and that is exactly why the Federal Appeals Court found the new voter ID law in Texas in violation of section 2 of the voting rights act, 600,000 Texans lacked some form of Goverment ID and were prevented from voting. It's not over by a longshot but it appears it will be changed from it's present form.
Even if he provides a link it's probably going to be way overblown. Here in PA they came up with some wildly high number, they compared the voter registration rolls to who had a state issued ID. Included in their overblown number would be; dead people, invalid registrations, people that had other acceptable forms of ID, people registered through automatic registrations that never vote and fraudulent registrations.
A former Speaker of the House could not get a voter ID to vote in Ft.Worth. His drivers license had been expired too long. He had two photo ID's. The expired TDL and his university faculty photo ID. Wasn't good enough for Texas. He had to get his birth certificate.
They tried doing that in Florida but the DOJ and DHS was blocking them from accessing the information, they ended having to sue to get it.
There was a claim of dual registration fraud in NC a few years back and they were able to compare records with other states but it disappeared, don't know why this would be a DHS issue.
If you read through some of the links in the article you will see the details.

She noted the lack of evidence that voter fraud was a threat and cited expert
testimony that about 600,000 Texans, mainly poor, black and Hispanic, lacked the
newly required IDs and often faced obstacles in obtaining them
I read your link. Where is there any substantiation of the claims. There is NONE. It's on her word and her word alone. It could have been 600k or it could have just as likely been 6. I have lived in this state all of my life. I have lived in the city as well as the country and I have NEVER seen ANY evidence of anyone who is a legal voter being unable to obtain identification or unable to vote. I have however seen a lot of republicans in this state that switch to democrat after they die.
