Disenfranchised Nuns Strike Back

As we wrote earlier, the first victims of the new ruling on Voter ID were elderly nuns in Indiana. This just in, in my emailbox: The nuns of Missouri rap the Supreme Court's knuckles with a great big ruler:

On Thursday, May 8, three Missouri voters who
lack government-issued photo IDs as well as Secretary of State Robin
Carnahan and community leaders will discuss the potential impacts of
legislation currently being pushed through the Missouri General
Assembly. The proposed legislation would make Missouri one of the
toughest states in the country for eligible citizens who want to vote
by requiring voters to present a government-issued photo ID at the
polls. If passed, these changes could be in place by the November
general election and could put the voting rights at risk for up to
240,000 registered Missouri voters.

"This may sound like a good idea at first," stated Sister Sandy
Schwartz of the Franciscan Sisters of Mary regarding voter ID
requirements, "but once you stop to think about who would really be
affected, this is going to keep a lot of our loved ones from being
able to vote." Yesterday in Indiana twelve nuns in their 80s and 90s
were turned away from the polls because they lacked the needed IDs to
vote. Sister Schwartz and others are concerned about the difficulties
the policy change would create for elderly Missouri nuns, as well as
other senior citizens, the poor, and minorities.

1. I'm sick to death of whining senior citizens and I'm a senior citizen.

If they are smart enough vote they can find a way to get an ID.

2. what ID should they have brought?

they don't have drivers licenses, and they DID bring cancelled passports.

What is this, Nazi Germany??
