“...which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification.”
EBT Card? WICC Voucher? SNAP Card?
Wisconsin just got screwed over on Voter ID, too.
How I loathe these pukes, legislating from the bench.
Are low-income, blacks and hispanics so incapable of getting ID to allow them to vote? I would be so damn insulted.
Ignore it and ask for the Supreme Court to hear it as an emergency before Election Day
Heads on Pikes or we lose our Nation.
You have to have a valid ID to get approved for EBT.
Everyone on EBT , ergo, already HAS a valid ID.
I guess Julio Mohammed Marlboro can just show up with a pack of smokes.
Governor Abbot/Donald Trump, please pick up the white courtesy phone!
Team Hillary/Soros is setting up for a massive illegal alien invasion at the polls. Who didn’t see THIS coming, LIKE 8 YEARS AGO?
Equality under the law. The law applies the same to everyone. They should be required to “show harm” has happened. I thought that was the standard.
They cannot demonstrate harm yet they KNOW there’s fraud that would be stopped.
Simply disgusting partisan ruling.
So how does Caitlyn Jenner register to vote? BTW He’s a Republican.
This is absurd, considering that Texas provides FREE voter ID cards for anyone who somehow manages to get through life without any other acceptable photo ID.
“Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters.”
Not to mention illegal aliens and those registered in multiple states.
Good grief. We allow SEVEN forms of ID. What more do they want? Oh, wait, it’s not about ID but about the vote early, vote often crowd.
I’m at the point of removing all forms of ID in order to vote. Then let the conservatives vote hundreds of time each.
Maybe they can allow them to show one of their seven Obamaphones.
“We are extremely pleased with this outcome. This law will no longer prevent eligible voters from casting a ballot this November,” attorney Gerry Herbert, a member of the legal team that challenged the law, said following Wednesday’s ruling.”
How would you know if a person is eligible if you don’t know who the person is?
When you register to vote here (Round Rock Texas)or at least when I did in 2014 they give you a voter card that you are supposed to bring to the polls.
Just as I said about the recent Wisconsin ruling, Texas should completely ignore that treasonous federal court/judge.
It should be reversed when it gets to the Supreme Court, or at least it would have been if we weren’t stuck with a deadlocked court. As it is, Texas will probably have to appeal after the election once a Trump appointee gets seated in order to get this reversed.
Can we start suing against all laws requiring ID? I need to show ID to get a mortgage, buy Sudafed, and a whole host of other things. If voter ID laws discriminate, so does everything else.
How do we start this.
