Today the Tennessee Court of Appeals upheld the
state's new law requiring voters to show photo identification at
polling places and ruled that election officials must accept an ID
issued by the Memphis library.
Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey released the following statement on today's appeals court ruling:
"While
allowing library cards clearly violates the legislative intent of this
law, the court rightly affirmed the law's constitutionality. Just
yesterday, we saw Democrat Party voter fraud efforts make national news
in Virginia, as the son of a U.S. Congressman was caught on tape
explaining how to commit fraud at the ballot box. This is exactly the
type of illegal behavior our law will stop. Tennessee's voter ID law is
necessary, proper and completely constitutional. This has been made
plain by the courts and remains undisputed."
