She can travel all the way to Washington DC to testify, but she doesn't have time to travel across town to get a State issued ID card? How did she get to Washington DC? Did she walk, take a bus, fly on a private jet???

Give me a break!!!

“She said her parents are too busy to take her or her twin sister to get the new voter identification cards required by the law.”

It’s a personal problem....Jim!

Then the problem wouldn’t be the law, but her parents....right?

[petitfour]

So her mother NEVER leaves the house? Lol what worthless daughters who cannot take care of their grandmother so their mom can leave home for an hour or three.

Oh, boo hoo. Waaaaaa. I don’t “have time” to get my car registration done, but the tags expire next week, so I’ll go there before work. I “don’t have the money” either, but I’ll pay the 55 dollars anyway because it’s a lot cheaper than a ticket.

[pepsionice]

It’s a pretty sad and sorrowful tale. A 18 year old kid, with no apparent license and can never drive a car. An 18 year old kid who can’t buy booze or beer. An 18 year old kid who can never pick up narcotic drugs at the pharmacy. an 18 year old kid who can never open a bank account.

She’s likely to be one of those kids who stay in the parents home for the rest of her life. Pretty sad...no future...no hope...all because she just doesn’t have an ID. The only bright spot? Maybe some court system can toss out the voter ID law, and at least allow her to vote....and hope that mom or dad can drive her to the voting station. If they can’t....she will be denied a chance to vote because of lack of transportation (which ought to be brought up as the next major problem in America).

[petitfour]

No buses in San Antonio? No friends or relatives? How did she travel to DC?

[4rcane]

You have 4 years to get the ID!!! Every democratic system have a dead line to register and vote. I think US is the only democratic country with corruption in this process, where you could register and vote on the same day

[firedawg76]

What a bunch of nonsense!!!

#1, just getting a driver’s license does not automatically put you on anyone’s insurance policy unless Texas has some law requiring it that I’m unaware of.

#2, if her parents are too busy, they how is she going to get to the polls to vote?

More lying BS, just like Sandra FLUKE.

[shibumi]

"Getting a driver's license also is not an option, she said, because it would mean she and her sister would be added to her family's car insurance, a costly move. "

Bullcrap!

The possession of a driver's license in no way implies that you own a car, have access to or permission to drive a car.

The owner of the policy only pays for those people he/she lists as drivers of that vehicle. You can have twenty people living in the house, all with licenses, but if they're not listed, they're not covered.

Whoever got them to DC can damn well get them to the License Bureau or to the Voter Registration facility.

Remember that your girl who testified that Iraqi soldiers were throwing babies out of their incubators in Kuwait?

[Méabh]

So if I “don’t have time” to go to the DMV to update my driver’s license and plates, and I get in a car accident or pulled over for speeding, could I claim “disenfranchisement” if a cop asked to see my license? If I “don’t have time” to get my insurance in order, is it unreasonable for a cop to ask to see my papers? If I “don’t have time” to update my passport before traveling abroad, I should be allowed to come and go as I please without being harassed by airport personnel?

She’s not upset because the law treats her as an inferior. She’s mad because the law won’t treat her as a superior.

[monocle]

Hard facts make bad case law. Likewise, hard facts make bad legislation.

[expat1000]

Gee, I don’t have time to pay my income tax. Can I get an exemption or sumthin?

[fr_freak]

She said her parents are too busy to take her or her twin sister to get the new voter identification cards required by the law.

This is why the voting age should be 25. If this silly girl can't even figure out a way to get across town to the DMV, how in the **** are we to expect her to have enough knowledge and experience to help guide the direction of the country?

And, by the way, this is also why the 19th Amendment should be repealed. This girl was specifically trotted out for her sob story because roughly 51% of the country will be moved to tears by her ridiculous, anecdotal, illogical appeal to emotionalism. And the other 49% are afraid to point out how stupid she is because that would be "misogynistic".

[Lancey Howard]

Did she testify in English?

[Happy Rain]

I expect the dead to show up and complain how they are disenfranchised as well with a voter ID law...

...and we all know zombies don’t work and feed off other people—Democrat voters to be sure.

[Williams]

An adult, yet the excuse is their parents are “too busy” to take them for an ID.

You know the dems are going to invalidate these voter ID laws all across the country before the election.

[Ann Archy]

What a CROC!!! “Voter Fraud....it’s for the children”! She went from TEXAS to DC and she can’t go across town to get an ID?? PUHLEEZE!!! They really do think everyone is stupid.

[skr]

Her father never takes vacation time? She has no friends with cars?

Some states do require newly permitted teens to be added to the parents’ policy but Texas wasn’t listed as one of them in an article at http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2011/05/18/dont-hide-teen-driver-insurance-company/#ixzz20Otw7NE9

[blueyon]

This has to go on a list of one of the more stupid reasons why I can’t get voter ID........

[MagnoliaB]

What a bunch of BS! How does she get to the polls to vote if she’s that bad off for transportation?
