Definition of "Outrage": something that reduces the Statist's power

Michael Walsh makes the obvious point.  The less obvious point is that the only way to evaluate a policy that the state machine advocates is to determine what it does to the power dynamic:  if it diffuses power out among the states and the people, they are against it, if it helps concentrate power among the statist classes, they are for it.  Thus they are for big city voter fraud which gives them more votes and therefore consider any policy that reduces it an outrage.  Fascist is as fascist does.

If you want to buy over-the-counter cold medicine at your local drugstore, chances are you have to show a photo ID to do it. Same if you want to get on a plane, rent a car or open a bank account. So why not to vote?

But to Attorney General Eric Holder, the idea is an outrage. In the name of "civil rights," he's declared war on a nationwide movement to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.

Just this year, eight states have passed new photo-ID laws; more than half now have some form of ID requirement for voting. But Holder has already sicced Justice's Civil Rights Division on new voter-ID laws in South Carolina and Texas to see if there's any "disproportionate impact" on minorities. He's also objecting to reforms in "early voting" in places like Florida, which recently tightened its electoral window.

And he went to Austin, Texas, on Tuesday to give a speech denouncing what his ally Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) calls "a deliberate and systematic attempt to prevent millions of elderly voters, young voters, students, minority and low-income voters from exercising their constitutional right to engage in the democratic process."
