Actually gun licenses were an accepted form of voter ID, but it still was overly restrictive.


The law wasn't entirely struck down they just need to change.


Texas and other states in their endless campaign to address all that voter fraud.
Quite the history in Texas abusing minority voters, I'm sure they are only after their best interests once again.

If there was a voting station at a Texas airport, you could travel and vote at the same time. You could purport to be anyone you want to be to vote but when checking in for your flight, you must produce a photo ID.

Yes, because its a guaranteed right, just like voting.....buying alcohol, driving cars and cashing checks arent...

In a world of ID Fraud I have not problem in flashing my credentials in voting. There are those who intentional commit voter fraud. TX has every right to protect the Voters and Citizens of Texas.


To get a DL and sign up as a register voter one has to have Pass Port, Birth certificate and a SS Card.


This will go back to the courts. We have hashed this out for several years and it amazes me there those who think because you there , therefore you are entitled.


Before one knows it the Libs will have no standards is exercising the manage of the peoples will.


Who are knuckleheads????
