Obama WH blocks Texas voter I.D. law

To hear Democrats tell it getting a photo I.D. is as hard as trying to find contraception. These people just can�t seem to find the DMV if you gave then a map.

Reuters reports the Obama administration on Monday blocked a new law in Texas requiring voters to show photo identification before they can cast a ballot, citing a concern that it could harm Hispanic voters who lacked such documents.

The law, which was approved in May 2011, required voters to show government-issued photo identification, such as a driver's license, military identification card, birth certificate with a photo, current U.S. passport, or concealed handgun permit.

The Justice Department said that data from Texas showed that almost 11 percent of Hispanic voters, or more than 300,000, did not have a driver's license or state-issued identification card, and that plans to mitigate those concerns were incomplete.

It�s no big ordeal to get at least a Non-Drivers license for the DMV. It�s as easy as filling out an application for welfare or food stamps.
