\n

People in the good state of Missouri need photo identification to cash a check, board a plane or apply for food stamps. But the state Supreme Court has ruled that a photo ID requirement to vote is too great a burden on the elderly and the poor. Go figure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nIllegals seem to be able to get plenty of identification at the DMV offices of most states, too.\n<\/p>\n

\n

Public polls consistently show that an overwhelming majority of Americans–regardless of age, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status–favor voter ID laws. And nearly half of the nation’s states have passed them. Yet a string of recent court decisions has blocked their implementation in some places, thus siding with Democrats and liberal special interest groups who would rather turn a blind eye to voter fraud.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThat’s what’s called “good activism.”\n<\/p>\n

Some evil guy named Limbaugh dared to disagree in the 6-1 decision:\n<\/p>\n

\n

In his dissenting opinion, Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. took issue with the fact that the majority opinion actually played down the existence of vote fraud. “Although the majority agrees that there is some evidence of voter fraud at the voter registration stage, they discount that evidence as if it had no connection with fraud at the polling place,” wrote Judge Limbaugh. “But why else does voter registration fraud occur if not to vote persons fraudulently registered?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nIsn’t voting by illegals protected speech?  Next thing you’ll be rendering them extraordinarily you neo-thugs.\n<\/p>\n

\nFortunately, the nuts at ACORN<\/a> are on the job:\n<\/p>\n

\n

But there’s a reason that Democrat partisans are more interested in raising the specter of Jim Crow than in protecting the integrity of the voting process. And here’s a clue: While the Missouri Supreme Court was preparing its decision earlier this month, the Kansas City Star and St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran front-page stories about the thousands of fraudulent voter registrations submitted by Acorn, a national left-wing group financed in part by organized labor.
\n
\nAccording to the Star, Acorn’s voter registration drive generated some 35,000 applications, “but thousands of them appear to be duplicates or contain dubious data.” The report went on to note that “[n]ear the top of the fishy list would be a man named Mark who apparently registered seven times over a three-day period using his mother’s home address and phone number.” Mom told the paper he hadn’t lived there in six years.\n<\/p>\n

\nAcorn and its affiliates have been among the most active and vocal opponents of voter ID laws in Missouri and nationwide. Now we know why.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nOf course, this is the kind of ridiculous fear-mongering that you’d expect from Opinion Journal.  A variety of saner opinions can be found in the sidebar:\n<\/p>\n
