Supreme Court: Right On Voter ID, Wrong In Timing

On Monday, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 in favor to allow states to require voters to present proper identification at the voting polls. With Justices Clarence Thomas, Scalia, Alito, Kennedy, Stevens and Chief Justice Roberts voting with the majority, the fallout of the this decision lends furtherance to the American divide. While it is a novel gesture to try and legitimize our elections, the timing of this decision is democratically genocidal and highly speculative. Is it coincidental that Indiana, a state that the Republican presidential candidate has won for at least the last 48 years, so happens to be the test case that will surely effect this years presidential election? Was it the left winged ACLU's undoing to push it to the Supreme Court? Maybe. However, while this may lend credence to our election system, its unintended effect will not only shun democratic voters in GOP states like Texas, Indiana or Kansas, but also Liberal, oops I mean Progressives in states like California, New York and in swing states Florida and Georgia. How so? While voters are faced with a global recession and a housing market in its highest foreclosure rate in history, gas prices at an all time high and the downtrodden are living paycheck to paycheck, if possessing a meager voter's registration card and another form of valid identification at the polls was a requirement to vote, would the majority still vote? I say yes...
