Voter ID Now Required in Texas But Good Luck Getting One

This is the perfect Catch 22. You can't vote until you have ID but you can't get ID. The citizens of the Great State of Chaos (Texas) are really in the crapper here. They need help getting these folks to the proper places to get their voter IDs. Even though they are making it hard we can still beat them.

From the Houston Press:

"Texas, as you may have heard, was one of the nine states subjected to such federal pre-clearance, most recently with its attempts at voter ID legislation. The new regulations were the greatest accomplishment of the 2011 Legislative Session, but a federal court used the VRA to bar the legislation from implementation. Now, following the SCOTUS's new ruling, Attorney General Greg Abbott says he will be pushing for implementation as soon as possible. "With today's decision, the state's voter ID law will take effect immediately," he said on Tuesday.

The gift that keeps on giving.


Unfortunately it's not just Texas doing this crap.

3. The DNC as Prometheus.

We have our burden.

Who can/will issue EICs? Can we? How are the EICs recorded? Can it be done electronically?
Exactly what documents can be used? Who has to see documents? Will we need notary publics?
Can e-copies of Birth certificates be used? Can e-copies of any of the other documents be used?
We need mobility, to take to EICs to the people or take the people to the EICs, so how many busses (and mobile hot-spots) can we lay our hands on? If we make mobile voter e-registration vehicles, I suggest we mount cameras and stream video very publicly to damper the enthusiasm of non-registering visitors.
How many registered voters are in Texas? Can that number be doubled? How many voters will be needed to cause the senior republicans to stroke out? Should we have EMS on hand? Should we send cards?

4. Voting is supposed to be a basic right for all citizens

It would seem that anything that impedes a citizen's right to vote would be unconstitutional.
