FORT WORTH — As the March primary election approaches, election officials throughout the state are gearing up for potential problems.

This March 4 primary will be the biggest election since the state’s Voter ID law, which requires voters to show government issued photo identification at the polls, went into effect last year.

Expect Democrats to magnify their own self-created problems in this first big election with our reasonable law in place. Expect the incessant crying and whining to be deafening.

[Cicero]

Maybe the Dems in places like Houston can just start issuing drivers licenses to dead people. I’m sure they’ll figure something out.

[cripplecreek]

Bring out your dead.

But isn’t a comparison of signatures by the poll worker enough? It is here in New Jersey? :)

Last election, Abortion Barbie claims she was being deliberately disenfranchised by the voter ID laws.

More DNC talking points.

Wendy Davis’ fix to voting law lets her cast ballot

But when the state senator got to her polling place, poll workers noted that the name on her driver’s license, Wendy Russell Davis, didn’t match that on her voter rolls, Wendy Davis. That meant that under the law, she was required to sign an affidavit swearing that she was who she said she was.

“It was a simple procedure,” Davis told reporters afterward. “I signed the affidavit and was able to vote with no problem.”

Good one......lol

The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the so-called right to vote without having to show a valid photo ID. And since Texas is now requiring a state-issued photo ID in order to vote, the next is to reduce campaign fraud imo.

Since the states have likewise never amended the Constitution to expressly protect voters from having to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the Constitution in order to vote, the states should require candidate voters to pass a basic constitutional law test, written or oral, in order to do so. Such a test would emphasize the federal government's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, and also Congress's limited power to lay taxes.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The main purpose of such a test would be to make voters more aware of constitutionally indefensible campaign promises made by candidates for federal office.

Make ballot stuffing a capital offense.

Make ballot stuffing a capital offense.

Makes perfect sense. But the Left would predictably scream that such a severe penalty would effectively "suppress" the vote of some people. Seriously, they make these claims. I've heard them with my own ears.

[Undecided 2012]

I know a place where it’s hell on earth. A voter ID won’t matter in that Ward because the voters don’t even need to show up. Firs off, a Republican poll watcher wouldn’t be there because of extreme safety concerns and they pull the “D: lever again and again. How do you think some Wards had over 100% voter participation?

I wonder if women seeking abortions have to show photo ID?

[GeronL]

I agree

I wonder if women seeking abortions have to show photo ID?

"Don't ask, don't tell" is the Abortionist's mantra.

Are you saying that in NJ they have the signatures of dead people to compare with those of people trying to vote? lol

LBJ absolutely depended on the votes of the dead to get elected in TX.

So, you have a precinct with 1,000 registered voters. Some 2,000 votes are cast on election day. Vote fraud is charged, but the Board of Elections and court cannot say definitively that there's any indication of fraud. And so, the election is certified and the Donkey wins. How unexpected...NOT. [The average person would say there's something wrong, just based on the numbers alone, but not the Board of elections or the courts. Hmmmm.]
