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.”

I started getting drug tested in 1985 until I retired to work and draw a pay check to have part of it taken out to support deadbeats that won’t work . It’s the fair thing to do but sense when dose the Dems. do what is fair and right for the people .
Just another stupid libatard running his mouth.
Jim Crow Joe so your saying blacks are still in the 19th century and aren’t smart enough—calling Al Sharpton,Ophra, Jessie,NAACP,or any black activist who think this is a stereotype portrait of blacks
Joe has his mouth in high gear he knows not what is going to come out. sometimes you need laws to keep people honest, a person is allowed to vote once. the last couple of elections there were times some people voted as many as 40 times. So it is reasonable to ask for I.D
No it is just common sense
It is based off hatred…the hatred of voter fraud that benefits the left. If you need an ID to drive, purchase alcohol, cigarets, guns etc. etc….how is it hatred, racist or discriminatory to require an ID for voting? Getting your paperwork together that is required to get an ID shouldn’t be that difficult. If you really want to vote that bad, then you will get it.
Laws are racissist! Just wait till they start calling school tests racist. “Let my boy pass! He keep it reel! He gots swag! Why you so racist!?”
yep they keep the dead and illegal from voting , and they sure hate that
This sry excuse 4 a real American is useless, Voter ID needs 2 b everywhereand don’t let the dead people vote this time.
Biden is another stupid old senile Libtard democrat, that is no longer useful!
