Obama Opposes Voter Identification Requirements

President Obama made it clear last week that he is opposed to voter identification. In an interview in Philadelphia Obama denounced voter Identification requirements using these words, "I will say that my big priority is making sure that as many people are participating in our democracy as possible. Some of these moves in some of the other states that we’ve seen try to make it tougher to vote, restricting ballot access, making it hard on seniors, making it hard on young people. I think that’s a big mistake, and I have made sure that our Justice Department is taking a look at what’s being done across the country to ensure that people aren’t being denied access to the franchise." There is no word yet on what President Obama is going to do about citizens being denied the right to travel by air, rent a library book, cash a check, use a credit card, or rent hotel rooms, golf clubs, or a car without proper identification.
