Voter ID laws are just gun laws, and all laws in the respect that there are people who want to violate them, and they WILL violate them if given the chance.
Are you personally willing to go and volunteer to confront voters in blue districts in Texas to verify they are all eligible? And what would actually be your ability to verify any documents presented to you?
You may be willing to blindly trust that all will be ok, and insult those who are concerned, but not me, not after we saw the results of all those supposed recounts LAST election.

I live in SC. If I lived in Texas then the answer is YES!!
Texas has a procedure in place and if I am checking the ID and if I have suspicion I would make it known to whomever is in charge and assume that voter would need to satisfy him/her or else vote with a provisional ballot.
If we become afraid to call out vote thieves then what the hell is the point of having elections?
Voter ID are NOT like gun laws. You can’t go to a “vote” show and “buy” a vote and you can’t meet a guy named Luigi or Santana behind a garage and “buy” a vote.
People do cheat and the way to stop it is to catch them and have a very public trial and hand down maximum penalties. People are far less likely to commit any crime at all when they know people are specifically looking for that crime.
