Both TX and SC have said they will sue. They have a good case, considering SCOTUS has ruled in 2008 on the issue.

Ok, thanks. I hope they do sue, they should win hands down.

So, how many documented cases of people voting without having the right to do so are we talking about?

One is enough and more than that have recently been charged with it.

Is that all you care about ? Then again in CA only citizens need driver licenses and insurance to drive. The undocumented immigrants don't.

Well, if you're going to legislate to stop a problem, I'd say it makes sense to make sure there is a problem in the first place. And here I thought avoiding unnecessary legislation was a conservative principle.

These are state matters so why should they concern you if you don't live in that state ?

Being a non-citizen who very much needs to carry license and insurance to drive in California, I guess we now know who's making it up as they go along.

Funny from someone who just commented - incorrectly - on California's driving laws. And seeing as the elections have federal consequences, I'd say it concerns me quite a bit.

Because he ain't one of those people without a color?

Spoken like a republican.

Here is something that I find absurd:

In Texas, voters can present a gun permit but not college-issued identification.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a photo ID to vote? [/i]

That being said who doesn't have a photo ID nowadays? You pratically need it for everything!
