Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized voter ID laws carried in 31 of the 50 states, creating a possible turning away of voters on Election Day.
“If a state passes a new voting law and meets its burden of showing that the law is not discriminatory, we will follow the law and will approve that change,” Holder said in a speech according to NPR. “When a jurisdiction fails to meet its burden in proving that a voting change will not have a racially discriminatory effect, we will object, as we have in 15 different cases.”
What do you think about these laws? How do you think they will effect the election?
