You are wrong, Jimmie

Jimmie Loyd of Tyler doesn't understand the voter ID bill currently in the Texas legislature. When enacted, the bill will require a Texas drivers license or concealed carry license or Texas ID card or military ID or passport to vote. Jimmie says that since her mother is in a nursing home and doesn't have a drivers license, she will be unable to vote. Simply not true. She can take her mother to get a Texas ID card. If her mother is not able to leave the nursing home, she can still vote by mail. Jimmie says the Republicans think her mother is going to commit voter fraud. Again, Jimmie, simply not true. The law is as much to protect your mother from someone stealing her vote as it is to protect the election process. Seeing as your mother is not, as you say, disenfranchised by the bill, I have to wonder, Jimmie, why you are so opposed to it. "Voting for others hypocritical."
