The Obama campaign and some of its allies like ACORN has for the most part opposed photo id laws for voting. A few states like Indiana have laws that you need a photo id to vote (if you don't have it, you can still vote provisionally but you have to provide proof of id later). It designed to prevent voter fraud, like double voting or voting for a someone else like a dead person.
But these groups still bellyache about how these laws prevent voters from voting. Never mind that nobody ends up being turned away. They sue the state hoping a judge will throw it out. Indiana's law was upheld by the supreme court.
As you maybe already know, Obama is holding a election night party at Chicago's Grant Park. Grant Park is the large downtown park made famous by the rioting at the Democratic Convention in 1968. However there are many more people that would like to go then there is space. So it was by lottery to get tickets to the area close to the stage. The tickets have your name printed on them and are not transferable.
And guess what! To prevent trading and selling of tickets,
A PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED to enter the park!
The 50 states are evil monsters to want to prevent voter fraud with photo id, but to make things more convenient for the Obama campaign it OK. You have got to love the logic.
Shows what is important to Obama and his supporters.
Typical Democrat, Do as I say, not as I do!
