID?

No?

Then why should you be allowed to vote with out ID?

The only problem I see with requiring ID is Democrat friendly states allowing ANYONE to get a state issued ID with out any sort of proof of who they are or where they are from.

My point exactly

Blocking this bill is only aimed at insuring illegal voting. It is also quite racist. Proof? The so called 'hispanic' problems. A 'block' aimed at keeping the voting process 'fair' would not even mention a person's national origin or special interest status. It would be aimed at protecting the entire population, not one ethnic group or a special interest group like, college students.

The intent is to rig the vote. LOL! Only an Obama bum would believe different, or go along with it. Texas should just tell Holder to 'stick it'.

They don't buy the beer, they steal it! :p

There is NOTHING wrong with telling some one to 'get's their butts in gear' and act responsible.

There is nothing 'racist' about using the word 'donkey' in place of 'butt', 'tush' or other word for the part of the anatomy on which one sits.

IF a person is too lazy and disinterested about voting to get a proper, legal STATE ID then it's their own dang gum fault.

That fact is, that they are TOO LAZY to get legal, OR, likely not legal to vote in that State. No other VALID excuse for it.

Because those things you listed above aren't Constitutional rights, voting is.
