Some people who are poor and live in rural areas can't afford to drive to get a voter ID which is why one Texas Democratic Lawmaker is asking for mobile ID stations to be available in rural communities.
If I lived in Texas I would support this. If the ID's are going to be mandated then make them easier to get. I would support this in any state for those hard to reach areas.

Its the same as getting your picture on your driver's license,
your gun license or your passport. The only objection is that it will reduce Democrat cheating.

@parados,
I realize that, but baldi tries to make it sound like a smaller number by saying it's only 2%. 600,000 is not small when even one vote is denied. That's my only point - about Texas voting.

@Baldimo,
The USSC has ruled that anything that puts a cost burden on the voter to vote is a poll tax which is unconstitutional. Unless the state is providing a free service to provide the ID required to vote it is a poll tax.

So maybe u claim that the oil companies
must give away free gasoline on Election Day ?
One of the reasons there are polling places in each neighborhood is so that normally ambulatory voters can walk to the polls. Myself, I don't recall ever driving somewhere to vote. I thought you'd be aware of that, David.

I always drove.
At the moment that a voter registers,
his picture can be taken n applied to his registration card FOR FREE.
The GOP will volunteer to pay for the pictures.

That can be arranged. If the State governments don t,
then the GOP will.

@Baldimo,
They're disenfranchised by design for a crime that doesn't get committed. What about the 40,000 FORTY THOUSAND missing registrations in North Carolina? What about Christie saying the GOP needs to keep their seats so that the GOP can continue to control votes?

@Baldimo,
Show us an example of the kind of voter fraud you're so fearful of. Just one.

@OmSigDAVID,
I didn't realize the government sold gas to consumers. Maybe you can explain when that started occurring.
Chuck Todd Asks A Question Even A Journalist Would Ask
"With calls for an Ebola czar flying left and right, some attention has been paid in the past couple weeks to the U.S.’s lack of a surgeon general, who has been awaiting confirmation for over a year in large part because Dr. Vivek Murthy earned the wrath of the NRA, which has successfully pressured senators to balk on his confirmation. On Sunday morning, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd challenged Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) to the defend the NRA’s “petty” actions.
“The president really ought to nominate people that can be confirmed to these jobs,” Blunt said. “Then we should confirm them.”
“Should the NRA have that much influence over a surgeon general nominee?” Todd asked. “He’s not going to make gun policy.”"* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
Just more proof our government is broken, and no amount of voting is going to change it. The majority of voters vote to reinstate the same reps; that's a fact of history.
