As we told you last week, new data supports the belief that voter ID laws are really meant to suppress voters likely to support Democrats. Now there's a report from Florida that black voters were 6 1/2 times as likely as whites to be rejected by computer programs supposed to match voter applications with public records. Hispanic citizens were 7 times more likely to be rejected than blacks.
For years, we've been arguing that people who don't believe in government shouldn't run for office. Now we're going to expand that to say that people who don't believe in democracy shouldn't participate in elections.
