Holder decries states’ efforts to restrict ease of voting

In his bluntest comments to date, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that voting rights, particularly for minorities, are under assault in some states.

Speaking at a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday event in Columbia, Holder said some states had sued to challenge provisions of the Voting Rights Act and had approved new laws that would make it difficult for some minorities to register and vote this year, five decades after King and other civil rights leaders fought for access to the ballot box.

“Each of these lawsuits claims that we’ve attained a new era of electoral equality, that America in 2012 has moved beyond the challenges of 1965 … ,” Holder told hundreds who gathered outside the domed Capitol. “I wish that were the case. But the reality is that — in jurisdictions across the country — both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common.”

Holder wants to be sure all the dead, the convicts and non-citizens can vote. No one should mind needing to verify who they say they are. You must do it to fly, whenever a policeman stops you, and many other things such as to gain entry to a courthouse, etc. I guess all those occasions must be discriminatory as well.

Holder is a moron, now he's clearly just proving it.

The efforts are in place to insure that the people who should not have the right to vote don't.

How many actual American citizens have no form of ID?? very few, if any, given the circumstances of our society where you have to show ID at the bank, library, hospital, to buy cigarettes or alcohol,,,(and we know many low income are gonna have their tobacco and beer/wine!!),,,so this arguement not to show ID in order to cast a ballot falls extremely flat, and is nothing more than this administration doing it's dead level best to ram UN Agenda 21 down our throats and force us to become a communist country,,, NDAA/Expatriation Act,,, FEMA camps in each state,,, 35 jihad training camps already in the US,,,,, lock and load!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting, I believe in March, 2012, all SS checks will have to have a bank account for auto deposits. Don't know about other government checks. But having recently opened a bank account to manage my adult daughter's SS Disability money, I know that 2 kinds of ID were required for me. Is that discriminatory? lol
Holder should be impeached for fast and furious. This idiot is already playing the race card for Obama.

BS. The only people anyone wants to limit are those that do not have a right to vote or vote illegally. Requiring adequate id is required to drive but I don't hear holder calling that descriminatory, at least not yet.
Well then holder, declare driver's licenses discriminatory along with student ID's and job security entrance ID's, all law enforcement ID's etc. etc. etc. Then pack up your worthless butt and start heading toward leavenworth where you most deffinintely are headed anyway.

Why is anyone even listening to this fake jerk. Why isn't he out on his butt by now ? ? Could be he has a sly hand in his destony too . . .
Holder's comments are an insult to minorities. Just think about it, he's saying they're too dumb to show a valid ID.

How many significant things can you list that require a valid ID? How would a person who can't show an ID get through life at all, let alone be qualified to vote?

Voter fraud is real, easy to do, and rampant throughout the US. Holder is a traitor to the US and should be dealt with accordingly.

Whi is it the Democrats always stand behind illegal voting? Any good American wants only eligible voters to vote. Milwaukee is the cesspool of criminal voting activity, fostered by the Democrats...That should be enough to tell you who should be running this country....
Holder the Gun Runner should be in Jail his BS is as bad as BARRY
Is Holder still employed? Wow what a country it turned out to be.
Holder is a CRIMINAL, and needs to be removed from his OBAMA appointed office..in handcuffs, and put into PRISON and throw away the key.!! AND OBAMA , SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM HIS ILLEGALLY HELD OFFICE, HANDCUFFED AND HUNG AS ALL TRAITORS HAVE BEEN.!!.

As Thomas Jefferson said,
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

Hear ye, Hear ye, Hear ye.
To use the quote “ Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country”, State, City and neighborhood should be added. In order to form a more perfect Union we must band together to hold our beloved Constitution safe from all enemies foreign and domestic.
Will you help, will you stand and will you share?
The fight will be huge. The cost will be great. The rewards will be freedom.
We need a State-by-State league joined at the hips to protect the US Constitution. I propose this be the start of The Arizona League.
I’m open for input and or information.

Respond, as you will.
