Voter ID

The Justice Department has struck down a law to require voter ID in Texas, because many Hispanic voters lack state issued ID. Basically they are saying the law is racist. Is there anything that is not racist?

Yes, there are legal, bonafide residents in Texas that do not have identification. Do they vote? Probably not. Are there illegal residents in Texas that will vote? Absolutely. Dead people vote in Chicago.

It is hard for me to understand how anyone 18 years or older can function without a valid ID. You have to have one to cash a check, use a credit card, get on an airplane, drive a car (legally), present if questioned by police or most importantly to buy beer. I do not know if identification is required to draw welfare, get free medical care or food stamps. Apparently not. I know I have to present my insurance and driver’s license when I go to the doctor, and if I have to write a check at the grocery they want my license too.

A number of years ago I went into a movie rental store. The young lady asked me for identification before I could rent a movie. I showed her my gun license. She never asked me again. I always got really good service at that store.

It really ticks me off that anyone would say it is unfair to ask for an ID to vote. However it may be useful. I always tell people to vote and vote often. Now they can.

What I don’t know is how many times can you vote in one day.
