Penn. Republican: Voter ID will help Romney win

As state legislatures across the country pass legislation to require voters to present photo ID at the polls, many Democrats and civil rights leaders have protested that voter ID laws disenfranchise people who lack proper identification. Some even claim the laws are designed to intentionally sway elections by suppressing the vote of demographics that tend to vote Democratic (mostly young people and minorities). Republicans, of course, always deny this and say they are merely trying to protect the security of the vote and prevent fraud.
But one of Pennsylvania’s top Republican leaders may have tipped his hand this weekend when he suggested to a meeting of Republican officials that the purpose of voter ID laws is to help his party’s presidential nominee win. PoliticsPA’s Kelly Cernetich quoted state House Majority Leader Mike Turzai at the Republican State Committee meeting:
oop's is the cat out of the bag? has their arrogance over ruled any remaining bits of common sense? the whole think is just suppress voter's on the progressive bench to a lower voter availability so "their candidate can win election. 
who knew, just everybody in the world. all that oil stuff and they still aren't slick enough.
why has the DOJ whoever is in charge just get the ok from Holder to pursue fraud by the right's voter fraud claims, Nov. is around the corner. no time to procrastinate.
