South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley was livid after the Justice Department blocked the state’s voter ID law.

Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez outlined the large number of citizens the legislation would affect in a letter to South Carolina officials, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"According to the state's statistics, there are 81,938 minority citizens who are already registered to vote and who lack DMV-issued identification," Perez wrote, referring to driver’s licenses issued by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles, the most common form of photo ID.

The law requires voters to show poll workers a state-issued driver's license or several other forms of photo identification.

Perez said South Carolina's law didn't satisfy the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlaws discriminatory practices preventing blacks and other minorities from voting.

South Carolina's law was passed by a Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Governor Nikki Haley. The Tea Party darling took to Facebook after the Justice Department's action, saying that President Barack Obama is fighting conservative ideas.

"The President and his bullish administration are fighting us every step of the way," Haley wrote. "It is outrageous, and we plan to look at every possible option to get this clearly political decision overturned so we can protect the integrity of our electoral process and our 10th amendment rights."

South Carolina is one of five states that passed laws this year requiring some form of ID at the polls.

Republicans tend to back the measures, which they say prevent voter fraud. Democrats contend the laws are actually designed to reduce minority votes for their candidates.

The Voting Rights Act requires Justice Department approval of changes to South Carolina's election law because of the state's past failure to protect the voting rights of blacks. It is among nine states that require such approval.

In 1994, the department rejected a Louisiana photo ID law, but later approved it with changes.

This Obama, and Holder want to keep their voter fraud going, because if they were honest they would not be objecting to photo ID's. You see what these crooks did when the radical black panthers threatened, and intimidated white voters. They are racist people, and have a lot of nerve to play the race card themselves. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, and they are wrong. These type of people cannot be honest because it's not in them to be honest.

Eric Holder takes this as racist targeting Black & Hispanic voters. The truth, the Democrats can only win through voter fraud. Voter photo ID is just another obstacle in the way of Democratic voter fraud.

[Anti This Anti That]

Also if you will take a look at that attorney's name Perez, that should tell you why he is involved with this fraud. He wants all the illegals to be casting votes for the Obama regime. It's outright criminal what they are doing, and it appears it will take more than voting to clean that evil up, and out of the peoples government.

A alarming & growing state & national trend being pushed by the DNC, Eric Holder & the Justice Dept...all Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Darth Vader & Adolph Hitler votes will be counted as legit if an address can be verified. This also includes 1,000s of dead people if their tombstones can be found.

Eric Holder & Obama Tzars may issue a new edict...Dead Democrat votes will be counted. Dead Republican votes will be thrown out.

If they cannot afford an ID then DSHS should issue them. They really should being showing ID before med coupons or food stamps just to show that the right person is using them. There is nothing wrong with proving that donald duck is not voting expecially considering that donald duck and dead people have been on the registrations.

One simple solution is a nat'l standardized driver's licence with a photo ID, index finger print on licence or eye scan, hologram & bar codes to prevent duplication & fraud. To apply, three picture IDs, birth certificate, SS card or a passport required or combination of all mentioned.

This may sound racist but oh well. Our national survival is at stake. We got to act & act now.

Very true. It is time to stop with the PC and start realizing that our national survivial IS at stake. Either we do something to stop the voter fraud and get things back to balance or we kiss the ability to have a meaning vote goodbye.

Obama the socialist does not want ids . These illegals he wants to vote . Let's step back back and ask ourselves .... What does illegal mean .

I looooooooove it and supposed christian that quotes the bible and yet is a bigot, a racial one at that.

What does the last name have to do with the price of tea in China?? Not all Latinos are illegal or endorse illegal immigration. You have just insulted, with 1 very stupid and ignorant remark, many US natural born citizens of puerto rican descent many of which are veterans and/or military members. Are you so naive, stupid and ignorant to believe that all Latinos are fraudulent??

I never said all hispanics, or latinos were criminals. I said this Perez was involved in trying to justify that illegals be allowed to run rampant, and not have to provide ID. If this man, or anybody for that matter wants to have special rights for one group, or race over another, then they are the racist, and bigots. It appears this man Perez, Obama, and Holder are the racist. If I have to show ID, so should a hispanic, black, or anybody else. It's obvilous though these people in the whitehouse, and Justice Department are the criminals, and racist. What is it Weapons X, do you think hispanics should have special rights in America?

What about being honest, and having true justice WeaponsX? Sounds like you are in favor of special rights for everybody but the white race to me. I am forced to show ID in almost every thing I do, so everybody else should have to do the same thing. Obama, Perez, Holder, and these other racist bigots are trying to create voter blocks, and they are doing it by fraud, and criminal activity. They really should be in prison, and unless some of these Law Enforement, and Military personel start honoring their oath, and arresting these racist like Obama, Holder, Perez, then America is headed for a civil war, and it's not going to be good for those perpetrating this racist bigot agenda.

