The organization has also teamed up with a number of offshoot organizations, including the Ohio Voter Integrity Project and "Election Integrity Maryland," which have similar aims. But according to The Nation, groups like the AFL-CIO and the Election Protection team, as well as the Justice Department, are dispatching thousands of lawyers, government officials, and civil rights activists to ensure that attempts to bully voters at the polls are curbed.

Amazing that the only people whining about Voter ID are the ones who practice voter fraus, aka, the Democrat Party.

It is crazy that asking for an id now is being consider wrong, if I am pulled over for anything I must show my driver's license, when I vote I must show my id. I am white and have no problem with this. I don't believe people in the united states illegally should be able to vote once they decide to become a legal citizen then they get the right to vote.

so, according to you trying, to prevent voter fraud by seeing an ID is intimidation, but the black panthers standing outside the polls swinging billy clubs is not? How much mental energy do you expend trying to twist reality that much??
