| Texas Voter ID Law Upheld on Appeal |
| 2017-09-07 |
| h/t Instapundit A panel from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, in a split decision, stayed the district court’s granting a permanent injunction against enforcement of certain sections of the Texas Voter ID law. Those protesting the law, claimed it was unconstitutional because it would prevent, or at least deter, voters without a "valid form of ID" from voting. The Fifth Circuit, in a surprising turn, not only applied the law to the issue before it but they also applied common sense. |

#6 My favorite is "They can't afford to go into town to get an ID." But damn, is their liquor cabinet well-stocked. |

| #5 If you want to buy alcohol, tobacco, or get a check cashed a personal ID is mandatory -- go figure. |

| #4 "They can't afford to go into town to get an ID" Amazing that the statement is used for many things that constitute 'hardships' incurred by some. Although they'll walk miles through a blizzard to get to a liquor store or an OTB/Lottery storefront. |

| #3 They blame it on everything. My favorite is "They can't afford to go into town to get an ID." But they can afford to go into town to set up welfare benefits, etc.. |

| #2 It's not so much an ID, IMO, as it's multiple voting - remember all these stories from 2012? |
