In states, parties clash over voting laws that call for IDs, limits on where college students can cast ballots

In states, parties clash over voting laws that call for IDs, limits on where college students can cast ballots: "New Hampshire's new Republican state House speaker is pretty clear about what he thinks of college kids and how they vote. They're 'foolish,' Speaker William O'Brien said in a recent speech to a tea party group.

'Voting as a liberal. That's what kids do,' he added, his comments taped by a state Democratic Party staffer and posted on YouTube. Students lack 'life experience,' and 'they just vote their feelings.'"

..."'We'd like to be advocating for a 21st-century voting system, but here we are fighting against efforts to turn it back to the 19th century.'"

This is so sick...
