Texas’ Strict ID Law Disenfranchises More than Half a Million Voters,
Mostly Poor and Minorities

Is anyone seriously going to say there are 600,000 US citizens in
Texas who have never driven a car, never got a passport and never
needed an ID to get public assistance, cash a social security check or
a tax refund check, opened a bank account or filled a prescription,
saw a doctor, haven't been on a plane for the last 13 years and have
no way to get down to the DMV or the voter bureau to get an ID card?

I think the myth of the disenfranchised voter is far more unlikely
than voter fraud.
I know that if they beat the bushes long enough they occasionally do
find some 90 year old spinster who doesn't get social security, public
assistance, doesn't file taxes, doesn't drive and lives with her kids
but why don't THEY drive her down to DMV and get her an ID card. It is
free.

Well, of course, because there's no way you righties can hang on without
disenfranchisement.
