"...While not taking a position on the legislation, Callanan warned that any law that required that people present ID at the polling place might actually discourage people from voting. "It will be cumbersome to have them presented at the polls," she said. "The lines will be longer. It will require an additional check."
Some Democrats in the Legislature have fought the proposal, saying it would keep the poor and minorities, who generally vote Democratic, away from the polls. A key Democratic Senator and Dewhurst got into an argument on the floor of the Senate over the emotional issue..."
Anyone wonder why the dems are wanting the 'fairness' doctrine? You won't see this in the MSM; only on local AM radio.

but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury. Gosh, it's not as if they are not already breaking the law.

If it can be proven, isn’t the strategy for registered voters to sue, claiming disenfrancisement under the Constitution due to the dilution of their vote at the ballot box by the illegals? The settlement would not be monetary but rather by injunction, demanding that the voter registration office ensure eligibility of the registration base.

In Virginia we have to present IDs at the polls to vote. Why should illegals have it easier than us citizens?

"Why would any Texan oppose legislation that ensures only U.S. citizens vote in elections?"
Because they stand to benefit from the illegal votes.

Hundreds of illegal immigrants have registered to vote in Bexar County in recent years and dozens of them have actually cast ballots, canceling out the votes of U.S. citizens, 1200 WOAI news will report Thursday morning. Isn't WOAI management guilty of committing a hate crime? Their FCC license should be suspended, and the owners and management should be tried and sent to prison.

I suppose that veteran election integrity inspector Jimmy Carter will give his blessing to the illegal immigrant voting registration, because it helps the ‘Rats rig elections.

...people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury. But they won't be. If the local DA tries, the ACLU, MeChaChaCha, LaRacist, and all the Illegal Alien protection groups will sue.

What’s the big deal? There will be 30 million new voters on the rolls very shortly and I’m sure they’ll be voting Republican.

I don’t think this is an isolated incident, they were signing up illegals during their march on 1 May. If anyone steals elections it’s the democrats.

Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan confirmed the figures, but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury. SNORT.
