Unbelievable
Well, not really unbelievable. Not much Howard Dean says is surprising any more. However, as reported over at National Review's Sixers, here is what Dean had to say about my state's new voter ID law:
To: National Desk Contact: Damien LaVera of the DNC Press Office, 202-863-8148 WASHINGTON, May 2 /U.S. Newswire/ — Voters across Indiana headed to the polls today for the first time since the state's voter I.D. law took effect. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:
"Indiana voters today became the first in the country to head to the polls and confront Republican efforts to use unfair voter identification laws to keep legitimate voters from casting their ballots. I applaud Hoosiers who headed to the polls today in the face of an unfair law that disproportionately prevents poor, minority, elderly, rural, disabled and student voters from being able to exercise their most fundamental right as Americans-the right to vote.
"I also strongly encourage anyone who faced difficulties in casting their ballots to call 1-888-DEM-VOTE to report any problems. We simply must stand up to the Republican effort to keep people from voting. I applaud the Indiana Democratic Party's ongoing efforts to overturn this unfair law and for fighting to make it easier, not harder for Americans to vote."
Man, the Democrats can't stand it when you make it hard for them to cheat, can they? This is the party who keeps talking about voter reform. Apparently they think poor, minority, etc. etc. people are just too stupid to get an ID. Amazing how little they think of their base, isn't it?
