NAACP Requires Photo I.D. to See Holder Speak in State Being Sued Over Voter ID

Earlier today, Attorney General Eric Holder addressed the NAACP
Nation Convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston,
Texas. What did media need in order to attend? That’s right, government
issued photo identification (and a second form of identification too!),
something both Holder and the NAACP stand firmly against when it comes
to voting. Holder’s DOJ is currently suing Texas for “discriminatory”
voter ID laws. From the press release:

All media must present
government-issued photo I.D. (such as a driver’s license) as well as
valid media credentials. Members of the media must RSVP to receive press
credentials at http://action.naacp.org/page/s/registration. For
security purposes, media check-in and equipment set up must be completed
by 7:45 a.m. CDT for an 8:00 a.m. CDT security sweep. Once the
security sweep is completed, additional media equipment will NOT be
permitted to enter and swept equipment will NOT be permitted to exit.
