[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just give me a reasonable example of someone who can’t get an ID[/quote]

“Just how tough are new voter identification requirements in Texas? Apparently tough enough that former U.S. House speaker Jim Wright reportedly was denied a voter ID card on Saturday.

"Nobody was ugly to us, but they insisted that they wouldn't give me an ID," Wright, a Democrat who resigned from Congress in 1989, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in a story about his experience at a Texas Department of Public Safety office.

The 90-year-old told the newspaper he realized last week that he didn't have a valid ID to vote in Tuesday's elections. He said he was refused a voter ID card because his driver's license expired in 2010 and his faculty identification from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, where he teaches, doesn't meet requirements under the state law enacted in 2011.”

So you think that a man who was once third in line to the Presidency, just like Nancy Pelosi and Paul Ryan should be denied his right to vote because he's too old to have a driver's license as well as administrative BS. OK.

Truly the greatest country in the world. /s

He should have to follow the rules like anyone else.  Are you suggesting the elites get special privileges over ordinary people?   [/quote]
Those rules are completely unnecessary. Texas had ONE occurrence of in person voter fraud in the dozen years before this stupid legislation was passed.[/quote]
