Voter ID Law
Struck Down.
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - A federal
court has ruled against a Texas law that would require voters to present photo
IDs to election officials before being allowed to cast ballots in November.
--------------------------------------------------------------------My Comment
This Federal
Court’s decision demonstrates the ignorance of our leaders—Judges in this
case.
“…it imposes strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor, and racial
minorities…”
Do these
judges know how the poor and minorities live, to make such statement? The poor and minorities live without banking
accounts and without credit cards.
It is
common knowledge, to open a banking account the citizen needs
an ID. Thus, these judges are assuming that the poor
and minorities do not have IDs. The poor
and the minorities who are too poor to have banking accounts, do their financial
transactions by money orders and money-grams, and Western-Union.
Do these
judges know that to buy a money order or to cash a check, or send or receive
from Western –Union, the client has to presnt an ID. So, poor people have at least one ID. If the ignorant judges mean the poor as being
the homeless, these judges are showing their ignorance there too. For, to stay at a homeless shelter the patron
must provide and ID.
Every body
has an ID. The only people who don’t
need an ID are the people who live 100% off the street—that is a very small
number, even among the homeless. Such
people who live off the street, don’t vote; they are detached from society. So we need leaders—especially judges, to be
people from the lower strata of society, people who know what life is all
about; otherwise, ignorance rules, as in the voting ID situation.
