photo i.d. that every state has provided as a part of the law. it turned out the reason that it was dismissed by the federal judge was because -- i don't want to give you a lot of quotes that this is worth giving to you. this is from gove college of federal district court that dismissed the lawsuit. although they claim to know people who claim they lack of a lady, they failed to identify those individuals. the failure to identify those individuals is particularly acute in the light of the contention that a large number of georgia voters lack acceptable for the lady. the fact the plaintiffs in spite of their efforts have failed to uncover any one to the test of the fact that he or she will be prevented from voting from significant support from the conclusion that total i.t. requirement does not unduly burden the right to vote. now the interesting thing about this is that the -- you can find almost the exact same quote from the federal district court judge in the indiana case because the lawsuit w

. >> a new generation of fake i.d.'s is so realistic, even the cops have a tough time telling the difference. experts say the most popular counterfeit i.d.'s are made in china and come from someone well known as chinese guy. howard county police department confiscate these. photos and physical descriptions are real and so are the signatures. sometimes the addresses are too. the holograms are exact copies and bar code can fool scanners. >> word on the street is everyone has one of these i.d.'s. is that an exaggeration? >> no, it's not. everybody has them. it's insane the amount of people that have these i.d.'s. >> shawn pierce is a doorman at towson. he said local police consider him one of the best in the business in spotting fakes. >> they can be scanned. i have seen the i.d.'s scan before. it does scan and does work. >> underage drinkers we spoke with consider towson an easy place to get away with bogus i.d.'s and users say the chinese guy makes them easy to obtain. >> it's pretty easy to get. >> benjamin is 19-year-o

for tote toe -- photo i.d., for example, where there's a requirement that you have photo i.d., it seems to me that it's unnecessary then to have a completely separate voter registration process where people are required to go twice, once to register and second to get the i.d. that they need. and so we have been in favor of election day registration as a compliment to the photo i.d. process for those states that have it. we remain in favor of and concerned about cuts to the early vote process in a number of states. we appreciate that not all states have early vote, but those that do, we have seen a tremendous increase in early vote participation, over 2008, in the most recent period, approximately 30% of all voters voted early in that cycle. so certainly for people who have work obligations, or whether they be child care or senior care obligations and may not have the flexibility to participate in that single day, an early vote remains critically important. and so with that, i will end there. i'm happy to take any questions, i'm certain that there is some disagreement with where we are f

new jersey has no photo i.d. requirement, and when this gentleman challenged him, he ran out of the polling place. this gentleman chased him down, called the police on his cell phone. he arrested him and when they arrested the individuals he admitted that he and this other group of individuals were from a homeless shelter, that these two gentlemen had come to them and were paying them $10 each to go vote in the name of another voter, and handed them an index card to have the name of the voter they should go vote in. this was documented in newspaper articles and the zoning board president wrote a letter to the senate rules committee documenting what had happened. that's a recent example of this kind of thing happening. other measures taken, i've talked about photo inc.d., proo of citizenship and something else states should do, they should require all county court clerks and the federal government should require all federal court clerks to notify election officials when individuals who have been called for jury du

. 46% of hispanic males, 59% of latinas don't have state-issued i.d.r lawsuit. this is -- explain to us why this is something of great importance. >> sure. this case is important because this is the first case that challenges one of these voter i.d. restrictions under the voting rights act of 1965. we believe that the wisconsin statute takes us back to a time when people of color were not given full rights to citizenship in this country. second class citizens, we were treated. and again under this law, this is what wisconsin is doing. miss crawford will explain her mother's situation which shows that there are people who want to participate in this election process who fought for the right to vote and who are being disenfranchised by laws like the one in wisconsin. >> miss crawford, tell us why your mother is one of the lead plaintiffs in this lawsuit. >> well, thank you for having me. my mother relocated at the end of last year to live with me so that i could provide care. and as we went to change her current photo i.d., which we just had issued in th

finally, a tip if you're using a fake i.d., be absolutely certain the photo you use on that i.d.ost famous actor in the world. a man in brazil was arrested yesterday a after he tried to open a bank account with this i.d. your eyes do not deceive you. that is a mug shot, a famous mug shot of the actor jack nicholson. not just any picture of jack nicholson. that is his mug shot. according to reports the suspect was using nicholson's picture on a government issued i.d. bears no resemblance whatsoever to jack nicholson. he denies though, charges of falsifying the documents and claims that is, in fact, a photograph of him. still ahead on "way too early", why are you awake? your well meaning tweets, texts and e-mails on the "morning joe." ♪ our machines help identify early stages of cancer and it's something that we're extremely proud of. you see someone who is saved because of this technology, you know that the things that you do in your life, matter. if i did have an opportunity to meet a cancer survivor, i'm sure i could take something positive away from that.

