Yep. My wife is a minority and an immigrant. She has an ID and does not mind showing it when need be. Why should this be different for anyone else?

A fact well worth exploring, I would not turn a blind eye to this possibility. What do you suggest to stop voter fraud?

Fluff of the uninformed.

What if I don't have a driver's license, personal identification number, OR a social security number? Can I still register to vote in Texas?

A voter who has not been issued a driver’s license or social security number may register to vote, but such voter must submit proof of identification when presenting himself/herself for voting or with his/her mail-in ballots, if voting by mail. These voters’ names are flagged on the official voter registration list with the annotation of “ID.” The “ID” notation instructs the poll worker to request a proper form of identification from these voters when they present themselves for voting. Acceptable identification includes:

a driver's license or personal identification card issued to the person by the Department of Public Safety or a similar document issued to the person by an agency of another state, regardless of whether the license or card has expired;
a form of identification containing the person's photograph that establishes the person's identity;
a birth certificate or other document confirming birth that is admissible in a court of law and establishes the person's identity;

United States citizenship papers issued to the person;

a United States passport issued to the person;

official mail addressed to the person by name from a governmental entity;

a copy of a current utility bill,

bank statement,

government check,

paycheck,

or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter

; or any other form of identification prescribed by the Secretary of State.

My (minority) cousin moved there from Seattle and really likes it. She found a good paying job and enjoys the year round sunshine. The heat in the summer, of course, might be a bit much.

Re-read that. "Under Texas' law, Holder noted, a concealed handgun license would serve as acceptable ID to vote, but a student ID would not. ".

Having to have ID to purchase and own (and conceal) a firearm is also not a Constitutional requirement and yet it is required.

Where in the US Constitution does it say you are required to have ID to use your second amendment rights?*

*this is not a real question, it's a statement about the logic of the questions you posed. I see no reason that a State should not be able to require Id to verify citizenship and name just like any other governmental transaction above buying stamps. In regards to Federal elections, I think we might agree that the situation gets a little sticker legally speaking.

Exactly. If anywhere has some extra construction equipment that can be used for cleanup, its the great Unites States of America.

Whiners need not apply.

Bacause they caused it....

I'm bracing. Bracing myself. Braces everywhere. Wait, I've never had braces before.

You can buy Ammo online or anywhere else without ID.
