>Texas’ voter identification law violates the U.S. law prohibiting racial discrimination in elections, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. >The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed previous rulings that the 2011 voter ID law — which stipulates the types of photo identification election officials can and cannot accept at the polls — does not comply with the Voting Rights Act. >The full court's ruling delivered the strongest blow yet to what is widely viewed as the nation’s strictest voter ID law. Under the law, most citizens (some, like people with disabilities, can be exempt) must show one of a handful of types of identification before their ballots can be counted: a state driver's license or ID card, a concealed handgun license, a U.S. passport, a military ID card, or a U.S citizenship certificate with a photo.
I have to give proof of residency to get my child into school, get a library card or cable tv. I have to show birth certificate to get my kids in a sport. But showing id to vote, dats racysss.
Voter fraud at its best guys.
Julian Johnson
>some, like people with disabilities, can be exempt WHY ARE WE LETTING PEOPLE WITH DOWNS VOTE
Blake Fisher
What stops me from flying over to texas and voting for Trump ?
Daniel Richardson
RAPE TIME
literally and electionally
John Russell
>The full court's ruling delivered the strongest blow yet to what is widely viewed as the nation’s strictest voter ID law
that's complete bullshit, the Texas law was modeled after Indiana's, which supreme court upheld as constitutional
They are just reaffirming the difference in the races. Why cant blacks get a drivers license? Why cant they get concealed carry permits? Why cant they get other forms of photo id that ehite people easily get? If they cant get those things there is a reason why.
Thomas Bell
Absolutly nothing now kraut
Logan Edwards
You don't just walk in to any polling station and get and get a ballot handed to you. You have to register- then you can only vote in one specific place where your name is on their list. This changes nothing. Most niggers don't vote because when you register, you're now on a list for jury duty. Miss 3 jury summons and you get a warrant for your arrest.
Cooper Jenkins
Being a fucking white male
Dominic Gonzalez
I don't understand You go to the seats without documents?
Tyler Watson
>ASKING FOR ID BECAME A CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION
yeah, thats not what it says
James Perry
And what are the requisites for registering?
Easton Torres
yeah, indiana's is full fucking retard
i couldn't get their "secure" id based on some arbitrary bullshit and i'm white as fuck
Brandon Fisher
I thought we overturned this voter act shit.
Hudson Perry
Actually you do. You get what is called a "provisionary ballot" that is supposed to be set aside once verified later by someone saying "yeah, this person did have a right to vote".
Of course we all know that never will happen and those fake votes will be dumped in with all the others.
democrats can't win unless they cheat.
Jacob Ward
>democrats can't win unless they cheat
so prove it
Sebastian Brown
Pence is gonna make America go full retard
Andrew Myers
Over 18 Citizen of state Not a convicted criminal
John Morgan
>WHY ARE WE LETTING PEOPLE WITH DOWNS VOTE Where have you been? Democrats have been voting for years.
Aaron Martin
yep theres big money and anti white hatred at play here now goys, its unfortunately looking like the democratic option is slipping away faster than ever
i hope you are all armed
Jaxon Rogers
In texas they register you to vote when you get a driver's license. As is the case in most states in the US.
Ryder Cruz
delet this
Noah Brown
Maybe this can be used as precident to tell cops to fuck off when they ask for your ID
Because its racist to do that now.
Jackson Richardson
From what I remember you need to tick the box when you apply for a driver's license. That, or I might be confusing it with Florida's. I remember wondering why the form didn't ask me for a party affiliation when I got my Texas DL.
Luke Diaz
Not anymore. The latest push is "Criminals have rights too"
Virginia's governor issued an executive order granting every former convict in the state voting rights back
Sebastian Nguyen
its normally opt out i think
states where you have to declare a party are pretty fucked though so it wouldn't surprise me if their shit is backwards
Ryan Howard
>go to bar >order a drink >'May I see your ID please?' >WOW RACIST SHITLORD I CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW
I want someone to explain to me how in the hell asking for ID is, or has ever been racist. Like, fucking hell, it takes almost no effort to get some kind of identification up here, I cant imagine it being much more complicated down in Burgerland. All these courts are saying is that spics and niggers are either lazy sacks of shit, criminals who shouldnt be there to start with, or both. No sane person can equate ID cards to racism, yet you have these retards on your courts.
Christian Rogers
>Texas’ voter identification law violates the U.S. law prohibiting racial discrimination in elections >requiring an ID to vote is racist
Chase Jenkins
Got to let that illegal mexican majority vote!
This is why texit is such a bad idea, these mexican shits will simply vote to have Texas returned to shit mexico.
Adam Thompson

