This really stick it to Liberals who like to vote a couple of times........Every state should have voter ID laws.


Appeals court reinstates Texas voter ID law

The ruling by a three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals allows the law to be used in the November election, despite a lower judge's ruling that the law is unconstitutional. The 5th Circuit did not rule on the law's merits; instead, it determined it's too late to change the rules for the election.
 
It's unconstitutional, which the majority of all the judges who have seen it agree....but now it's too late, so we're going forward with it.




And you claim victory?





Congratulations, I guess?

Thanks..........All I know is in the November election the voters in Texas will be required to show ID and that is a good thing.
 
Wanna see what Republicans truly believe about voting issues? Couple voter-ID laws with a law that allows people to register to vote when they get their driver's licenses and you will watch Republicans run away faster than a kid chasing an ice cream truck. The reality is....Republicans know that when more people vote they lose elections....which is why they try as hard as they possibly can to keep people from voting.
 
Good. Glad to hear it. Whenever anyone has an issue to proving who they are, in order to vote, thus influence our entire legal system, I have questions about their honesty and integrity. If voting is important to you, you shouldn't mind showing that you're doing it legitimately.

And I'm sure you have dead solid proof of this national wide-spread problem going on don't you? You're gonna pull it up for me right?

Great point as usual Lizzie, thank you.:2wave:

Not in a million years will he do that my friend.

How is it unconstitutional? I have a right to keep and bear arms. There's nothing in the 2nd Amendment about a background check, or having to produce an ID to purchase a firearm.

We have that law here in Ohio. John Kasich, our republican governor thinks it's great.

Do you have dead solid proof that in-person voter fraud is even a real-world problem in Texas?

Only dead people and illegal aliens. Anyone else? Git after it!

I don't have to, see the other guy.

If there's no illegal voting, then a voter ID law shouldn't be a problem...right?

If there is no in-person voter fraud then what purpose does such a law serve? How would a voter ID law mitigate such a problem even if it did exist?

Exactly- an excellent point. It is my right to buy a gun, but I am required to not only show ID, but also go through a federal background check. Let's see how that would go if it were a voting rights issue.

First off, Awesome news !!

If voter ID pisses off Liberals this much thats justification enough for implementing it every State in the Union.

There's only one reason it does cause them so much grief is it's a first line of defense against voter fraud.

There's a good reason this is a Political issue.

Fraud that they rely on to win elections because honestly, they cannot win any other way.

How can it be unconstitutional when the voter ID's are free? If I recollect right every state that offered free voter ID's, their law was ruled constitutional. My home state of Georgia is one of them.

Yeah, the ID I use to buy a gun? I paid for that mother****er!

That's nice.

Charging for an ID and then requiring that ID to vote is a poll tax, which is an explicit violation of the 24th Amendment.

I have to pay money to get a license, just to have a job and you expect me to worry about someone getting an ID for free?

This in absolutely no way refutes (or even has dick-all to do with) anything I posted.
