Yeah...  that would be the same party of thugs, thieves and frauds that just 
passed and signed a Georgia law requiring government issued Drivers License 
ID in order to exercise your right to vote.  The requirement is, of course, 
entirely redundant to the confirmation of voter identity and residency 
established through the existing, very thorough voter registration processes.

Voting is a right, but driving is classified as a privilege. Drivers licenses 
can be revoked, denied and confiscated with no notice for a broad number of 
reasons, reasons which are very often the consequence of being among the 
poor, underprivileged or profiled minority classes of citizens. The party of 
fraud is clearly out to disenfranchise as many of the less privileged 
citizens as possible, the citizens who are disproportionately blacks, 
hispanics, the elderly and minority groups. These are the groups that are 
more likely to vote for the citizen self interests of the common wealth than 
the obscenely wealthy special interests of the corporate welfare state.

It may well be that removing the fingerprint data from Georgia driver licenses 
was nothing more than a tangential necessity for installing this latest 
method of Jim Crow voter suppression without having it instantly repealed 
under federal, civil rights related election restrictions that apply to 
southern states.

PS:  :-) Jim...
I have considerable experience with effects of psychotropic substances. 
Tragically, I can assure you that these are undistorted views of reality.
