Texas Granny fights for her right to vote! (Even White Women can't vote)

80-year old Laura Troth discovered how difficult it is to actually get a Texas ID card in order to vote.

What happened to Troth and me is something that only happens to women. Men do not have this problem. This stupid law designed to solve a non-existent problem only makes it worse.

I was an election judge until last year. It is a hectic day and the 12 hrs hard to take as I grow older but the worst was the prospect of more chaos with the new law. I decided to quit before having to face asking people I know to prove who they are.
