A basic and elementary right of every American is to be able to vote without being intimidated and to make sure that he or she is not disenfranchised.  The Department of Justice has exclusively chosen laws it wants to uphold, yet it looks the other way on laws that need to be enforced.  Because Eric Holder's Justice Department refuses to protect the integrity of the election process, the states must step in and fulfill that responsibility.

In the 1950s and 1960s, qualified people were being denied their right to vote; however, today, as J. Christian Adams notes, "voter ID laws are necessary to make sure no one's vote is diluted because of voter fraud."
