Yesterday’s (12/27/11) New York Times editorial took note of Republican efforts to restrict the voting rights of demographic groups that tend to vote for the Democratic Party: Blacks, Hispanics, the poor and the young. In a number of states in which the GOP controls one or both legislative houses, laws are pending or have already been passed that would require voters to present valid state issued ID cards to vote.

After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a strict voter ID law in Indiana 3 years ago, the GOP has taken up the battle cry of “VOTER FRAUD” to enact voter ID requirements throughout the United States with many Republican controlled states considering adding to the ones already enacted before the 2012 election.
