U.S. judge upholds Virginia voter ID law

Via John "First North Carolina earlier this year and now, Virginia.  Looks like judicial common sense is breaking out all over. The biggest losers are those who prefer to racialize every issue, everywhere, at all times, to gain political advantage. We know WHO they are."

Hudson wrote Thursday.
