Good stuff, Brad. Positive for real voting rights.

You have inadvertantly shown what people really think and know vs. what the corporate media filter says people are thinking and what they know.

As long as we have rightwing talking heads spouting false information to the cult, you will have all the republicans do everything they can get away with to stop people from voting. The worst part is the 5 right wingers on supreme court is all for letting it happen. When a largely republican district can vote in 20 minutes and someone in a large democratic district has to stand in line for over 5 to 6 hours should be classified as voter fraud.

The Reddit comment by "royLJelly" in response to the question --- "What's to stop someone from walking into the polling station, saying your somebody else and casting a vote?" --- standing alone, was worthy of note:

As I pointed out in comments on the original piece, Judge McGinley was especially troubled that, under the PA statute, a student Photo ID would not be sufficient if it doesn't contain an expiration date --- this despite the fact that the Commonwealth conceded "the expiration date requirement is completely unrelated to confirming a voter's identity."

The judge suggested that the way the law was "written suggests a legislative disconnect from reality."

The Reddit comment calls to mind a commercial that aired featuring Bob Dole shortly after he lost to Clinton. The lady waiting on him kept saying how excited she was to wait on him, but when Dole sought to pay by check, she said: "Got any ID?"

It appears that, in Utah, Republicans have succeeded in making the absurd a reality.
