“Texas is one of many southern states that is under the postbellum voter rights act that allows the feds to interfere with their elections.”
Then how do we explain Arizona? Arizona is not a southern state, yet this very day, Holder sent his injustice department minions to the Grand Canyon State in order to monitor Arizona’s primary election. Gotta make sure no one discriminates against those illegals from Mexico when they show up at the polls, I suppose.
As for Texas, I wish Rick Perry would thumb his nose at the hack federal judge and say in a public venue, in front of the cameras, “Go to hell....were are going to ask EVERYONE to show an ID at the polls this November, black, white, hispanic, EVERY race, color and creed. And if the feds don’t like it, tough crap.”
When I vote here in East Texas, Mrs Pat always makes me show my photo ID. We were in the same Sunday School class. She knew my parents and grandparents. I still had to go back out to the car and get my license.
AZ has never been under the “Voting Rights” Act, which has huge “Republican” support too.
