Even with an ID, you don't necessarily know whether they are citizens -- it just cuts back on the fraud -- which is the mainstay of the Democrats, that's why they are attacking this from every angle.
Considering that there are likely 300,000 bogus ID’s in Texas alone for high school students or college students to buy booze....I think that just saying it’s enough to get voting rights, is pretty bogus.
Course, if you wanted to play along with their argument...simply attach a sheet to sign as you attest your citizenship and the ID...to say that you will pay a penalty fee of $20,000 if you are determined to be an illegal voter, and the bond requirement for the $20,000 must be met within seven days of a charged offense to the local judge. And the guy who finds you as an illegal voter....ought to be able to claim half of the $20,000 as his finders fee.
Student cards are as much valid ID as staff security passes, Costco cards, and gym membership cards.
How can electoral officials be expected to recognise a student card from every college in Texas (I know, I know - they can’t - the point is to make the system completely unworkable). They might as well petition the judge to allow anyone to vote as long as they can fish out a plastic card with a photo on it. Why does the photo even need to be yours? Why does it even need a photo?
Now why would “students” want to vote with no ID?
Student ID omitted for good reason: an automatic backdoor to illegal vote and voters from illegal aliens should not exist.
And with plenty of noncitizen students, why should foreigners be given an ineligible vote?
Besides, you need one of the other forms of ID usually to even BE a student!
Problem solved!
How many students don’t have drivers licenses? The first thing every kid does on his/her birthday when they reach the driving age is to go to the DMV. The is a BS argument.
Texas was one of the first states to allow illegals to pay in-state tuition. So you have lots of Mexican citizens who have student IDs but no proof of citizenship. They want to vote Democrat in Texas. Rick Perry deserves this because he signed the in-state tuition bill for illegals.
If I were king ...
I would require two forms of identification for voter registration.
1. an American Passport
2. evidence of residency in the voting district, driver’s licence, phone bill, etc.
At the polls on election days, I would require voters to present a photo ID with address.
After voting, they must immerse their thumb in a dye that does not fade until after the elections, to prevent multiple voting.
Absentee ballots would would only be issued to duly registered voters and be cross-checked for multiple voting.
So how did these “students” prove how they are in the first place, when enrolling in college.
Seems to me they must have had some ID.
Bunch of babies.
Maybe a proposal to bring the voting age back up to 21 would solve this and a dhole lot of problems. This 18 year old voting law started during the Viet nam war among other crazy things that happened during that time in response
Just stop the whole insanity
Then talk about letting just landowners vote
One thing you got to give the damn dems, they don’t give up on their game of Cheat the Vote.
Who are these people?

“I think that having a municipal ID card helps us align with the welcoming city Austin is,” Touza-Medina said. “It would help these immigrants access an array of local services that they may not be able to access without a government form of identification.” -
