On MLK Day, Biden slams state voter ID laws

Vice President Joseph R. Biden criticized voter ID laws Monday, saying progress on civil rights and economic justice depend on minorities having unimpeded access to the ballot booth.
“I’d never thought we’d be fighting the fight again on voting rights,” Mr. Biden said in Washington at a Martin Luther King Day breakfast hosted by the National Action Network. “This has been the ultimate fight because our opponents know, they know, the single most dangerous thing to give us is the right to vote.”
