 In Texas since the start of this year, so in the last four months, what have they seen? The federal laws allow you to register to vote even if you don't have a photo ID. Now, I don't know how many people in this country, even the poorest person in this country, has a photo ID. Why? To be able to drive a car, to be able to open a bank account, to be able to cash their paycheck, to be able to do just about anything, to rent an apartment.
