Hyperbole Alert!!! WashPo says Voting Rts. Act endangered

The Washington Post headline implies that the Voting Rights act (which ensured black enfranchisement) is at risk: "40 Years After Passage, Voting Law Is in Dispute" . . . good thing I read the article. According to the article, "strict" new laws in Georgia will place a burden on voters:

They are fighting a law passed by the state's Republican-controlled
legislature in March that requires voters to obtain one of six forms of photo
identification before going to the polls, as opposed to the 17 types of picture
and non-picture ID they currently use.

Note that the writer speeds by (in my humble opinion) a major difference between the current law and the old law, by equating photo identification with "picture and non-picture ID."

Give me a break, is it onerous to say that we won't accept a utility bill with your purported name on it as "identification" before letting you cast a vote? The sister of a crooked ex-Tennessee state senator (who just retired following Federal indictments related to his official duties) just won a crowded primary for her brother's old seat by a margin of . . . 20 votes. Voter fraud has an impact on elections, and it will increasingly do so as the Dems have slipped from their majority party status.

We need election reform in America, and this Georgia law is not going to disenfranchise blacks.
