Texas gets it right

From FOX/Associated Press:
Texas House Passes Bill Requiring Voters to Show Photo ID
The Texas House has approved a bill requiring residents to show photo identification before voting amid complaints from Democrats who say it's designed to erect hurdles for poor and minority voters.

The legislation cleared the House 101-48 Wednesday night after more than 11 hours of debate in which Democrats repeatedly tried to derail it.

The measure has sparked anger and partisan bickering ever since Republican Gov. Rick Perry put it on the fast track at the beginning of the legislative session in January. GOP lawmakers say it's necessary to prevent voter fraud. Democrats contend the bill is aimed at poor and minority voters who are less likely to have state-issued identification cards.

Republican lawmakers in several other states are pushing similar legislation this year.
It is sad how far the Democratic party has fallen from the days of John F. Kennedy. Back then, you were expected to work and contribute to society.

Now the Dems have cast their lot in with the zero-liability voters and the untermenschen and as long as the Dems keep handing out entitlement programs, they keep getting the votes of these people. Posted by DaveH at March 24, 2011 10:16 AM
