She didn't have a driver's license, but she had her voter registration card, went to the polls where the workers knew her, and voted. If the voter ID law were in effect, I'm not sure she or others like her could have voted.Well duh.....she had the voter registration to vote...maybe she did not want to drive you dope! I bet she would have had a photo ID if it had been required to vote.....because she wasn't a dope like you Mario...
Instead of a new liver...get a set of balls please!

Mexican standards and ways of doing things being imposed on the United States by ignorant border “lawmakers.” Mario, if you want to live like that move to Monterey. James Michener described how this was going to happen in that book he wrote about Texas 30 years ago.

Before being allowed to vote, people should at least be able to prove who they are, and whether they are even eligible. Anyone not wanting to prove their eligibility to vote must be assumed to be hiding something. Like their illegal status?

Personally I think a US Passport should be required to vote in any Federal Election.
Then all the illegals in California would at least be barred from voting in elections that affect us all.

WHAT BS! If you can’t take the effort to get the proper ID I don’t want your butt voting.

For many folks, a voter ID requirement doesn't sound like a big deal, but it would prevent many eligible voters from voting.
Total crock of sh*t. They would be able to vote a provisional ballot, same as always.

how did she cash checks without an ID? driver’s licenses aren’t the only valid form of ID. My lady is legally blind (well, she’s M lady;-)) and carries a state ID card.
this is more like rationalizating a method of not know who votes, to protect perhaps some unsavory type who like to vote in elections multiple times maybe? like dead people?
ID’s are reasonable if you intend to control the process. it’s in no way like a poll test or tax.

No one ever said that ID requirements didn’t suppress voter turnout. Of course they do. They keep ineligibles from voting. But, of course, that’s the last thing the Dems want. They need the vote of the convict, the illegal alien and the dead to build a permanent majority.

Gallegos, a Democrat, represents Houston.
And is full of sh*t.

All voters should be required to show a right to vote, you are a citizen and not a felon, photo ID.

Voter ID laws passed in Georgia and Missouri were struck down by the courts, which concluded that the cost of obtaining the ID and necessary documents amounts to a 21st century poll tax.Sooooo. . .adding ignorance to stupidity makes for what? Fairness in voting?
These people are not capable of logic. . .reason or that judgment that makes for genuine fairness.

There is only one reason for the RATS to be opposing voter ID, and that’s so it’s easier to cheat.

Voter ID proponents say it's necessary to combat "voter fraud" and raise the specter of "illegal aliens" voting, but no one has documented a single case of "voter impersonation" that HB 218 would solveHey Mario...get a hint man....It's a secret ballot....you dope!
How does one prosecute voter impersonation once the vote is cast and the illegal has dissappeared like a feral cat?
Your logic fails to impress me....You dope...did I mention that you are a dope....?

My little DFW suburb wants to see your voter registration card or your driver’s license and the little old ladies who work the polls will send you home if you don’t have them. I guess that would not work anyplace where Democrats control the polls.

OK fine. We should also sell booze and cigarettes to people without an ID too. Somehow people manage to get identification for those privileges, let them take responsibility for the voting privilege as well.
