Republican Poster Boy For Stringent Voter I.D.

"The Daily Show Interviews Republican Party Official, Don Yellin, 
Who Spills Beans On Deliberate Voter Suppression 
Masquerading As Prevention Of Voter Fraud"

Alan: The nation's newspapers can perform a crucial public service by creating a central repository to report all cases of voter fraud in the 2014 (and all future) elections.

I have no doubt that the actual number of cases will be tiny.

The number of cases that are successfully prosecuted will be vanishingly minute.

Conservatives "believe" that "principled perfection" is sufficient justification for voter restriction when in fact "Principled Perfection" is The Problem.

"Is Perfectionism A Curse? Paul Ryan Tells The Truth"

"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice.  The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization.  We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal.  Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good.  The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”  
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander,” by Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton
