Blow to Bigots

Georgia Law Requiring Voters to Show Photo ID Is Thrown Out - washingtonpost.com

A state judge yesterday rejected a Georgia law requiring voters to show government-issued photo identification, writing in his decision, "This cannot be."

Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford Jr. said the law, pushed by Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) to fight voter fraud, violates the state constitution because it disenfranchises citizens who are otherwise qualified to vote.
Jim Crow just took a load of buckshot in the ass.
