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.”

IN THE 21ST CENTURY, AMERICA`S GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM IS ‘STUPID’
America`s Governmental System was brilliant 235 years ago…But, in the 21st Century…it is ‘STUPID.”
Allowing 535 people, mainly Lawyers, to make the laws, collect the money and spend the money, without asking We the People…Is just plain stupid and asking for Trouble…
Remember, lawyers went to Law School to be taught to take any side of an issue, that THEY ARE PAID TO TAKE…
Just 70 years ago in Germany, the German People faced the same situation as it was becoming Nazi Germany…But, they did not have the Technology that We the People Have Today, to change the direction of our country…They did not have a way to have the direction of their country decided of, by and for the people…Technology gives US the way…
We have a Better Plan for America. A plan to use 21st Century Communication Technology to Let ‘You The People” make decision on Issues that Affect Your Life…
Please check out the plan and help move it through the Social Media Miracle that we have never had before…and let`s get people behind this plan…No one knows what kind of world that you want for yourself and your family and friends, more than YOU!