I don't think WeaponX was doing anything but pointing out how racist your remark was..Merry Christmas.

You did not say all Hispanics were criminals?? so why did you say : Also if you will take a look at that attorney's name Perez, that should tell you why he is involved with this fraud."?? Last time I read, heard and remember Perez is a hispanic last name, so unless she is married to an hispanic male,and by the way Perez is a man, explain that.

No, like I stated before there are hispanics that are not illegal nor do they endorse illegal immigration, we do not expect special treatment, we want to be treated as equals, I would not have the problem, to present an ID if it was required from everybody equally. But experience has proven that only latinos will be carded even when there are illegal immigrants from other races, look it up its enlightening.

The moment you stated look at that attorney's name Perez, that should tell you why he is involved with this fraud you lumped all us US native born citizens and legal naturalized citizens that happened to have a hispaic last name as "fraudulent", you showed your true colors, I will not change my understanding or statement of who you are, a religious bigoted hypocrite, read up and remember

Matthews 12: 34 "You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."

He was pointing out his racist agenda against me, because I pointed out this hispanic lawyer in the US Justice Department trying to stop ID's being required to vote for hispanics etc? Why would this Hispanic, Obama, Holder, be trying to prevent Hispanics, or anybody else for that matter from showing ID Bamagirl? I can tell you why Bamagirl, it's because they are the racist, and bigots that are trying to create a voter block against white America, and if you cannot see that, then you are blind my friend. I see their racist agenda, and it's them that are the racist, not me. I only want truth, Justice, and what's right. And that agenda is not right, but stinks to high heaven.

[bamagirl]

Anti, I didn't express an opinion on anything other than WeaponX's remark, you do not know what I believe on the whole matter. About the last name remark, it did come off as racist, IMO. I think what you bring to this forum for the most part is the same things I believe, but I just don't care for how you deliver your message for the most part.

These people need to be honest and stop playing the politically correct race card, and be honest in their dealings. Everybody should provide an ID when ask for it. If a police ask for ID, you should provide it regardless of your race. The reason this should be, is to prove if this individual is a wanted criminal. When I am pulled over by a police which only happened once in my life, I had to provide ID, and others I know have had to do the same thing. A cousin of mine was pulled over for speeding one time and did not have ID with them, and was taken to jail until they could produce the ID, so they could verify who they really were. Wake up people, nothing racist or bigoted about requiring hispanics to provide ID. What is good for the goose, should be good for the gander.

It's Christmas time and we are back to same old thing. Can't we even recognize the birth of our saviour? Not even to give 1 day to give thanks and here it is back to name calling, back biting, hating our fellow man not having the common sense to respect a holiday. I thought it would nice to have a few days of peace and yet verbal assaults flying on Christmas day. I did not have the opportunity to spend it with my family and most of you are at home and have the chance to be with family and friends decide to spend the computer. Christmas went right out the window. A very sad situation.

[Anti This Anti That]

Bamagirl let me explain this to you in a simple way. Say the US Justice Department was controlled by an attorney general who was a white man, and one of his white attorneys were trying to stop whites from producing ID's, but required blacks, hispanics, jews, Asians etc, to produce ID's whould that not be racist? This man Perez is a hispanic, and he is trying to prevent hispanics from producing ID's for every purpose, regardless if it's for voting, or whatever, but everybody else regardless of race are required to produce ID. So does this not appear to be racist within itself, and a racist agenda of creating a voter block, and allowing special rights for certain races, and groups? If hispanics are not required to produce ID's because some liberal racist states it is profiling, then If a white, or black are required to produce ID, then is that not profiling? Why not just do away with the use of ID period, and take everyone's word on who they are? Does that sound like a good idea?

Wake up people, nothing racist or bigoted about requiring hispanics tothisntyrant provide ID. What is good for the goose, should be good for the gander.to his advantage

them.

This poster knows what they are talking about And more should think and speak like Them .. Let's be honest without attacking one another this is our country and yes something's are not even but I'd s everyone should have . How is there any control if there is no id. Be real now Obama does not want ids because that will be to his advantage ... Plain and simple.. Illegals will vote for this tyrant if he allows them in and does not prosecute them . Obama and holder gave high powered weapons to criminals and they killed amaricans.... These people have to be held accountable . Let's start by realizing the problem and working together to solve it... They want us to fight amongst one another , it's a smoke screen and that is to their advantage . Can't you all see this manipulating stratagie ... This above poster is smart and is touching on a lot oF truths.... An old marine who misses nothing ......
