The Vice President said Tuesday that new voter ID laws in Texas, North Carolina and Texas showed evidence of “hatred” and “zealotry”.
Talking at the Naval Observatory for a Black history Month event, Joe Biden said he was frustrated by the Supreme Court ruling that recently struck down part of the law.
“I thought it was done — finally, finally done,” Biden said.The ruling struck down a provision of the law that required certain jurisdictions with a history of voting suppression to clear any changes in their voting laws with the Justice Department. The court said Congress could update the pre-clearance formula, but lawmakers have been unable to agree on new standards.
Some Southern states have moved aggressively in the interim to impose new, tougher voter ID requirements. Supporters of the legislation, including many Republicans, argue the new standards help prevent voter fraud. But civil rights groups and Democrats have blasted the legislation as an attempt to suppress the vote among poor and minority voters, who are less likely to have government-issued photo identification. They also argue that instances of voter fraud are exceedingly rare.
“These guys never go away. Hatred never, never goes away,” Biden said. “The zealotry of those who wish to limit the franchise cannot be smothered by reason.”

Hope he NEVER becomes a president…he is NUTS!!!
There has only been 84 fraudulent votes. 84.
Hatred has nothing to do with this issue. You have to show a certified copy of your birth certificate and proof citizenship to get a drivers license and Social Security Card here in WV. Voter ID is a must to stop voter fraud. What does your home state of Delaware require for the two mentioned above.
F—–g IDIOT!
Joe still has his mother out his name in his clothes
OUR! administration is digging deep for anyway possible to set everything up to get more votes when the time comes… don’t vote for anymore democrats or liiberals at all no matter what kinds of wool they are pulling over our eyes, ears, and last but should be first ,our voices.
really?? what rock did he crawl out from under.???
No Incumbents. They have not fired Obama, Susan Rice, Biden, and Eric Holder. Vote them out.
So having to show ID for obamacare is based in hatred too
Biden must be related to Nancy Pelosi. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. A big box of rocks.
