Colin Powell: Republicans Should Halt Voter ID Push

OpEd: Jack
I'm sorry but Colin Powell has lost all credibility as a conservative...he should just admit he has fallen under the Progressives spell..sorry state of affairs folks...Voter ID requirements protects 'all' voters from voter fraud...those wanting to eliminate this requirement are those who commit voter fraud ie: illegals,dead,and multiple votes!

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Monday that Republicans should not have tried to reduce voter turnout during their failed effort to win the White House, doubling down on his recent criticism of the GOP.
“Should we really have gone after reducing the turnout of voters in those places where we thought it would make a difference? The Republican Party should be a party that says, ‘We want everybody to vote,’ and make it easier to vote and give them a reason to vote for the party, [whereas] not to find ways to keep them from voting at all,” Powell said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Powell, who worked under President George W. Bush, continued: “What’s happened in the last few years, is the party has shifted dramatically to the right — that’s perfectly acceptable, but if you stay that far to the right, you’re losing where the country is.”
But while the GOP has headed to the right, the nation has moved to the middle with changing demographics.
