The Glorious Beacon Of Freedom Sauce That Is Us

In the words of the the cartoonist:
I'm growing increasingly worried about the impact of these noxious voter ID laws. Joan McCarter wrote over the weekend about a lawsuit brewing in my home state of Pennsylvania, led by a 93 year-old woman who has voted in nearly every election for 60 years. She now finds herself unable to cast a ballot, thanks to the fact that the state lost her birth certificate. And Ohio now allows poll workers to refuse voters information about where to vote. And we dare to call ourselves a glorious beacon of freedom sauce? Warning to the rest of the world: DO NOT EMULATE.
The so-called issue of voter fraud is a non-existent problem for which Republican state legislatures all over the country are defining their own special self-serving solution.
