Voter ID laws were struck down in Texas, North Carolina, Wisconsin and North Dakota. Facebook comments edited for clarity and grammar:

Prior to the 2012 presidential election, one Republican Pennsylvania lawmaker gleefully remarked that the passage of the voter ID law would hand the state’s electoral college votes to Mitt Romney.

Clearly, these laws are not being enacted to prevent voter fraud.

The integrity of our elections is fundamental to Democracy. Voter ID laws ensure that one person only gets one vote.

Whenever Americans require rules that force voters to be responsible and identified, Democrats complain that it targets their base.

POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice and media

Everyone should have an ID. You need one to go to the hospital, get on a plane and cash a check. Requiring an ID for voting is not racism, it’s common sense.

—Louise Springer

I am a conservative, and I want access for all. I also want to prevent voter fraud. I hope both sides can work together to make this a win-win.

USA TODAY’s editorial on voter ID laws praises some Republican justices for voting correctly to throw out legislation.

The editorial piece also states that eventually when the Supreme Court is back to full strength it could weigh in on the matter of new voting laws.

But it doesn’t state that if a Republican gets to appoint the next Supreme Court justices that won’t happen.

If president Abraham Lincoln was alive today he’d be a Democrat because the 1968 Southern strategy made his party the party of racism.

We must not allow fraudulent voting to nullify the votes of those who actually have the right to vote.

If Democrats were really interested in making sure that disenfranchised citizens could vote, surely they can organize efforts to assist the poor, the elderly and the otherwise disenfranchised to acquire IDs, and then on Election Day, take them to the polls.

The true objective of the party is obvious: Their intent is to disable basic, common sense, voting security for the sole purpose of winning elections by fraud.

We asked followers what they thought of decisions that struck down voter ID laws. Tweets edited for clarity and grammar:

I think it’s a good thing as no one should be limited on their right to cast a ballot due to race or anything else.

Only reason not to require ID to vote is to promote voter fraud.

—@troaring

Voter fraud is all but nonexistent, with research revealing very few cases.
