Pennsylvania Democrats use loophole to beat Voter Suppression Law

[azmouse]

I'm proud of my old home state Democrats for being creative.

Quote:...some counties in Pennsylvania adopted an innovative approach to assuring that people do get the ID they need under the law.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Montgomery and Alleghany Counties used a loophole in the law that allows Colleges and Nursing homes to issue voter ID’s to anyone who resides in their counties.

It also appears that other counties are seriously considering adopting the same approach.

Well of course, it is clearly contrary to the intent of a law that was intended to suppress the vote so that Pennsylvania would be delivered to Kaiser Romney. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, who was the original sponsor of the law. The original stated intent was to prevent non-existent voter fraud. But now that the talking point has been discredited, Metcalf adopted Mitt Romney’s disastrous 47% meme to justify his voter suppression law. Metcalf admits that he thinks “you people” in the 47% are probably too lazy to bother getting the ID anyway. Moreover, if you’re one of those “lazy 47%” you don’t deserve the vote anyway.
