Obama Says Romney Will End Medicare
From MSNBC
President Obama begins a two-day swing through Florida and First Read reports "he'll introduce another attack: hitting Romney on Medicare and the Ryan budget." Per the campaign, the president "will discuss his commitment to strengthening Medicare, and a new report tomorrow that highlights the devastating impact Mitt Romney's Medicare plan could have on the 3.4 million Floridians that rely on Medicare." "Bottom line, per the campaign's guidance: Obama will argue that Romney -- through his support for the Ryan budget plan -- advocates ending Medicare 'as we know it.'" Jonathan Chait: "The Obama campaign's attacks on Mitt Romney's business record and personal finances will probably continue for a long time. But I think that, when the campaign is remembered in history, they will not be seen as the central element but rather as a prelude. The main event is going to be a fight over the priorities of the Paul Ryan budget."
Legal Battles Erupt Over Tough Voter ID Laws
From The New York Times
A document acknowledges that Wilola Shinholster Lee, 60, of Philadelphia, has applied for a new birth certificate to replace the one lost in a fire. A former hotel housekeeper, Ms. Applewhite, who never had a driver’s license, was suddenly without a Social Security card. Adopted and twice married, she had several name changes over the years, so obtaining new documents was complicated. As a result, with Pennsylvania now requiring a state-approved form of photo identification to vote, Ms. Applewhite, a supporter of President Obama, may be forced to sit out November’s election for the first time in decades.
