Feds Block Taxas Law Requiring Picture ID

I have to show a picture ID to get a driver’s license; to buy insurance; to buy a pack of cigarettes; to get into certain buildings, INCLUDING Eric Holder’s Justice Dept. building. To do many things: so many things, in fact, that I no longer even think about showing it. Everybody gets ONE VOTE. But nobody is required to show “proof of ID” to exercise that right; to PROVE they are, in fact, who they are, and to guard against voting many times. A person could go from voting place to voting place voting many times, and I’m sure some do, without this requirement, which is simply a way of VERIFYING their identity. Except in Texas (and Indiana), where there’s a law requiring picture ID to be allowed to vote. Or there was, until Eric Holder, an un-elected bureaucrat, decided to BLOCK that requirement. What are the Democrats AFRAID of? That stealing elections will be harder for them to accomplish? They SAY it would be “hard on Hispanics.” Do they mean those Hispanics who are here illegally who CAN’T legally GET a picture ID? (Reuters)
