DC: A federal court passed a vote on a Texas voter identification law Tuesday which requires voters to present an accepted photo ID card.
In a two to one majority, a panel of the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals voted to allow Texas to use the revised voter ID measure — known as SB 5 — for the upcoming November elections. With this ruling, the court officially stayed a lower judge’s ruling barring Texas from implementing a revised version of its voter identification law.
This vote puts an end to U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos’s prior order, which allowed those without an accepted ID to vote by signing a sworn declaration stating they have a reasonable barrier to obtaining one. MORE
HAH!!!!
Texas – getting it right since 1836.
🙂
If the same were applied to California Hillary would easily have lost the popular vote as well. State’s rights not withstanding, we need a federal standard to get control of this corruption.
proud of my state. This should be an blueprint for a federal law.
I went to Wells Fargo (the Bank of Northern Mexico) yesterday to make a deposit and get some cash. The Hispanic teller asked me for my driver’s license. The one that the State of Colorado requires me to have in order to drive a vehicle. The one with my photograph on it. Eighty percent of the employees in this bank are Hispanic, and fifty percent of the customers are from Mexico. All of the customers had to show a photo ID to get some money. Why is it even an issue (that’s a problem in the rest of the world) for something as important as voting? Because the Democrats want illegal aliens voting in our elections. It has always been that simple.
It sounds like people without ID can still vote if they sign a statement that getting ID was too much of a burden.
Does this accomplish the goal of stopping ineligible voters?
Why should I care who votes?
When I decide who is on the ballot?
Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos. That says it all.
@TaxPayor; I think the Democrats worry that if an illegal were to try and vote without that filling out a form and signing it (perhaps having to put their address and other information down such as family) in the presence of electoral officials while being limited by language will scare way too many of them away from the polls.
Just like an INFOMERCIAL, these people can’t seem to get a Wisconsin I.D. no matter how hard they try.

Just utter nonsense. Everyone else can get one just fine. If democrats can drive people to the polls and pay them, they can drive them to the D.M.V. and pay for their license.
Garbage excuse-making.
