Their ID laws could backfire on them. Older folks...you know, the kind that vote GOP...are having a difficult time meeting the restrictive demands of these ID laws. Shucky darn!

If you actually read the story you would have learned that he actually received a voter I.D card.

Plus, trying to get a voter ID using a Texas driver’s license that expired in 2010 and a TCU faculty ID was not the smartest thing in the world.

Of course this is a total Democrat Bullshit story...

from the unread attached article

"Wright and his assistant, Norma Ritchson, went to the DPS office on Woodway Drive to get a State of Texas Election Identification Certificate. Wright said he realized earlier in the week that the photo identifications he had — a Texas driver’s license that expired in 2010 and a TCU faculty ID — do not satisfy requirements of the voter ID law, enacted in 2011 by the Legislature. DPS officials concurred."

Another great difference between the Republican Party of old (the once GOP) and the Republican Party which now exists is this: Then the GOP was opposed to national ID cards and today "show me your papers" has become part of their platform.

Because more votes are cast in Democrat districts than there are registered voters, so ID is a good common sense protection against fraud

Well I hope everyone who tries to get voter id cards with unacceptable proof would be turned away.

What is wrong with simply complying with the law?
