League of Women Voters, NAACP allowed into SC suit - The League of Women Voters and the NAACP on Wednesday became the latest groups allowed to take part in a legal challenge over South Carolina’s new voter identification law, according to the Associated Press’ Meg Kinnard.

Why would any sane and responsible person/citizen object to anyone wanting to cast a vote show a valid Id; nonbelievers are up to no goodwill, an agenda. Let LWV & SCNAACP go on down to WalMArt or Target or Lowes and buy anything w/o ID-no go you will have to show ID a debit w/ photo.
This is such a partial arrangement to stir up the soon to boil over election process. Who is really behind these protests must never buy cigarettes, liquor, groceries, gasoline, candy, or clothes.
If SC is forced by federal forces to allow anyone to vote regardless of identification, why can SC not obey, what can doj do or can do so close to Nov election. We can protest also. Mr. A Wilson, I stand by you..
