The Department of Justice has announced that it has rejected South Carolina&#8217;s voter identification law.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Department of Motor Vehicles executive director Kevin Shwedo said the state Election Commission knew it was using inaccurate data when it released reports showing nearly 240,000 active and inactive voters lacked driver\u2019s licenses or ID cards.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Shwedo sent the state\u2019s attorney general an analysis showing that 207,000 of those voters live in other states, allowed their ID cards to expire, probably have licenses with names that didn\u2019t match voter records or were dead. He said the commission created \u201cartificially high numbers to excite the masses.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the motor-voter law was passed, it required states to periodically examine their voting lists to eliminate people who had died or moved from the state. Unfortunately, in many states, that portion of the law has not been enforced. That is one of many reasons why voter identification is needed in all elections.<\/p>\n<p>Voter identification requirements are not about denying people the right to vote&#8211;the are about ensuring that every man&#8217;s vote counts equally. When voter fraud is allowed to flourish, all Americans should be concerned.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=fbb8af6a-68cf-43cd-a5c6-c1447bd8c471\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Hinderaker at Power LIne\u00a0posted a story today about recent activities by the Obama Justice Department that will make voter fraud more difficult to prevent.
