then we can see what states Obama won..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012
States with Photo ID laws that obama won include:
Florida
Minnesota
Hawaii
and New Hampshire
On edit-Oh sorry Obama also won Pennsylvania, one of the "strict Photo requirement" states.
IF we include those states with some kind of ID law, the number just gets higher. The states with strict voter id laws were never likely to vote for Obama anyway.
So is it me or is this not even a good lie since it's so easily debunked?
that would seem verfiable
"President Obama lost every one of the states with photo identification requirements for voting"
