PA's REAL Voter Fraud Problem

The Rebublicans rammed through the voter ID bill while admitting there were unanswered questions and concerns. A prominent PA GOP member even recently announced that fraud, the supposed reason for the bill, was not a concern.


The US does its best, when given the chance, to insure that every elegible citizen of another country is afforded the opportunity to cast a ballot. So why does the GOP make it more difficult here?


House Speaker Turzai gleefully announced the true reason: gaming the system. Are Republicans so afraid of democracy that they feel they must assail its basic tenet?


Shame on the supposed "Grand" Old Party for doing their best to deny democratic basics to a substantial block of citizens. Maybe they should spend more time on decreasing the country's ills and increasing the quality of life instead of rigging the system. Then they could get votes the old fashioned way: earning them.


Civil rights are too important to ignore
