Texans Support Voter ID

So does any American who wants honest elections. Opposition to Voter ID is nothing but a leftist effort to facilitate election fraud and everyone knows it. I despair of any Republican with the guts to point that simple fact out.

[Qwackertoo]

We’ve had to show our id here in AL for the last several elections. Don’t know if it was a new law or if they just started enforcing an old one.

[minnesota4life]

It’s crazy not to support this.

[Moonman62]

While opponents to Voter ID claim the requirement is divisive and partisan,

They probably view law enforcement as divisive and partisan, too.

While opponents to Voter ID claim the requirement is divisive and partisan,

Those are not the main adjective that opponents use.

Hint: The word starts with an "R."

Looks like Ricky boy needs to call a special session to vote on it before Nov.

In a recent survey conducted by the Texas Center for Public Policy Research, 76 percent of registered voters support a state law requirement to show a photo identification to vote in an election cash a welfare check.

They aren't too crazy about ObamaCare either .. !

ID to vote and mail in ballot fraud would go a long way toward cleaning up a the election process in Texas.

Voter Fraud in South Texas

Hmmmm...

Obviously getting the law enacted was a fools errand this last session...But it did setup a good situation as far as I am concerned...

Being an election official, I thought about it for some time and came to the conclusion thst we do not need a Voter ID law...

Our authority as election officials is to guard the “purity of the election” and that justifies that “asking” for picture ID vote prospective voters tht come in our doors...

What seems to be lost in all of this is the fact that you can (as an election judge) make pen and ink changes to the voter rolls (books) to correct them as time goes on...This helps the county clerks clean them up from folks that have moved on, died, or any typos that occur...

I’ve purges approx. 750-800 names from, and have corrected as many typos in the books in my precinct oer the last 15 years to where I rarely have any problems at all with them...

I ask for the ID to verify their information on the books...It is that simple...It is a state issued ID and that is good enough for me and anyone else who takes up this responsibility...

It also helps me get the people who do not pay attention towhere they live, and what precinct they vote in as well...I make sure if they are not on the books in my precinct, that they are directed to the correct location to go vote...That is supposed to be part of the job...

If the fraud takes place, it is because of a blatant disregard for the law, and the responsibility is on the head of the Election Judge...

Darth...Take it away...You’re turn...

What’s really amazing to me is that photo ID is not needed in the first place! I’m 110% behind the rule. Now...since Obamacare passed, I also think you should have to be 27 before you vote!!

[Theodore R.]

Yes, but as is so often the case, voters back candidates who do not agree with the voters’ positions. So what do uninformed voters really believe anyway?

How to get GOP voters to the polls and change the political direction this country is taking: ISSUES LIKE THIS ONE!

[CriticalJ]

If they support it, then they should make it happen.

LBJ would be spinning if it did happen.
