South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Dick Harpootlian, released the following statement responding to the Federal Court upholding the South Carolina Voter ID law:
I am disappointed in the court’s decision to uphold South Carolina’s Voter ID law. The South Carolina Democratic Party strongly disagrees with the court’s opinion and is hopeful that the United States Supreme Court will resolve the differences between various Voter ID cases around the country.
Fortunately, this decision does not go into affect until after the 2012 election so no photo ID is necessary for the November 6 general election.
It’s time for this state to find solutions to real problems. Republicans Nikki Haley, John Courson, and Joan Brady have spent millions in taxpayer funds on this cure in search of a disease. Voters will have an opportunity this November to voice their disapproval and defeat Courson and Brady.

I call BULLSHIT!
Of all the places you have to show ID for various things…it is abolutely crazy to think that you shouldn’t have to show an ID to vote. I am appalled by how many people for whatever reason do not have an ID. And cut the bull crap, there is no financial reason a person does not have a picture ID. An ID from the DMV costs $5. There is no reason that anyone who intends to make it to the polls somehow could not afford that. If you want to vote bad enough, you will do what it takes to vote (legally). People can say what they want about a problem with people impersonating others to vote and whether or not they think it is a problem. To me, if one person votes illegaly, then that is one person too many. If this law prevents anyone from doing that, it is a good thing. Not to mention, the law allows you to sign an affadavit attesting to who you are if you do not have an ID (which is why it passed), so there really is no excuse. We know how Sic loves affadavits!
I don’t like the idea of id’s
