Texas election officials have acknowledged that hundreds of people were allowed to bypass the state's toughest-in-the-nation voter ID law and improperly cast ballots in the November presidential election by signing a sworn statement instead of showing a photo ID. The chief election officers in two of the state's largest counties are now considering whether to refer cases to local prosecutors for potential perjury charges or violations of election law.

They need to prosecute each and every case of illegal voting to the fullest extent of the law. This fraudulent voting needs to end and the way to end it is with proper laws and controls, stiff penalties for cheating.

Oh, but you’ll put someone in jail for 5 years for possession of an ounce of pot.....
What is more Dangerous to our Nation? A weedhead, or people voting illegally for communism?
No wonder they thought Texas was in play.
Remember when the Clinton gang was claiming Texas was in play?.. and Georgia? Bunch of liars and cheats!!!
I wonder if any of them just refused to show it to make a "statement".
A few years back the local paper (Dallas Morning News) had a letter to the editor wherein someone stated that he was a US citizen, had lived in Texas all his life, had never had to show an ID to vote before, and he sure wasn't going to show one now just because the law had changed.

Prison time.

Not any more in Harris County as of 3/1/2017. AG Ogg changed the law all by herself. What could possibly go wrong? Democrats gone wild in Harris County.
Use this as a learning experience, and get rock solid laws and procedures before the midterms roll around... nationwide.
I’ve got a feeling that this is going on in Arizona too.
Those election clerks need to be prosecuted, for election fraud.
Prosecute and imprison EVERY one of them.
AND HILLARY STILL DIDN’T WIN!!!!!
Are they all up for automatic deportation? I’d also love to see them go after any criminals who might have knowingly registered invaders to vote, or allowed them to vote once they were registered.
“”We don’t consider it something that we want to go out and prosecute people over,””
No, because you are in favor of illegals voting.
