Voter ID law?

This post is a response to Carrie Sander's blog post called "Texas voter ID is a must".

There is not need to for to criticize this article because I partly believe this as well. I just wanted to comment and add some stuff to it and some better reasons why we should attain this law.

Carrie talked about how the Republican party says we need voter ID's and how the Democrats say thats discrimination to the minorities. In my opinion its not discrimination at all. I truly think at least in the state of Texas they should make people show some sort of ID when voting. How do you know that someone isn't just using someone else's voter registration card and taking their vote, because they do not want to vote themselves. Having an ID to vote is a completely logical way of helping stop voter fraud.

When the voters say it will hurt the "minorities", they mostly mean the Hispanics. The reason for that is "Texas added 4 million people to its population between 2000 and 2010, he said, and 90 percent of them were Hispanics." said in this Times Union article. Everyone knows that a lot of those immigrants did not come here legally. Their is a huge chance that some of the illegals are using some of our own citizens voting cards. Then they have the excuse that a lot of the poor people can't buy ID's. Do y'all know how much a Driver's license cost? Around $20 and all these people are trying to tell me that these people without Driver's licenses are not driving already? Even if these people are poor the majority of them probably drive to work and that means without a drivers license. So by making people who want to vote have an ID it could also decrease on the amount of unlicensed drivers as well.


 The only reason why the Democrats don't want the voter bill is, because they will lose some of their minority votes that they would need to win any of the elections. No matter how you see it, most people could see that this is not just a good idea, but needs to happen. I hope this bill gets passed.
