Voter ID Law RejectedDo you agree with the Justice Department's rejection of the South Carolina Voter Law? Yes or No? Why or Why not?
The Justice Department is rejecting South Carolina's voter ID law, saying it makes it harder for minorities
to vote.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez said Friday that
South Carolina's law didn't meet the burden under the Voting Rights
Act.
He says tens of thousands of minorities in South Carolina may
be unable to cast ballots under the law because they don't have the
right identification.
The Justice Department must approve changes to South Carolina's
election laws because of the state's failure in the past to protect
the voting rights of blacks.
