Testimony Ends, But Voter ID Decision Could Be Far Off
Update, 5:30 p.m.: In a press call Friday, Attorney General Greg Abbott reiterated his belief that the number of people who the Department of Justice argues would be disenfranchised by the Texas voter ID law is "grossly inflated," and includes people who have died, are in the state illegally or are felons.
"The Texas voter ID law does not disenfranchise voters," Abbott said, adding that the opposition did not offer a single witness who would be denied the ability to vote.
Abbott also addressed questions from critics about the lack of voter fraud cases in Texas and the ...

IF EITHER THE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS WERE SERIOUS ABOUT STOPPING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVADERS, ENTERING THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE A FELONY.
If the Texas photo ID law goes down in flames, we must demand the Republicans pass THE LEGAL WORKFORCE BILL, known nationally as the mandatory E-Verify. Otherwise nothing will stop the barrage of millions more illegal aliens pouring over non-existent fences, along hundreds of miles of the border, plus the immediate enactment of the BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BILL. American can no longer afford financially supporting illegal aliens anymore. They are coming here stealing low wage jobs of Americans and even teenagers who provide seasonal work.
The only answer to illegal immigration is “the People’s TEA PARTY, for unlike the rhetoric of the Democrats and Republicans they will reverse Obama’s back door amnesty, sue the cities and states with Sanctuary policies and take away federal funds. Mandated laws for illegal alien education, health care will be reassessed and any laws that contravene the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act as Obama’s executive orders will be rescinded. Join the millions upon millions of Constitutional TEA PARTY people, who will put a stop to Obama’s Czars Socialist-Marxist push for an open border agenda and the illegal votes that will be provided and the Republican’s ideology to keep bringing millions of low skilled workers, for their corporate friends. We must rid this sovereign nation of the deep entrenched incumbents, except those who accomplish the American citizens-residents will. Shortly there will be a decision on the photo ID requirement, which is the only way to halt non-citizens, but mainly illegal aliens from voting. The TEA PARTY with enough politicians in Congress will enact E-Verify ‘The Legal Workforce Act’ (H.R. 2885) and the Rep. Steve Kings THE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ACT (H.R.140). These two laws will alleviate the illegal immigration invasion.

What Eric Holder has failed to mention to the judges is that minorities and low income people can be issued a FREE ID document. This is based on the Indiana law, that in essence states, if you can't produce an authorized ID on Election Day, you will given a provisional ballot and have until noon 10 business days hence, that following the election to produce you’re ID. The Texas ID law also states that if you meet certain income requirements, you can get a state issued ID card free of charge. Think about it, you have to show an ID to board a plane, send money, drive a car, and use your credit card or any number of reasons? This certainly denotes to me that since the Motor Voter bill in 1965, anybody can register to vote. Although it says under the penalty of perjury, my bet hundreds of thousands, maybe millions in overcrowded states as California and Nevada; illegal aliens are voting and will do so to maintain Obama in the White House.
Attention: Investigation of President Obama’s background history is due to be released by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on July 17, 2012 and could stun everybody. The upcoming press conference is set to be held at 2:30 p.m. local time at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Phoenix, Arizona, with World Net Daily again providing live streaming video coverage.

We do not base state or federal laws on the Bible.

Please report to us exactly what evidence the Texas Attorney General submitted to the court concerning voter id fraud. What sort of documentary data was presented and admitted as evidence? Did he submit evidence of actual criminal convictions in Texas during the past few years? If so, how many were there? Seems that if Texas were unable to prove that actual voter id fraud were occurring on anything other than a random basis, then its likely that the stated rationale for the law was a pretext and that the true motive was to disenfranchise blacks and Latinos who would likely vote Democratic.

The only fraud being committed is the state's false argument of ending widespread voter fraud. There is no evidence to support the remedy. Sec. of State Hope Andrade should separate herself from this insidious attempt to suppress the vote of minority voters most of whom are old. She should show the same courage she showed while in the business of child care.

Recently Eric Holder spoke at the NAACP in Houston. TWO forms of ID were required to get in. A picture ID is required to get into any event the President holds and Michele' s book signings. I guess no old people, minorities, or young people are allowed ,,,, since none of them have ID's?

How much voter fraud is acceptable? Kinda like welfare fraud to Liberals. If only 50% of the money is lost due to waste and fraud this is acceptable since if you crack down perhaps one or two people may be wronged.
