I’ll bet there isn’t a single judge, regardless of partisan stripe, who like it when people play fancy games with the wording of their rulings
I start out showing my old, non-photo voter ID card. I make them ask me for my photo ID. Then I say, loudly, “Oh, that’s right! I forgot about the poll tax! Luckily, I can afford it.” I then look at the election judges’ faces and am able to tell which ones are Democratic and which ones are republican.
Damnit! Why does voting have to be made so complicated?!
Next gambit from Ashcroft: “OK, we won’t require photo ID. We’ll just demand it. The judge didn’t say we couldn’t demand it.”
There’s nowhere in the Constitution that it says people actually have the right to vote!
+1. This is what Got KKKobach in trouble. He played fast and loose with a federal court’s order.
Ashcroft is not the sharpest tool in a collection of plastic knives, so its also possible that he had a hard time reading the order.
Voted today in early election in Rockport, Texas. ( Where Harvey made landfall.)
Very busy, 27 people ahead of me, by moved quickly.
I hate, hate, HATE that it’s electronic. NO paper trail of ballot. I get a receipt, but nothing to validate it. At least in California I could see my choices on an internal paper tape.
What does the 19th Amendment say? Surely it’s part of the Constitution, and it mentions voting as I recall.
The 19th Amendment and the 15th Amendment do deal with voting. And I was being a little facetious. But neither Amendment says that every citizen has a right to vote that shall not be abridged. They come close, but not quite.
