Republicans moves from a State Voted ID bill to local ID bills, WTF!!!

Via the Progressive Pulse,

The latest rumor making the rounds of the Legislative Building and the Tweetosphere is that Republicans are considering the certifiably treacherous step of passing a series of “local bills” to enact mandatory photo ID for voting on a county-by-county basis.

The Governor cannot veto “local bills” — which are supposed to deal with truly local matters and are certainly not supposed to be used as a subterfuge to avoid constitutional requirements for passing statewide legislation. The R’s already employed this trick to evade the Guv’s veto of legislation that would have limited access to federal student loans for community college students.

“This is clearly an ideological crusade now, not a legislative session.” said Chris Fitzsimon.

One would have to wonder if McCain had won and became the President, would these Voter ID bills ever been filed in so many state? Are these bill in response to that fact the so many new voters for the first time, came out and  voted for a African-American, that won the Presidency of the US. Since almost every Voter ID bill have been written and filed and co-sponsors by members of the GOP and The local crazy Tea-baggers..

So GOP in the NCGA couldn’t override Bev Perdue Veto of the bill, so they decide to make over 100 local voter id bills, which they knew Governor Perdue can’t do anything about. Talking about a bunch of sore-ass losers in the NCGA..
