Stop the Voter ID laws

Overturn unconstitutional voter ID laws before the 2012 election.

Why is this important?

This is about the constitutional right to vote for every citizen. The results of a close election can be tampered with by preventing people from voting. Key battleground states (Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania) with a large number of electoral votes are requiring voters to bring a photo ID to the polls. This is a REPUBLICAN, not a Democratic Party effort. They have already been successful in making this the law in these states, effectively disenfranchising certain groups of voters (minority poor, elderly, students) who could be crucial for President Obama to win a second term. This is the intent behind the laws, which purport to prevent voter fraud. There have been practically no instances of voter fraud, so this is a blatant attempt to tamper with the vote, which is illegal, undemocratic and un-American. Republicans should consider the implications if it were a Republican candidate up for election and Democrats were tampering with a free and fair election.
