Texas's controversial voter ID program is gonna be going fully into effect
on november fifth now we understand from previous stories we've covered on voter
ID is that it's
but whatever they wanna say about voter fraud its to disenfranchise people the
poor
students elderly minorities but now you may be saying
I'm not for a moment not a minority in that a student I'm not elderly why
should I care
well love you should care because at least in Texas apparently up to
one-third a female voters may be disenfranchised by the new law
until they go through an incredibly complex twelve step process
to replace their current ID at now you mean
because they've changed their name when they got married yes exactly and so that
the problem here is that if their name on their official ahh the official like
documentation ID's they have doesn't match it
then they have to provide approve their marriage license their birth certificate
things like that that a lot of people don't have access to have the barriers
are
Alex Rodriguez up at engineer changer de beers
super in love with him and because again you thought this guy gets to workers
one-time isn't that great he's got some stamina right so cheap
and so she really last that long to get there are eager to tell she goes through
the process and get your license changed its a new license nobody voluntarily
goes to the DMV when they don't have to talk when
she gave up exactly yeah and and not just and I we have some numbers for you
actually in so these are the percentages a
people that do not have a document the currently reflects our current legal
name in Texas right now
34 percent voting-age women and even more significantly 41 percent a
transgendered women and men
in Texas it's a less significant Lee mean further from
impact for the I mean I'm not mad well such as as a percentage of their
population
and right one other is we're putting it out yourself of
of women well yes that very sad seventy percent everybody you know
really easy solution to this right women should just stop changing their names
or sub boating that so I don't care so much yeah
know it's really frustrating that they're still continuing this right and
it was
definitely frustrating when they chose a very convenient time
right before the 2012 election %uh n the still will not let it go
and you know the Supreme Court ruling argue no voting rights
just shows you it was the wrong ruling
you know the south will continue to do what they're doing they do they want to
disenfranchise voters they wanna make sure
that certain people that vote for the democratic party will not have the
ability to do so although they're gonna have to jump through leaps and bounds
just to make that will keep it by the big
big voter ID law this year though was not it wasn't self wasn't that way
that's where the judge starr rate for much well in North Carolina
incredibly severe restriction on the ID's you can use and things like that
and what i love. is obviously the 34 percent a lot of those people in taxes
are going to be
white women many of whom probably vote for republicans married white women
that that that's a that's a that's a republican but they're that better
certainly certainly that that's the best you gonna do and women
exactly public end and I will predict here that when they go to vote if I know
your ID doesn't work or they have to go to the incredibly complex process to
change the documentation to match their name and all that
what they're gonna say is not look at these freaking republicans for screwing
you over try to stop me from voting
although say is look at this complicated bureaucracy government making it so hard
for me to change documentation
and that's why I hate the sorts things I don't think that the republicans action
to suffer from this
hopefully in the minority community leaders will make it clear them that
they hate you they don't want you voting
but I don't think for the the regular everyday republican white women
I don't think that that messages going across what I hope is that
at some point especially these laws start to be upheld
com that with that the effort turns
take getting people a proper identification like me I would like to
me i i
these laws are we although how sinister these laws or what the attended these
laws are these laws are key
democrats voting that's that that's the pleasant way
to say people who wall vote Republican way why keep away from the polls the
sinister way to show is to say that a long black people they don't want
latinos
that you they don't want to take that it's flat-out racism I think that if it
turned out
that that there'll that they were losing because white people they would figure
out a way to keep white people from both
yeah I think their motivation is waning %uh yet but either way so the way to
combat the motivation is to be like is to
is to is Tim organized in every single state
ways to make it is easy as possible for every single person to get a
some sort of government-issued ID and and this little argument
once and for all if four goals in court best way to get a win in court
key people never do that if we're gonna lose let's go let's get these people
ideas
%uh and shove it back in their face because they're what you talk about
is that than you for again generations be like you're trying to keep me from
boat there
there's no chance a vote for you or your kind ever get
