We need to keep those who may not be wealthy or educated enough to be considered desirable American citizens from voting in our elections and skewing the results. The constitution unfortunately requires that we allow such folks to vote, so our only practical strategy to keep such folks away from the polls is to make the prerequisite for voting just a wee-bit arduous. Not arduous enough to be successfully contested in court of course.

Naturally, I'm all for this, as I can't stand going to my polling place and seeing those unseemly great-unwashed ethnic types putting their grubby hands all over the levers in the voting booth. Makes me want to bring Purell to the polls.
