Justice Department files objection to Texas voter ID law
Associated Press (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/12/justice-department-files-objection-to-texas-voter-id-law/#ixzz1ouzFZPMp)
What's next? A lawsuit from the state that takes a decade to make it's way through the courts?
-
The Justice Department is objecting to a new photo ID law in Texas for voters, saying the state has failed to demonstrate that the the law is not discriminatory by design against Hispanic voters.
EH? The only thing I see it doing is keeping the illegal immigrants from voting. Which I believe they did in 2008? Some liberal judge agrees with Obama.
-
What % of those Hispanic registered voters who don't have an id actually vote, because the number would drop dramatically I would imagine.
The state just needs to break down that data. Voting records are public documents. So are records of individuals who have a state issued ids. Do your homework Texas.
-
About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification.
Perez added that the number of people lacking any personal ID or driver's license issued by the state ranges from from 603,892 to 795,955, but of that span, 29-38 percent of them are Hispanic.
"According to the state's own data, a Hispanic registered voter is at least 46.5 percent, and potentially 120.0 percent, more likely than a non-Hispanic registered voter to lack this identification," Perez wrote.

The DOJ is suing/blocking the Texas law in order for them to prove a negative, specifically:
the state has failed to demonstrate that the the law is not discriminatory by design
And as you are well aware, you cannot disprove a negative. Sorry, but the burden of proof should be on the DOJ that this IS in fact discriminatory and that DOJ, not the state, needs to back up their assertions with facts.
Your ball.

I've always been asked for pic ID before I get a voting ballot ? Majority of the time that person knows me.

How does Mexico handle it's elections and voter ID laws?
Mexico, is often cited as an example when the subject of Voter I.D. cards is discussed. Indeed, The Mexican Voter I.D. card has nine security characteristics, including a fingerprint, a photograph, watermarks and holograms. What is more, in Mexico, the lists of electors that are distributed to political parties include the photo and the full name and address of the electors.
Mexico implemented a Voter I.D. card in 1990 in the wake of a vast reform begun twenty years earlier to clean up electoral practices. In particular, this reform gave rise to the creation of the Federal electoral institute (FEI), an independent electoral commission, as well as a series of legislative and administrative measures. According to Mr. José Woldenberg Karakowsky, FEI president, the integrity and transparency of elections required drastic measures. These measures must be seen, according to Mr. Karakowsky, as the response to the historical "unreliability" of Mexico’s electoral process.

and why is that? Because they are illegal or just plain too lazy to apply for a state issued ID?

They look so cute all dressed up like that, so big, so strong, so brave...why don't they try that in the deep south?

I wonder if they will make a return appearance this year?

Of course they will now that they know holder has their back.

I wouldn't bet on it making much of a difference. States where this would happen would go blue anyway. When Obama does lose, the new AG won't be as forgiving...

Dude on the left is a big time racist agitator, in the vein of "The black society".

I hope that the new AG investigates Holder.

How dare those mexicans insist that voters have a picture ID card to vote in mexican elections ?
-
If you don't want to get a state ID or If you cannot afford an ID card, how about we let you go down to the local precinct in your district and pick up a free copy of your rap sheet.
This will carry all pertinent information such as photo, proof of address and anything else that may or may not be required by your local election board. :rotf:

Racism is quite pervasive in Mexico.

I'd love to see Perry say "screw you" and tell the state to proceed as planned.
I view this as a 10th amendment issue.

It unquestionably is, since states are given the Constitutional authority to hold their own elections. Further, since some states CAN have voter ID laws (such as IN, among others) without getting DOJ approval, it could be argued that citizens of the states that are required to get DOJ approval do not enjoy equal protection under the law that their vote will count.

There is a big deal over Texas because Obama will need the illegal immigrant vote to get re-elected. I wouldn't be surprised if they bus people over from Mexico just to vote.

The State of GA gives FREE voter ID cards to registered voters who do not have ID.
The new Texas law also has provisions for free voter eligibility certificates. You can also use your drivers license, passport, concealed handgun permit, voter registration card ...

I'd be surprised if you weren't 100% correct.

Last year, or the year before (whenever we voted for Perry last) I couldn't find my voters registration card to vote, I showed the polling place my DL and I could vote. Seriously, it makes it so much easier.

Part of the problem is they can't ask for ID now. Hell I used my business card one year when I forgot my wallet.

I more often then not don't take my voter registration card to the polling place. My DL and a check of the voter registration rolls are good enough to get a ballot.
like I said I have to show an ID to get a ballot and theses folks know me. The voting place is a Baptist church building :p
