I just Tweeted Debbie Wasserman Schultz on what is going on with the DNC with voter ID registration [View all]

Because so far I haven't heard NOTHING the DNC is doing to get people these voter ID's the states are forcing people to get. I hope they don't try and wait the last minute before the election to do anything I'm hearing it takes some states a couple of months to get the ID'S they want. This should be priority number one right now.There's a post on DU that says voter registration is DOWN significantly in the Democratic Party among Hispanics and African Americans for this election I hope we don't get complacent thinking Obama has this election wrapped up or we will be sorry come November the day after the election when we find out we came up short because of voter ID laws. That's my two cents on this hears the LINK to the pending law suit in PA http://www.realclearpolitics.com/news/ap/politics/2012/May/01/tough_new_pa__voter_id_law_challenged_in_court.html
