Court Challenge to Indiana Anti-Fraud Bill

In what has to be one of the most bizarre decisions that the Democratic Party ever made, the Indiana Democratic Party has filed a legal challenge to an anti-fraud bill that's been signed into law.
A federal court has upheld an Indiana law requiring people to show a government-issued photo ID before voting, much to the disappointment of the Democratic Party, which says many of its constituents, minorities, the poor, the elderly and the disabled, will be adversely affected.
Obviously, the court saw things quite differently than did the Indiana State Democratic Party. I'd love hearing what the Democrats used as evidence that "minorities, the poor, the elderly and the disabled" would "be adversely affected." I'd have to think that that's what this case turned on. At this point, it's purely speculation. The 9th Circus is the only court in the land that would overturn the law on speculation.
"Indiana's voter ID law, widely regarded as one of the most restrictive in America, creates unfair obstacles that will prevent citizens who are lawfully eligible to vote from casting their ballots," said DNC Chairman Howard Dean in a statement issued on Monday. "I applaud the Indiana Democratic Party's decision to appeal this ruling," Dean said. "As part of our Party's commitment to doing whatever we can to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to participate in our democracy, the DNC will assist the Indiana Democratic Party's legal challenge to this unfair law and continue our fight to make it easier for all Americans to exercise their right to vote."
The Democratic Party is fast becoming the Voter Fraud Party. They've challenged every piece of legislation that's tried cleaning up the rampant voter fraud that's disenfranchising the average voter. I don't think it's too big a thing to ask that people voting are legal voters. Having a picture ID is the safest way of guaranteeing that.

By appealing this legislation and the Georgia bill, the Democratic Party is opening itself up to condoning voter fraud. If this were a poll question, I'd bet that 80+ percent would agree with it. That's why I'd love seeing this become something for GOP candidates to campaign on this fall. It's an issue that they couldn't lose on because they're on the side of the angels with this.

The post that caught my attention dealt with last weekend's interview of Justin and Darryl Sharraltt on Hannity's America. To say that their post didn't attempt to refute Justin's story is understatement. In fact, they jump right into criticizing Mr. Hannity: Last night's (October 27th) Hannity's America was a strange magazine format which combined stories about mediums and haunted houses
