An Old Battle Worth Noting

Late yesterday, the federal Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the Virginia law requiring voters present a photo ID at the polls.  This law had been attacked as being an attempt to suppress minority voting, but the court rejected that view, just as the lower court whose ruling was being appealed had previously concluded.  This is just one more court ruling that photo ID requirements are fine.  Since the Supreme Court previously held just that, the ruling is no surprise.

Hopefully, the constant attacks on these laws will end soon.  They are just a waste of time and money.
