TX Repub AG Defrauds TX on 'Voter Fraud' in Response to DoJ Lawsuit Against Polling Place Photo ID



Texas AG Defrauds Texas in Response to DoJ Lawsuit Against Polling Place Photo ID Law

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the state of Texas under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The complaint was filed in hopes of blocking the state's polling place Photo ID restriction law, newly re-enacted by TX Attorney General Greg Abbott just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the very heart of the VRA (the Section 4 formula used to determine jurisdictions covered by its Section 5 preclearance requirements for new voting laws) last June.

How did the TX AG respond to the DoJ suit on his website yesterday? You gotta see it to believe it…

You do not have to show a voter ID to vote by absentee ballot. See what I mean about Gregg Abbott not being able to read to the end of a sentence? His vicious law would do diddle squat to stop this.

And as far as picture ID’s being free, that’s true. They are free as long as you have $21 for a certified birth certificate and all day to stand in line at the DMV.

"...and all day to stand in line at the DMV."

And a ride to get there -- sometimes as much as 250 miles away -- because, remember, you don't have a drivers license either!
