Why do you say that ?
I guess you didn't bother looking at Texas' history before commenting.

Dem Governors - 39
Repub Governors - 5

And with or without IDs, I highly doubt Wendy Davis is going to get elected Governor.

Happy Tex, We all know this is away to throw out the Voter Feud thing , because the DNC is going to take hit and lose power. I really like the false claim there is a poll tax.

Where do the DNC gets this stuff!

You and I have documented the process from soap to nuts.

Thank you for your thoughtful posting.

Supreme Court on a roll. First gay marriage, now this. You can't even get a job without ID, usually multiple forms. This is a step in the right direction, now just get the other 49 states on board. And it's time for National ID as well.

Primaries aren't a good reflection of voting numbers, I would rather go off general election numbers.

You need an ID to purchase menthol cigarettes and malt liquor.

That is 100% fiction.

And you know it's fiction.

I am just quoting the article, if you don't like it, write the person that wrote the article.

I actually don't pay any attention to Texas politics, so I can't say if it is true or not. All I can say is that it was in the article.

You have to have ID to get a marriage license, hetro or gay.

Compared to past primaries, the voting numbers are up.
Participation was at an all time high.

Walk in voting is seldom where the fraud is. Mail in ballots are where it is at.
The guy programming the diebolt machines, is the next big fraud case.

This ID law has no effect on mail in ballots. So basically it sounds like you are admitting that this bill is a waste of time and money.
