Well, in the same token how can you or anyone say that there are so many legit voters that are so down-trodden that they don't have any form of ID or utility bill or pay stub
YET they conveniently have a voter registration card?
FYI- in TX you need to bring your voter registration card to the polls in order to vote and if you forget to bring it or don't have it you have to show your....yup, ID or pay stub or utility bill in order to establish identity to vote.
As a side note, the local nightly news last week was showing clips of groups that oppose and support this measure doing their thing in Austin and the group featured opposing this law was an (illegal) immigrant advocacy group. Why this would even be an issue for them since immigrants can't vote (i'm sure they do though) made me go hmmmmmm....
