You know, I'd love for conservatives to just answer one simple question: if voter fraud is so rampant, and Democrats are cheating themselves into office, then how in the world did the Republicans manage to take control of the legislature and the governor's mansion? Their claims have been debunked by reality itself, yet still we hear this BS!
As I recall, Republicans ran on this issue in both 2010 and 2012 - the public wants Voter ID - heck, most folks thought/think an ID is required to vote prior to this law being passed.
Are you planning on showing your ID to enroll in Obama Care?
Is this "BS" you speak of similar to the "phony scandals" our President refers to?

Nice job trying to distract, Anonymous. I didn't say a thing about Obamacare or any of your "scandals." The fact remains: if there's so much voter fraud, then how do Republicans keep getting elected? It's a non-issue. I have a photo ID, so it won't affect me. How does eliminating straight-party voting or refusing to pre-register 17-year-olds relate to photo ID? Most of the things in the "Voter ID" bill had nothing to do with voter ID and everything to do with making it more difficult to vote.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
