So, it remains legal for illegals to vote?

We had a citizenship checkbox on our ballot applications for about 1 primary election.
I think its still there but doesn’t ask the question the same way and you’re signing an affidavit to the effect that you know the law and are voting legally.

This is too insane for insanity.
Such a huge bleeping effort to MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE no one gets asked for their ID before voting.

The only reason you do not check voter ID is to commit voter fraud. Period

Why in the hell is any state asking the feds for permission to do anything.

Last year I went to Town Hall to cast an absentee ballot in our special Senatorial election (it's Massachusetts so yes,the Marxist won).While there I asked the town clerk if they ever asked for ID before handing out an absentee ballot."Oh no",was her stunned reply,"that's against state law".I then asked her if proof of citizenship was required to *register* to vote."No,that too is against state law" was the reply.
I'm deeply ashamed and embarrassed by how far the land of my birth has fallen.

Just received a mailing from the so called “Conservative Republicans of Texas” providing me with an early application for ballot by mail. No mention of citizenship.
Steven F. Hotze, M.D. President of “Conservative Republicans of Texas” has not only endorsed John Cornyn but also Barry Smitherman for Attorney General. Smitherman approved a $13M contract to upgrade the Railroad Commission database with CGI, the company who is responsible for the Obamacare on-line mess. Have asked Smitherman why he would do such a thing but have had no response. Wasn’t going to vote for him or Cornyn anyway but Smitherman should certainly not be running for AG. Disappoints me that nobody in the Texas press anywhere has picked up on this.

Perhaps my long felt suspicions about the station owner were correct, especially if Hotze is endorsing Cornyn. My vote for Tx Lt. Governor might need re-evaluation.

Voter fraud is inexcusable. We are SO lucky in this country to have all the freedoms we have.

States do not have rights. States have powers.

” - - - States are vowing to go to the courts for permission to ask newly registered voters to show proof of citizenship after a federal commission ruled late Friday that its up to the national government, not states, to decide what to include on registration forms. - - - - “
The wussification of State Attorney Generals and Governors continues - - - .

A “federal commission” decided what should be on a “federal” ballot. Isn’t that special!

Suggest you take a look at Ken Paxton for AG. Smitherman siding with CGI who has been positively linked with Obama outweighs anything positive he would bring to the plate IMO. Also Paxton has been endorsed by Ted Cruz.
Haven’t made up my mind yet about Lt. Governor yet although I can guarantee you it won’t be Patterson who wants an increased guest worker program aka more illegals or David Dewhurst who definitely needs to be permanently retired. That leaves Patrick and Staples. Will be interesting to see who Michael Berry endorses.
Another troubling race is that for the Commissioner of the General Land Office where David Watts is running against George P. Bush. The Bush dynasty needs to end. With the U.N. threatening to take over the Alamo, this race is of critical importance. We need to keep the UN, One World Order and Agenda 21 out of Texas.
