Supreme Court allows Texas voter ID law for now

[Teddy B 17,252]

We need a national ID. Uniform documentary standards, no point of service cost (can be funded through a surtax of some kind). Once everyone has it, require they use it to vote.

This state by state thing is unbelievably stupid.

Exactly!

Dude, it's Texas.. What did you expect?

Exactly!

[Teddy B 17,252]

We should return Texas to Mexico as a friendly gesture.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Why so much hatred for Mexico? Don't they have enough trouble as it is already?

Some friend you are...

The ID picture ID proves you are who you say you are. Verifying the voter registration enrollment proves citizenship. Nice try at a deflection.

BTW A military ID would not prove citizenship. But do prattle on

[Curmudgeon 227]

Ok.....

Nor will I. I think it's a bad road to travel, having to have an ID card. Next we'll be required to carry it at all times. I blame Obuma for this!

How so? Round here we just go to our town hall, give our name and address and boom, we're registered to vote. We can even register by mail, no id needed.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Sometimes, it's like fishing in a barrel, isn't it?

The only proof of citizenship that should be acceptable is a valid US passport.

I am still calling BS on their feigned attempt to solve a problem that doesn't exist... :rofl:

Which one? If we're talking about something that proves I'm an American citizen, I believe my passport cost me a little over $200.

here a state ID is $20, and it states citizen, lpr, organ donor...etc on it.

It still doesn't address fraud.

Citizenship is not under the purview of the states, therefore a state issued ID, has not validity as proof of citizenship. DLs and ID can be counterfeit, are prone to errors, which in essence defeats the purpose of the legislation.

The only picture IDs that provides proof of citizenship are valid US passport and the certificate of naturalization.

I got the card. It's easier when driving across the border. You're in a southern state, you never drive into Mexico?

[JohnR! 5,495]

True. Passport card is the 3rd form of ID that should be accepted as proof of citizenship.