Carson Ortiz
we're just going to have to start paying tacos to vote red.
how much is your vote worth mr taco?
Anthony Nelson
>not realizing this is how voting is already handled
we legalized bribery a while back
Jose Moore
Thank god
Don't worry guys in place for November
Supreme Court will overrule the 9th circuit and uphold the law
Lucas Rogers
So asking for ID when you buy booze at the store is just fine, as is when an officer stops you. but asking for ID when you vote is just too much. TOP KEKed.
Michael Adams
>India has over a billion people in it >Every single person of legal age has a voter ID card I want to start the day of the rope now please
Michael Thomas
um you sure about that? or are you sarcastic
Ethan Diaz
This always completely baffled me. To vote I have to show TWO government issued IDs AND proof of residency. I also HAVE to be registered to vote. How can you have a voting system that doesn't make sure ppl that vote are who they say they are AND that they are still breathing to vote themselves.
Kevin Brown
Doubtful, we will have a split
Kayden Stewart
The person who brings the case is the plantiff
They will ask the Supreme Court and the court will deny because the obvious reason to repeal sb14 is to load the election results
This won't be an issue unless the Supreme Court blocks it for the midterms or some other election between now and 2018
Asher Flores
no they don't, they use finger print with dye
Ian Martinez
The state will give you an ID card for free if you ask for one, I had one before I had a driver's license.
Luke Lopez
>you actually have the right to vote without any personal identification
Shit I can just drive around and vote 10 times. What the fuck is wrong with your laws?
Ryan Evans
Because that's how democrats get elected Here in Florida every single Presidential election the main Disney characters(mickey and whatnot) all magically vote for the Democrat that is running. Cheating is what they do
Matthew Myers
>a bunch of shit required by a private organiZations for random activities that have nothing to do with government being compared to documents the party in power knows not everyone has being required to exercise a fundamental right You can do better
Benjamin Young
Thats how they vote you idiot They all have voter ID cards and are not allowed to vote until it's presented
Kayden Garcia
>The majority also affirmed the lower court's finding that Texas' "lackluster educational efforts resulted in additional burdens on Texas voters." Wow. They expect this to hold up? Their entire argument is based on the idea that Texan minorities are too dumb to have ID.
Nathan Rogers
LEL, look at the counties that had like over 100% vote for Obama
Bentley Cook
Eat shit commie
Jason Powell
its what i said it was
there aren't
Carter Young
Democrats/leftists/progressives are more racist than we Sup Forumslacks could ever hope to be
Dylan Gonzalez
Because liberals in America believe the ends justify the means
If letting. A bunch of illegal votes is better for them then that's what they will fight for
In my state (Maryland), we have a full week of early voting. You can vote at any EV location and they accept same-day registration with no proof other than a signed affidavit that you are who you say you are.
Isaac Baker
Am I the only one who mail votes, nobody ever mentions it for some reason? Fuck those lines
David Russell
>not a convinced felon Convicted felons can vote in Maryland now too.
>it's a "someone not living in the 50's thinks commie is an insult" thread
Ryder Gomez
Just because you don't have ID doesn't mean you can vote retards. They literally sit there and double check if your name is on the list of registered voters before they let you vote.
Unless somebody knows exactly who has or hasn't voted it would be extremely hard to pull off voter fraud on a massive scale.
T. Texan
Nolan James
Who are you to deny the voting rights of millions of corpses??
Jaxon Jackson
Voting is not a fundamental right, actually. And a driver's license is a much more essential document that is also regulated by the government.
Grayson Cook
facts don't belong here
this is Sup Forums
Logan Sanders
>It's a liberal doesn't think commie is an appropriate insult for filthy pinkos thread
Caleb Scott

Obviously you have no idea about all the dead people that still managed to vote from the grave.
Ayden Rodriguez
>commies killed 100 million people last century
>this nigga doesn't think it's an insult
It's like calling somebody a lazy thief and a parasite
Not thinking it's an insult says a lot about you
Ryder Gomez
Why is Kansas' Voter ID law still constitutional but not Texas'?
Carter Green
>it was real in my mind
Josiah Fisher
they all vote absentee though. how do voter id laws stop that? oh right, they dont.
Leo Howard
Court of appeals is liberal (never knew why it just is)
So this will go to the Supreme Court and it will be found constitutional
The plantiff already requested the law be stayed for the election but the scotus said "no"
Christopher Roberts
...
Carson Bailey
Why does nobody talk about this, you don't have to have a driver's license to have ID. You just get a fucking ID card.
it's a site that slings gold and survivalist crap. why would it be unbiased?
Camden Lewis
It's bullshit that federal courts can supplant the will of the people.
Ethan Garcia
Civil rights are not up for debate
Luis Harris
Looks fair and balanced to me
Gabriel Moore
>its fine if the will of the people want to violate the constitution
naa, we've already had this fight
Lincoln Parker
you clearly don't understand texas or based hotwheels abbot
we're going to keep requiring ID until the supreme court rules against it and we;ll keep doing it even after that until the president finds the balls to stop us.
also >implying it would be enough to flip Texas.
Nathan Allen
You might be a fucking retard then. I just voted in Indiana with zero problems.
Justin Cook
>having voter ID law violates the Constitution
Nice try faggot, but the Constitution doesn't mention that.
Lincoln Murphy
Texit when?
Nicholas Flores
Didn't they burn his legs?
Cameron Price
Also Dan Patrick is actually the one in charge
Ryder Butler
Just go on Reddit and witness the mental gymnastics these fucking idiots go through to rationalize this.
Levi Ward
where was i saying that i couldn't vote
its about the secure id bullshit they passed that does nothing
dumbfuck
not what was stated, try again
Joshua Garcia
>Texas will never flip to the damn commiefornian and illegal immigrant scum
the last four digits of your social security number.
or, you know, none at all.
Christopher Taylor
That's exactly what you implied
>>its fine if the will of the people want to violate the constitution
Chase Wright
I'm just referring to the fact that Texas's governor is the the weakest in the union
Daniel Long
then why is it predicted to be blue in 20 years?
John Perez
By whom, senpai?
Bentley Nguyen
try reading it again
Parker Cook

suck a dick pinko shill, you must be retarded
Ryan Wood
Voting is not a right Disparate impact is unconstitutional bullshit
Caleb Hughes
You implied you had difficulty casting your vote due. I was explaining that you probably find many things difficult to do that normal people have no trouble with because you are a fucking dumb fuck n
