I agree!
But Anchia called it a voter suppression effort that is ill-timed, as voter turnout in Texas is now the worst of any state in the union — 32 percent of registered voters in the 2010 general election.
“This is intentional disenfranchisement of African-American and Latino voters. Republicans simply want fewer people to vote,” he said.
If I was an African-American or Latino I would be insulted to imply that I was not able to have some form of legal idenification.

The Democrats acting as though it would only affect their vote. The bill will also affect any Republican trying to vote - illegally. What a bunch of whiners.
