Damn. They passed voter ID yesterday
Democrat leader says veto of voter ID bill an option
The Associated Press

TOPEKA | The House's top Democrat says Gov. Kathleen Sebelius should consider vetoing the voter ID bill.

Minority Leader Dennis McKinney of Greensburg said Wednesday the bill is not needed because there isn't a problem with people voting illegally. The House and Senate passed the bill Tuesday.

Under the bill, Kansans would have to show a photo ID such as a driver's license every time they vote in person starting in 2010.

Supporters say the bill is constitutional and should be signed to prevent voter fraud.

1. Amazing What Happens
I assume everyone noticed that our Governor vetoed this bill. She offered to sign it if the legislature delayed implementation until 2012, but the Republicans wanted to play hardball again, and refused. And they failed to override. Isn't it amazing what strength it gave our Governor when we elected a few new Democrats to the legislature in 2006? Won't it even be more amazing next session when we defeat even more Republican incumbents this fall? And won't it be soooo refreshing when we elect a Democrat to the White House this fall? Let's all work hard to make it happen.
