Here in TX voters had to have state-issued ID. In some outlying rural areas, people have to travel up to 250 miles to obtain one, and in many cases the DMV offices are only open part-time.
That means 2 days travel, cost of gas and overnight stay. Working people have to take 2 days off work. People without cars frequently don't have the means at all to make the trip.
Texas has DMV offices in only eighty-one of 254 counties in the state, with some voters needing to travel up to 250 miles to obtain a new voter ID. Counties with a significant Hispanic population are less likely to have a DMV office, while Hispanic residents in such counties are twice as likely as whites to not have the new voter ID (Hispanics in Texas are also twice as likely as whites to not have a car).
Damifino.
I have never been able to figure it out, either.
When one considers all the things that require some form of ID, it boggles the mind that anyone can survive in the world of today without one!
When (if) I go to my polling place, I must present my ID and sign in before they hand a ballot to me. This year, I will get my ballot in the mail, vote at my kitchen table, and drop it in the box at the Post Office during my next trip to town, just like I did in the Primary.
There will be no vote for clinton, and probably none for trump coming out of this house!

"I recognize the closure of the 31 driver's license offices affects mostly rural areas of the state," Bentley said. "To suggest the closure of the driver's license offices is a racial issue is simply not true, and to suggest otherwise should be considered an effort to promote a political agenda."
Last week, during the federal trial on Wisconsin’s voter-ID law, a former Republican staffer testified that GOP senators were “giddy” about the idea that the state’s 2011 voter-ID law might keep Democrats, particularly minorities in Milwaukee, from voting and help them win at the polls. “They were politically frothing at the mouth,” said the aide, Todd Allbaugh.

Again zero voter fraud was shown under the current system.
It was obvious to court intentions were to prevent people from voting from one specific party.
In one State after a massive search for fraud, only 5 cases were found. All people were US citizens and had proper ID. Problem was they had proper ID and were voting in two different States.
So if you want to end fraud. People with proper ID should be banned.
