Debating voter ID laws

Pennsylvania lawmakers have been debating a measure that would require residents to have a photo ID in order for their vote to count.

  1. The Republican-controlled Senate approved the legislation last week. Gov. Tom Corbett expressed his support this week. And the House of Representatives has been debating it since Monday.

    York County residents have taken sides, too.
  2. RT @papolipundit: I'd have more respect for @PAHouseGOP if they were honest just said they're using #VoterID as politcal tool & power grab.
  3. RT @rdlkid: WW II Navy veteran who's voted in every election for past 61 yrs. wouldn't be able to vote under PA's #VoterID bill
  4. RT @HankMaul: RT @workingamerica: RT @RDLKid: Vote for justice, fairness, constitutionality and vote against #HB934 #voterID
  5. The state House debated the issue for more than six hours. Voters from across Pennsylvania followed along.
  6. Rep. Bud George, D-Clearfield, just argued that old people are scared of voting machines. #VoterID
  7. I guess Amish people will have to pay to vote or not vote in the next election #voterID #pahouse #lancaster
  8. "It isn't a big deal UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU.. voting is a fundamental right" - @DePasqualePA #VoterID #PAhouse
  9. The debate wasn't just happening in Pennsylvania. This week, a Wisconsin judge ruled that a similar law there was unconstitutional, and the U.S. Department of Justice rejected a voter ID measure in Texas.
  10. Funny how Eric Holder can easily trust drug cartels with guns, but not Texas with Voter ID laws. #voterID
