US Voter ID being challenged by UN rights group.

UN Rights Council Delves Into US Voter I.D. Laws | Fox News

[AndyM]

This is extreemely serious folks. Here we have the UN trying to over ride our laws. I am sure Obama is leading this act since he needs the minority and non ID people's votes. This president must be replaced. God have mercy.

Democrats rely on voter fraud too much to ever let real voter ID laws pass through Congress. You need an ID to buy a house, buy beer, get married, drive a car, rent a hotel room, rent a car, have lunch with your kid at school, etc., etc., but feel free to impersonate anyone you want each time you vote in all the different districts in which you vote.

Why not?

They wrote your educational curricula, your environmental policies, your healthcare policies....and the funny thing is, you pay them to, and they are quartered on your soil!

Obama is the marionette, you'd need to go for the puppetmasters and most of the audience if you want to change for the better. Otherwise, you'll just have change. How about we leave government up to God? He chose Obama and the UN, and the Eu...for His purpose in His plan in His time. I hear China is now the most Christian nation on earth. No wonder we're getting it tougher and tougher. About time, we've had it too easy too long. Time for a weeding...

It always amazes me that the UN can take time to criticize the US and Israel over anything, but it's unable to deal with the slaughter that has gone on in countries in the ME and Africa. Talk about a worthless entity!

Create a need.....and then fill it. Mr Fixit is on his way. He will be very convincing. A real crowd pleaser.

I like what this guy had to say from the op article,

"The idea that this is a human rights abuse is ridiculous," said Hans von Spakovsky, a voter fraud expert and senior legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, in Washington, D.C.

"The UN allowing this to take place under their roof makes them, unfortunately, complicit in what really is a publicity stunt by the NAACP, and I think it wastes their time, when they should be going after real and sustained human rights abuses like the things going on in horrible places, like North Korea."

Spakovsky, who supports voter photo ID laws, says it is a hypocritical and meaningless waste of time to present a case against American electoral laws at the UN forum.

"I think the leadership of the NAACP is, quite frankly, doing a disservice to American citizens and the democracy that we have here, by going abroad to the Human Rights Council, which is filled with dictatorships and other countries that actually and really abuse human rights."

He called the council's weighing of U.S. laws "an insult to the United States that the NAACP thinks we should be getting advice from those kinds of countries, which are not democracies, on how to administer elections in this country.”

Ironically, many of the countries on the UN Human Rights Council have laws requiring photo ID to vote.

I wonder what the UN thinks about Russian elections? I really don't care what they think.

How stupid! Tell you what, though. If they win on the challenge thing, I am going to cross the border and vote in your election myself. After all, they won't be able to demand proof of my citizenship, thanks to the idiotic ACLU.

Come on over, we can vote, have coffee and watch the election results.

The UN needs to keep their nose out of our business no matter what it is.

Come on down, Adrian. Vote early, vote often. It's the UN way.

I agree!!!

It seems like just about every time I use my VISA I have to produce an ID, you know, just in case I’m not who I am supposed to be!!!
