New Texas voter ID law discriminates, federal judge rules

[radical right]

maybe use a phone and find out ahead of time what to bring? I don't know, if someone is so senile they can't exist, perhaps voting isn't a good thing.

Wright brought the same exact ID's that he used the previous time he voted. But they were no longer good enough.

dude, I've posted it three times in here already.

Post it one more time, and show where you can register with just a utility bill.

Don't know how to use Google, do you?

What Do I Bring to Vote? - Disability Rights Texas

Registered voters may use one of the seven (7) forms of photo ID currently required by Texas voter ID law:

• Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
• Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
• Texas personal identification card issued by DPS
• Texas license to carry a handgun issued by DPS
• United States military identification card containing the person’s photograph
• United States citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph
• United States passport

Register voters who do not have one of the above seven (7) IDs:


1) May use one of the following forms of ID:

• Valid voter registration certificate
• Certified birth certificate
• current utility bill
• bank statement
• government check
• paycheck
• any other government document that displays your voter's name and an address

AND


2) MUST complete and sign a simple statement (officially called a "reasonable impediment declaration") that says the person was not able to obtain one of the seven (7) required forms of ID.


NOTE: A voter's reason for not obtaining an ID cannot be questioned by election offficials. After asking a voter if he or she has one of seven (7) IDs, elections officials cannot question or challenge voters about why they coud not obtain an ID.


With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship certificate, the approved photo ID must be current or have expired no more than four (4) years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling site.



Yes, you CAN use a utility bill, but only if you don't have the required ID, but in addition to presenting your utility bill, you also have to sign a statement saying that you were unable to obtain the required ID, and the voter registration people can't ask you why you didn't get an ID.

And, I made it easy for you by underlining the pertinent parts.

again, that's all hearsay and has no value other than your post of something that isn't verified. an opinion.

Voter ID does not stop the types of voter fraud which occur.

That the rubes have yet to catch on to this fact is simply hilarious.

This Voter ID thing is a stupid gimmick to keep the Tard Herd mesmerized and beholden to their puppeteers.

it's just not true. everyone who is of age to vote needs an ID to exist in this country. Period. to say 4% don't have ID's is just a lie. They would never get healthcare, welfare, or drivers license. you have to have an ID to get a job. you have to have an ID to do almost anything in the country to exist. bullshit!!!!! can you say Bullshit louder? BULLSHIT

You are talking out of your ass. There are quite a few elderly who do not have a current ID. Once the social security checks start coming in, there is no reason to get a new ID. Once you give up driving, there is no reason to get a new driver's license.

Those old people you see being shuttled about in buses by their assisted living facilities? They don't have current IDs.

see post #162.

Yes, you CAN use a utility bill, but only if you don't have the required ID, but in addition to presenting your utility bill, you also have to sign a statement saying that you were unable to obtain the required ID,

If a voter does not have any of the above listed forms of ID, the voter will be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. The voter will have (six) 6 days to present proper identification to the county registrar.

The voting place is within walking distance. How far away is the country registrar? And how much time and money is it going to cost to get there?

Texas made voting easy Jim. Wright?

Maybe it's provisional in your state, but it's counted as a regular vote in TX if you use your utility bill. Voting laws vary from state to state, and what I posted in #162 is what the current rules are for TX.

It is a fact that more people are disenfranchised by restrictive voter ID laws than there is fraud prevented by these same ID laws. Once those statistics are reversed I've got no problem with restrictive ID laws.

no that isn't fact, that's made up. thanks for trying though. you wish to debate, post something. right now, if any adult needs to eat, they must have an ID. now you wish to challenge that?

It is a fact. Studies show anywhere from 2-11% of the populace does not have the required ID for some of the most restrictive laws. Statistics for voter fraud, and that's all voter fraud not just fraud that would be stopped by having an identification presented at the polls, fall below 1%.

How do those 2-11% function in our society without ID.? They don't!

That means they should not be voting!

It isn't they don't have any form of ID. It is that they don't have the restrictive form of ID required in some states. Many people get along fine without ID.

Did you know homeless people can vote?

hey yo genius, post a state requirement that wants more than this:

" "There are three requirements – name, photo and correct address,” "

5. Strict Photo ID Laws Explode Between 2004 and 2016

Among the many restrictive voting laws passed since 2010, the most burdensome are strict photo ID requirements, which permit voters to show only a small number of government-issued photo IDs in order to cast a ballot. Approximately 600,000 registered voters in Texas did not have acceptable IDs required under the original strict law, which has since been softened. Nationwide, approximately 11 percent of Americans lack government-issued photo ID, including a disproportionate number of people of color, seniors, and young people, according to one analysis.

Obviously the Corrupt Democratic Party is against protecting everyone's Right to Vote with common sense Voter ID laws because they are committing mass voter fraud and violating the Voting Rights of millions of American Citizens.

If you weren't such a huge liar, you'd be an even bigger liar.

Obviously Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos is a Racist Democrat who wants it to make it easy for illegal aliens to cancel-out the votes of American citizens.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Mexico must be some sort of racist country that hates Latinos because they require an ID to vote to prevent voter fraud.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The majority States have Voter ID laws and many are Blue States like CT, MI OH, CO, NM, DE and RI.
So why are the Democrats only opposed to Voter ID in the Red States?
Why is Voter ID not also "voter suppression" in the Blue States?

yeppers old Jim made it in with his birth certificate. He remembered where he was born perhaps and contacted a fking agency that his birth certificate. funny he was able to do that eh?again, ignorance is not a defense. keep telling yourself that.

Mexico must be some sort of racist country that hates Latinos because they require an ID to vote to prevent voter fraud.

and they send those that won't vote here to vote illegally.

This is interesting. I do not see how the law is overly restrictive with all of the alternatives to the ID itself.
