For Obama.
That, via Don Surber, pretty much sums up this piece from Reuters:
VoterFraudNew state laws designed to fight voter fraud could reduce the
number of Americans signing up to vote in this year's presidential election
by hundreds of thousands, a potential problem for President Barack Obama's
re-election bid.
Voting laws passed by Republican-led legislatures in a dozen states
during the past year have sharply restricted voter-registration drives that
typically target young, low-income, African-American and Hispanic voters -
groups that have backed the Democratic president by wide margins.
A further 16 states are considering bills that would end voter
registration on election days, impose a range of limits on groups that
register voters and make it more difficult for people to sign up, according
to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School.
The new laws - many of which include measures requiring voters to show a
photo ID at the polls - could carve into Obama's potential support in
Florida, Ohio and a few other politically divided states likely to be
crucial in the November 6 election, analysts say.
You've got to just love that.
Fighting voter fraud hurts Obama's re-election chances.
