The Vice President said Tuesday that new voter ID laws in Texas, North Carolina and Texas showed evidence of “hatred” and “zealotry”.
Talking at the Naval Observatory for a Black history Month event, Joe Biden said he was frustrated by the Supreme Court ruling that recently struck down part of the law.
“I thought it was done — finally, finally done,” Biden said.The ruling struck down a provision of the law that required certain jurisdictions with a history of voting suppression to clear any changes in their voting laws with the Justice Department. The court said Congress could update the pre-clearance formula, but lawmakers have been unable to agree on new standards.
Some Southern states have moved aggressively in the interim to impose new, tougher voter ID requirements. Supporters of the legislation, including many Republicans, argue the new standards help prevent voter fraud. But civil rights groups and Democrats have blasted the legislation as an attempt to suppress the vote among poor and minority voters, who are less likely to have government-issued photo identification. They also argue that instances of voter fraud are exceedingly rare.
“These guys never go away. Hatred never, never goes away,” Biden said. “The zealotry of those who wish to limit the franchise cannot be smothered by reason.”

Is he really capable of thinking?
hell yes we hate the S.O.B.s that cheat every time voteing more than 1 time or when they are not allowed
“crime is justice and
truth is punishment.
nothing matters anymore;
this whole country’s an eyesore.
“For the people, by the people”,
more like ‘every man for himself’.
just stay quiet in your little town
while we tear this whole country down.
Lock up the innocent and torture the intelligent.
From what my eyes can see
This world is teaching me…
Only cheaters win
And greed is not a sin.
Where are your morals
And what’s the whole truth?
Are people the winners
Or have we conditioned em all to lose?
Then we put laws on marijuana
So we’ll ruin our lives on boose, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals..,”- song 1
“We all need to fight sometimes,
Just how much,
Just how often,
Just what about?
Just figure it out…” song 2

I would agree. Because the actual voter fraud comes to about .00000001% yet the laws would target the impoverished.
NoNoNo
No way!
Absolutely not, he is based on hatred and zealotry to keep his evil boss in the white house. Only id cards would ensure proper and fair elections, proving that the person is who he/she is and that this person cannot vote twice and that dead people are not able to vote, or that people who are illegal aliens are unable to vote. I have to show my photo ID to go to my doctor since January. They have known me for 30 years, but nobody gets into the office without id. It is idiotic to stop people from having to have a photo id. I guess they don’t need to ever go to a doctor.
NOOOOO. NOT ONE BIT
ID YES KEEPS THE DEAD FROM VOTING AND THE REST FROME VOTING 6 TIMES
He is about as smart as Al Gore.
