Another and surprising viewpoint on voter ID's.
Sam Griffin, Jr. is Editor and Publisher of The (Bainbridge) Post-Searchlight, and solidly in the conservative corner. This week he writes the following:
When NPR’s Juan Williams—even the perpetual liberal apologist Juan Williams—finds the intemperate, vitriolic remarks of Jesse Jackson, Judge Greg Mathis and Atlanta columnist Cynthia Tucker at the Atlanta rally for extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act outrageous and false, it must be bad indeed. But Monday night on the O’Reilly Factor, Williams said of Georgia’s photo ID voter law: “Sounds reasonable, but far left pundits such as Cynthia Tucker, editorial page boss of the Atlanta Constitution, say asking for IDs will disenfranchise some minorities. The truth is this—valid picture IDs will cut down on fraud. Elderly and sick people can easily acquire them, and the whole issue is a fraud. But it serves the purpose of ideologues like Jesse Jackson and Cynthia Tucker, and that's what this is really all about."
Goodness gracious. What’ll happen next?
