Court Tosses Texas Voter ID Out

[Hutch Starskey]

You ID on registration . And you can show all kinds of IDS to vote . These laws try to create hurdles by demanding a specific kind of ID.

It's cleary an attempt to surpress votes .

As the court ruled. It violates the Voting Rights Act.

Texas voter ID law discriminates against minorities, court rules

It's one thing to require voter ID, but what ID is required is a whole other thing. Texas passed a law that clearly disriminated against the poor and the elderly.

Republicans have been seeking to pass these laws, but there is no evidence that this type of voter fraud is even a problem, and much evidence that it isn't.

I'm poor and have always had an id even if it was just a 5$ state ID card

Would that be allow you to vote in Texas? The law was tossed by one of the most conservative courts in the US.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Almost every nation on earth requires an ID, you need one to get on a plane, use a credit card, use a check, use my San Diego Zoo pass, etc etc.

But I can just walk into a polling place and say I'm so and so here to vote.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Texas' strict voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act and ordered changes before the November election.

The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals instructs a lower court to make changes that fix the "discriminatory effect" of the 2011 law, but to do so in a way that disrupts this year's election season as little as possible.

President Barack Obama's administration took the unusual step of deploying the weight of the U.S. Justice Department into the case when it challenged the law, which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification. The state and other supporters say the Texas law prevents fraud. Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters.

The law has been in force for 4 elections, there have been no mass complaints. This decision will be appealed and I doubt it will affect the Nov elections.

Actually it was ordered to be rectified by Nov.

You're full of shit, they require the same documents it takes to get a drivers license or State ID and a State ID is all that is required to vote. They don't take college IDs because many college students aren't legal residence of the State.

Stop whining. This is the US not every other nation on earth. Get that through your thin skull.

Except when libs want to make it more like rest of the world to suit their needs

Liberals declared in the past as well that no such evidence existed...and each time evidence is presented libs change their argument to 'Not ENOUGH Evidence'...

Actually they are. Most states accept six months as being a resident. How many months is a school year?

Obama beat Romney by nearly six million votes. Can you show fraud to a degree that would have altered that outcome?

That will be stayed on appeal.

Doesn't matter, they would have to change drivers licenses and establish State residency, most out of State students don't do that. The same for military. The first time I lived in TX I was military and maintained my TN residency, even though I owned a home in TX. I had to vote absentee in TN.

I can show where fraud altered a local election and it only took two fraudulent votes to do it.

Probably shouldn't worry about them then. Oh wait, they tend to vote Democrat. Better include them. You might be starting to get it.

Not if you believe in the 10th Amendment, the States are responsible for running their own elections.
