Texas House Passes Voter ID

Texas House passes voter id bill, following the Senate's lead in January. I think Governor "Adios, Mo-Fo" will sign it.

There's only one reason it's controversial, and one reason only. Unidentified voters (and non-residents, and even dead people) vote for Democrats.

That is really the only. Damned. Reason. It is controversial. Not "disenfranchisement". Not the cost. None of that crap.

There's only one reason.

Incidentally, this issue (well, it was the major one), the Texas Tea-Partiers were really pissed off about it with Speaker of the House Joe Straus from the last legislative session. They campaigned mightily (but unsuccessfully) to have him tossed out of that job, claiming he sabotaged the last attempt.

This one is no longer an issue.
