CalvinBall wrote:VOTER ID LAW OVERTURNED IN PA! Lower court said there is not enough time to get everyone IDs who would need them. F you republicans.

Below are details on the overturned laws, by category.

Voter ID Laws: Courts have nullified voter ID laws in Wisconsin and Texas (and, for now, in Pennsylvania), and a voter ID ballot initiative in Missouri. South Carolina’s law is blocked pending federal approval under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

Voter Registration: A federal court overturned Florida’s restrictions on voter registration drives for violating the First Amendment. Voters in Maine also repealed a ban on Election Day voter registration.

Early Voting: After public outcry, the Ohio legislature repealed its own legislation cutting back on early voting days, but kept a ban on three days of early voting before the election, which a state court subsequently overturned (Ohio is appealing). A federal court blocked early voting limits in Florida in five counties covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act for discriminating against African-American voters.

Voter Purges: A district court in Iowa blocked an attempt by Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz to purge so-called “non-citizen” voters from the rolls.

Student Voting: A New Hampshire court ruled that students do not have to register their car in the state in order to cast a ballot.

Provisional Ballots: An Ohio judge ruled that provisional ballots mistakenly cast in the wrong precinct must be counted.

Considering the speaker, mostly no, but it might have been nice to squeeze in a sentence or two about, ya know, business in South Jersey. Instead, I get to watch him read, from his iPhone, descriptions of wasteful bills being sponsored by Democrats. His speech, no exaggeration, boiled down to "If you let the Democrats back in the door, all of MY progress over the past three years will be ruined".

The Obama campaign seized on TPC’s finding that Romney’s tax plan, even under very generous assumptions, raises taxes on the middle class, citing the paper in attack ads and stump speeches. The Romney campaign in turn dismissed the report, and numerous conservative economists and think tanks have written responses disputing its conclusions. The Heritage Foundation’s Curtis Dubay’s attempted debunking yesterday is just the latest.

It’s all a bit much for a technical report with the dry-as-bone title, “On the Distributional Effects of Base-Broadening Income Tax Reform.” So let’s take a step back. Given what the report actually said, have any of the studies responding to it debunked its conclusions? Not really. If anything, they highlight the priorities that Romney is going to have to compromise on to get tax reform done.
