Obama reacted:

I am deeply disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision today. For nearly 50 years, the Voting Rights Act – enacted and repeatedly renewed by wide bipartisan majorities in Congress – has helped secure the right to vote for millions of Americans. Today’s decision invalidating one of its core provisions upsets decades of well-established practices that help make sure voting is fair, especially in places where voting discrimination has been historically prevalent.

As a nation, we’ve made a great deal of progress towards guaranteeing every American the right to vote. But, as the Supreme Court recognized, voting discrimination still exists. And while today’s decision is a setback, it doesn’t represent the end of our efforts to end voting discrimination. I am calling on Congress to pass legislation to ensure every American has equal access to the polls. My Administration will continue to do everything in its power to ensure a fair and equal voting process.

ohh No!! states might actually be allowed to force people to prove who they are before they can vote.
why must we place such undue burdens on people, like making them prove they are who they say they are before they can vote.

Lol, so true.  The only people who don't like the Court's ruling are those who are against Voter ID, something that would actually help cut down on voter fraud.  Of course, we can't have that. 

Perhaps we should require that everyone who donates to a political organization or pac, be identified by name and affiliation, you know, just to make sure they're citizens.

You do have to prove who you are before already, it's called voter registration. You must register before you are allowed to vote. You must provide ID and proof of residence to register.

Voter fraud isn't a problem. It is not very common. It's a strawman used to get people to Vote for voter ID laws. Voter ID laws are used to limit minority and low income votes.

The big problem with this law is that the number of actual citizens affected greatly outweighs the number of potential fraudulent votes. We disallow 10 million to vote in order to prevent a few hundred thousand from fraudulently voting.

Maybe we should also tell the supreme jerks that corporations aren't human.

It is a fair ruling, although unfortunate in that congress will never agree on a replacement plan as the court has mandated, meaning voter-access issues and lawsuits are going to multiply like flies in the affected states

A stipulation for review after every census should have been included in the original law. As it is, it's basically gone for good...

Lol, and how does it restrict minorities?  Do they have it where there are white only voter ID stations, and the black/hispanic ones are in little shops that are hard to come by?  Or are you suggesting that minorities are too stupid and/or lazy and can't/won't do the things that white people of all income brackets would have to do to get a voter ID card?  That sounds pretty racist to me.

10 million?  How do voter id laws restrict 10 million people from voting?  For gods sake, you dont even need to have a freaking state id!  You can use the dumb little id card they send you when you register.  

The truth is, that the whole issue is just a poltical punching bag for both sides.  States have had voter id laws for decades without it ever being an issue before.  It only became an issue when the battleground states started doing it.  Honestly, I think it is stupid that they even let people vote in some states without somekind of proof of who you are...
