AUSTIN, Texas - Texas agreed Wednesday to weaken its voter ID law as courts across the U.S., with only months before the November election, are blocking Republican-controlled states from imposing polling place restrictions that critics say target minorities and the poor.

Then as responsible voters, we should endeavor to visit each and every voting station.

Right. Because they never have to show ID to cash their government check.

WTH?

We have laws we pass, and do not fight for them. Democrats bring lawsuits. Judges ban them going into effect.

They have laws, we don’t fight them. The rare case we do, we can’t get them blocked while fighting them, we sometimes get a win and they are struck down, but the democrats keep doing it anyway.

WTH?!?!

This is not a functioning government we are supposed to have. This is orwellian big brother communism.

I am starting to get a sinking feeling again.

I have thought for years, it was already too late to fix America. But Trump gave me a glimmer of hope... now I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Honestly even if Trump were elected, it’s probably too late. But if Hillary gets in.. were are DONE. She will immediately fill the empty seat on the SC and then promptly replace the two oldest members with young liberals that will lurch America WAY left for the next generation.

It wont even matter at that point if the next 3 presidents are Republican Conservatives, they wont be able to impact the majority of the court.

Ticks me off to no end. Interestingly enough, we aren’t to only state where the Fed judges are invalidating voter ID laws. This, coupled with Obama hinting at Federal oversight....no hope other than armed insurrection coming soon.

Given the relative ease with which these damn machines can be RIGGED, the illegal voter may be a minor element in this process.
For those of you who STILL don’t believe that our elections are being STOLEN. I share the tears of the lady who wept at the thought that countless thousands have died and suffered to secure a process now being warped (Trump correctly calls it “RIGGED”!) by the very evil and dangerous forces now at work destroying this country.
If after watching the 8 minute embedded video you are not ANGRY AS HELL, see if you can still fog a mirror!

You need an ID to get:
A Bank account
A Drivers License
Rent an apartment
Board a airplane
Get a credit card
Check out a book from the library
Work for a Justice or a Law Firm
File your taxes

The only thing your DON’T need an ID for is:
Fake voting documents
Be released by ICE without further investigation.

FOOLS!

It is a known thing that the DNC is specifically targeting Texas to get hordes of Illegal Aliens registered and voting Democrat.

They will likely be busing in ‘citizen’ minority voters from Louisiana and etc.too.

“that critics say target minorities and the poor.”

Just a thought, but “minorities and the poor” should not be allowed to vote because of conflict of interest. Anyone employed by the gubmint, taking freebies, and not paying income/capitalgains taxes should not be allowed to vote.

How, exactly, does it target minorities? Even if they can’t drive, they can get a state ID.

They can’t take a bus? They can’t get a ride from someone?

I seriously do NOT understand this argument. Not at all. It makes no logical sense.
