They are problem not making a special run to the library just to answer you, is my guess..they got bigger worries than trying to make you happy (even if they knew or cared you existed).

You can't even point one out can you but yet you want to sue over this? Obviously they don't care about you either. If this was really an issue, finding those people wouldn't be a problem. They would find us. The only people making a fuss over this so called issue with the voter's ID is illegals demanding the Right to vote.

Alright, I'll leave you folks to your pointless argument, I get better rebuttals out of the burger threads anyhow.

Anyone with 10 minutes, an internet connection and honest curiosity can find specific instances of American citizens who have voted in Texas for decades and will no longer be eligible because of these new voter i.d. laws.

The Houston Chronicle reports the State of Texas "matching" showed up to 22 percent of Bexar County voters apparently lacked the IDs, as well as 20 percent in Dallas County and 19 percent in Harris County.

There are no DPS offices in 174 Texas counties. Texans with no drivers license and presumably no car, need to somehow drive up to 250 miles to one of the 80 counties w/DPS office (during normal business hours) and submit documents (certified copy of birth certificate costs $20+ to obtain) to get their "free" voter i.d.

And everyone knows it too, but they'll never admit it.

I remember reading that voter fraud was not that common in the US. But oh well, this wont affect me since I'm not allowed to vote until another year. But, this would affect young voters because some of them don't have a drivers license, but I guess they could just get a state ID.

Voter fraud is not common.

Unlike many liberals I do not have a problem with a voter ID law...as long as those without an ID are given assistance in obtaining one. These laws do disproportionately affect minorities, the poor, and the elderly. If we're going to require an ID to exercise a Constitutional right then we should help people get one too.
