No ID Means No Vote

Now when you go up to cast your ballot for the next election, you just might find yourself being asked for your ID. This article posted in the Texas Tribune, the Texas legislature is pushing forward the law to enforce this act. However, the coalition argues that this bill " targets minority, and senior voters." The article further goes on saying that this would affect others who " do not have the financial wherewithal as thier counterparts". In truth this bill will be passed, and come in law as early as January.

We, as in the class, discussed this topic not too long ago talking about whether or not this was acceptable to enforce on local Texans. For me, please don't bash me here, think this might just not be a bad idea. I mean it would help limit the fraud that might possibly take place come election time. The article did mention that there wasn't much of criminal activity taking place at the polls, and that those who were caught haven't even been punished. The only question is, once this bill is passed, will it affect the amount of voters that come out to cast thier ballots?
