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.”

BASED ON FACT YOU IDIOT
No they are for truth and honesty. That is why Blow Joe does not want them.
If Biden was a “common” non politically associated, he would be asked for his ID anywhere else he went in the world too.
Joe can go suck an egg…
He wants you to vote more
Sticking his foot in his mouth again.
then how come the NAACP required ID to attend their meeting?
the only reason democrats want no voter id is where their voters and dead people can vote . in philly in one district Romney got no votes they all went to ovomit . even in Iraq under the threat of death from so damn insane has anyone ever got all the votes . in Florida one district had only somewhere around 100,000 voters registered, but over 200,000 voted . so tell me again why we dont need voter id
IDIOT!!!!
