SCOTUS says Texas Voter ID laws ok....

[Cow Poke]

There wasn't any measured drop for the 2012 elections, in the states this law was put into effect, so I doubt there will be a measured drop in this one. I would think that a great way to help the poor would be to help them get an ID card since you need it for so many things in the modern world, so that they could start to move up from the situation they are currently in.

Absolutely! Unless, of course, the Democrats want to "keep them on the plantation".

I said "wince, Wince, WINCE"

in which state is that? In my state you have to show you are over 18, a US citizen, a resident of the state (actually the county) for at least 30 days, don't have a felony conviction and not already registered (so you can't register as a democrat and a republican). I am pretty sure that is the requirements for all states, with slight variations)


here is the voter registration page for Texas, where this thread is about.

Most states, as an alternative to a photo ID. How are you supposed to show all of those things?

When you first get a driver's license you have to show your age and you also will need a social security card. When I moved to the state I live in now, I had to also submit proof of rent or home ownership to prove my residency.

You either have to give them a birth certificate or a passport to prove your citizenship.

Simply handing over an electric bill doesn't prove anything other than residency.

On the pre-crash Tweb I posted something about a politician's son talking about how to use power bills to skirt voter identification laws.... Ah, here: New Undercover Video: Did Congressman's Son Commit Voter Fraud?

And speaking of encouraging voting fraud...

Source: James O’Keefe Strikes Again

James O’Keefe, the guerilla filmmaker who brought down the ACORN voter-registration fraudsters in 2010 and forced the resignation of NPR executives, politely disagrees. Today, he is releasing some new undercover footage that raises disturbing questions about ballot integrity in Colorado, the site of fiercely contested races for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House, and the governorship. When he raised the issue of filling out some of the unused ballots that are mailed to every household in the state this month, he was told by Meredith Hicks, the director of Work for Progress, a liberal group funded by Democratic Super PACS.: “That is not even like lying or something, if someone throws out a ballot, like if you want to fill it out you should do it.” She then brazenly offered O’Keefe, disguised as a middle-aged college instructor, a job with her group.

The video of O’Keefe’s encounters with other operatives is equally disturbing. He has a conversation with Greenpeace employee Christina Topping, and suggests he might have access to unused ballots from people who have recently moved out of college fraternity houses. “I mean it is putting the votes to good use,” she responds. “So really, truly, like yeah, that is awesome.”