high-tech fake i.d.'th the strongest voices they can find. adam has pushed his button three times but has failed to win anyone over. damn it! this is his last chance tonight to score an artist for his team. will tony lucca fit the bill? tony: when i was 14, i auditioned for "the mickey mouse club" in detroit, and i got it. to this day, people still come up to me and say, "i used to watch you on 'the mickey mouse club.'" it means so much. so, you've been onstage with christina before. i have. as a mouseketeer on "the mickey mouse club," i got a chance to perform with christina britney spears justin timberlake. if your old pal christina turns her chair around would she recognize you from back in the day? liam: i don't know if she would know his voice. but she would know his look. i might sound familiar but i don't think she'd be like, "oh, my god. i know who that is." tony: after "the mickey mouse club" was canceled a good handful of kids obviously went on to pursue pop stardom. i decided to kind of jump in

reid said, we always have to -- you don't have a problem with the photo i.d. issue and what have you. we'veno problems with it whatsoever. and not on the same subject but while i have the mike. i know a lot of you are having issues with pick can cher i.d. at the point of voting. the secret to our success from a challenger is that we do not turn you away if you do not have a picture i.d. we allow you to sign an affidavit at the point of voting. the commissioner verifies certain pertinent information. date of birth, mother's maiden name and the like to verify who you are. you sign an affidavit and we allow you to vote and we don't turn you away. i think that may be the secret to getting around some of the court challenges that you have. >> thank you. i want to remind folks that nass.org, our association ebb site, la a tremendous amount of information and online tools and gadgets and widgets and all of that. so that's something to always use as background reference, but, also, the nass directory on the 2012 presidential caucuses and primary calendar, tomorrow is

no voter i.d.ieve that there's widespread problem other than a few of their own practitioners. >> that's right. they would want to have voter i.d. for some, not for themselves. so in iowa, they didn't use voter i.d. for their own republican primary, but when it comes to the general election, these same folks who are committing voter fraud, who are engaged in trickery to make sure that people are deceived and given misinformation about election day, telling people to vote on one day when the election day is on tuesday. go vote on thursday or don't vote because, in fact, your guy won already. these are the same people who are passing laws that are intended to disenfranchise millions of voters, most of whom would be people of color, young people, elderly, and the disabled. and it's all for partisan gain. >> we saw in iowa that ballots were lost and results were reversed giving santorum the win over romney. the gop state chair had to resign but yet these voter i.d. laws are being considered in 34 state

he has the most name i.d. of any of the candidates. we're within three points and might end up with more delegates than him. i think mitt romney and his campaign have a serious problem. rick santorum clearly has passion for this country and the voters have passion for him. that's a big difference between the two candidates. he offers that positive vision that people gravitate toward. at the end of the day, it's important for the voters to relate to the candidate. even more so, the candidate can relate to the voter. i think rick and the voter have experienced many of the same struggles. that can't be coached. that can't be bought. it's something that's innate in rick santorum. >> we are now less than one week away from the all important super tuesday when republican candidates will be battling it out in primaries or caucuses in ten states. don't miss our live coverage happening all day long on msnbc. >>> it was a somber mood in chardon, ohio, as they held a candlelight vigil. yesterday, two more students died bringing the total number o

hit because they tend to have a lower percentage of having either driver's licenses or state photo i.d.'s it also looks like students in a lot of states could be hurt as again was mentioned in the report in places like texas a student id from a university even though it's issued by a state university is not considered sufficient to vote and so therefore if those students don't have driver's licenses which many of them may not and don't have driver's licenses from texas they might not be able to vote either now when it comes to owning guns the right to bear arms. those that believe in that right of are very very passionate about protecting their rights own guns but as sam and i went to see pac and saw a lot of stands out there making sure that that is indeed protected why don't we see the same kind of passion when it comes to possibly losing the freedoms to vote . it's a good question you do see a lot of groups protesting it but i agree with you there haven't been the same level of demonstrations and so forth i think you have to look at sort of the socioeconomic background of the people

i mean, once you've been to a bank three times, they no longer ask you for i.d.ime. smile and wave at the vice president even if he doesn't know you. he'll wave back and then the teller says if he knows so and so, he is okay. >> are you thinking this consciously when you do it? this is the plan, i have to wave at the vice president? >> yeah. >> little wheels going all the time. >> not one little wheel in there. big, major heavy duty high-powered wheels in there. wheels that he admits just crushed his victims. from sharp, young millionaires to trusting women, to vulnerable senior citizens. >> there are two rules that i went by when i was on the outside. conning people. first is it fool and the money should never be together in the first place, and the second one is, don't get attached to anything you can't leave in ten minutes, ten minutes. bye, got to go. >> but he claims those mental wheels stopped cold after he conned the microsoft guys, while he was still conning the san diego crowd when he fell hard for one woman. he says he knew the feds were closing in as h
