Throughout 2012, Republican legislators did their damnedest to require voters to present ID at the polls, to reduce polling hours or to close polling stations. Voter suppression? Oh, no, they assured everyone. All this was in the interest of preventing vote fraud. It was nice to catch one these Republicans in a moment of candor. Here is Pennsylvania's state House Majority Leader in a speech at the Republican State Committee on June 23, 2012, shortly after the state Legislature passed a stringent photo ID law.
Turzai's plan never came to pass. The state Supreme Court set aside the law for the 2012 election, and voters by a large margin chose Barack Obama over Mitt Romney.
