“””No voter ID for anyone, because of 1 person?”””


That is the BIG plank in the Democrat platform.

I think that guy eventually committed suicide.... Good riddance, as far as I’m concerned.
Bet he was a liberal.

“Did you know you can schedule an appointment to obtain an Election Identification Certificate (EIC) at your local Driver License office? If you currently hold a Texas Driver License (DL) or Identification (ID) card, these are valid forms of ID for purposes of voting, and you do not need an EIC.

If you have never had a Texas ID, but need an EIC, please schedule an appointment. If you have ever had a DL or ID card which is now expired and need an EIC, please schedule an appointment for the type of card you currently hold. When you arrive at the DPS office, EICs are given priority.”

I think this may be a problem with federal regulations and not the state. In Georgia when renewing a license you need a birth certificate or pass port so the drivers license is a verified federal document to board airplanes etc. There may be a work around.

Yeah, 'cause it takes a year to obtain a duplicate birth certificate. /s

There’s always a workaround. She had a driver’s license before but let it lapse, so obviously she had presented something to get the license in the first place and could do so again.

She’s just being used.

Total BS. My father was born in a sod house in 1909 in a unorganized county in South Dakota and was able to get a birth certificate and a passport.

FTA: .... unable to present the required birth certificate needed to verify her identity.

I had to get my certificate from Minnesota in early 2020 and I was able to while living in California.

She ain’t trying.

Yet she deposited or cashed all those government checks in 2020. What a country full of idiots.

Can someone tell me what is unfair when there is 7 different ID you can use?
