The state Senate rejected a series of Democratic amendments before passing the voter identification bill 26-23, with three Republicans joining the Democrats in opposition. Democrats had tried to add new forms of acceptable identification and postpone the requirement until after the November elections.
Oh? Why did we pass this bill?
“The reason people don’t have confidence is because they think there’s fraud,” [Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele] said. “This would eliminate or dramatically reduce anyone thinking that there are people voting illegally in Pennsylvania.”
So, there’s fraud, is there?
“This is simply a solution in search of a problem,” said Sen. Wayne Fontana, D-Brookline. “It will alienate many of our citizens, including the poor, elderly and minorities.”
But Carol Aichele said there was fraud, didn’t she?
“The reason people don’t have confidence is because they think there’s fraud”
I see. So there is no fraud, but people think there is fraud. So we need to do this so that no one will see people without ID voting, and think there is fraud.
“This bill is a simple, common sense measure to protect the integrity of the voting process, which is the very foundation of our democracy,” Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi said. “It’s important to note that no voter will be turned away from the polls on election day.”
So people will go to the polls, see people asked for ID, which they will not be required to actually provide, and this method will assure everyone that there is no fraud, which we have already agreed is the case.
Gov. Tom Corbett supports requiring voters to show photo identification, and a spokesman for House Republicans said he expects the House to pass the bill in its current form.
Well, at least everyone can get behind this measure that everyone agrees will fail to solve a problem that does not, in any case, exist.

That’s a nice poster and, the President has reason to be proud.
However, I’m guessing “we’re” rethinking this whole Iraq withdrawal thing. As well as every other campaign promise……
As the President indicated in his latest remarks about Health Care reform, “I represent the American People”, and what they
want”.
And, the “American People” wanted to “go get em” after September 11th…. With good reason! But….. here we are…
and I’m speculating, Mr. President, “there in the Middle East we’ll be”, for a long-long-long-long-long time. Perhaps forever! So, let’s not forget those promises of progress
we hailed a mere thirteen 14 moons ago…..
Well here we are 53 weeks later, and it appears thing are igniting again.
What did you mean by the statement about change in Egypt?
That civilization is some 55 centuries old.
Come on… Let's jump in feet first!!!!
Well Mr. President, two moons from Sunday marks the tenth anniversary, of the beginning, of Operation Enduring Freedom. Don't you think it's time we finish the J-O-B the American People started?
Instead of winding things down, perhaps we should hit the reset button, and CRUSH those very same organizations and tribes which have caused us, others, and our allies so much suffering, and continue to cause us to shed tears every day.
NEVER FORGET. LIKE THE BOULEVARD OF ALLIES!!!!!!!!!! LIKE GETTYSBURG and VALLEY FORGE and
thousands of other current or past conflicts or engagements, where the sacrifices by our freedom defenders against tyranny have prevailed in our great nation!!!!!!!!!! DON"T YOU DARE FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS RAMP THIS ANNIVERSARY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
