I don't have a problem unless they are trying to get immigrants to vote. IF you need a license to drive then it should be required to vote.
Common sense..

Writing for the majority, Justine John Paul Stevens asserted that the state had a “valid interest” in preventing voter fraud and that, “on the basis of the record that has been made in this litigation, we cannot conclude that the statute imposes ‘excessively burdensome requirements’ on any class of voters.”

None is asking for anything overly burdensome, just show ur ID. Thats it.
The problem w/ making registration automatic is you have visas and illegals with licenses.

Democrats also decried the majority’s conclusion. “The court’s decision today places obstacles to the fundamental rights of American citizens — especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities — to participate in the electoral process,” said the speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.

Why? Every person who lives in society has to have SOME kind of ID. That is ludicrous it disenfranchises the poor? I agree that people should be told ahead of time, but gimme a break you don't drive to the polling place w/ a license. People who are THAT poor generally don't vote anyways so the rationale behind this is just a bunch of crap.
