Pennsylvania's new voter ID law. One of the stronger pieces of evidence
for the plaintiffs was House Majority Leader Mike Turzai's on-camera admission that
the law would "allow Gov. Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania." The
most damaging thing Yelton says in this tape isn't the line about "lazy
blacks," but the line about how the law will be de facto bad for
Democrats.
The new voter Id laws in Texas
Every Republican? *snort* But a sizable minority and the leadership at the state and possibly the national level? We are talking a North Carolina precinct GOP chairman, the Pennsylvania House Legislature Majority Leader and the GOP leadership in Texas. 2 out of the 3 baldly admitted on camera the reason why these laws went into effect. the GOP in Texas hasn't said publicly why they want these restrictions, but if it's the old saw about voter fraud (widespread or otherwise), I'd give even odds that even they don't believe that.
If
moronicity is a disease, I'd say that the North Carolina precinct chairman and the Pennsylvania House Legislature Majority has a full blown case of it. Now, does the rest of GOP leadership have it and to what degree?
I didn't even know there was a word that defines "the state of being a moron". I had to look it up.
