Texas AG Paxton: ‘Only Reason' Anyone Would Be Against Voter ID Is to Allow Cheating
2021-05-31
[Breitbart] Sunday on New York City WABC 770 AM radio’s "The Cats Roundtable," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) discussed the efforts his state and others are making to ensure voter integrity in elections after the 2020 election cycle.

Paxton warned if states like Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania "don’t get their act together" when it comes to signature verification for mail-in voting, "we’ll never know if we have secure elections."

When asked about the argument that requiring voter ID is discriminatory, Paxton advised, "That’s just a red herring, and it’s just not true."

He went on to argue that anyone against requiring photo ID to vote wants to allow for others to be able to cheat in elections.

"The only argument that they had was that they claimed it was discriminatory. The reality is everybody knows that’s not true because you have to have a photo ID [for everyday life]," Paxton stated.

#3  Not entirely. It could also be a Fifth Amendment thing - the process of getting or renewing an ID might expose them to arrest on outstanding warrants.

#2  Let's make the voting laws mirror the gun laws. ID, background checks, massive fines and jail times for any 'election worker' who lets an illegal vote through.

I could spend a good 20 mins listing all the things the same people whining about Voter ID have no problem whipping out an ID to buy, or given. But the 1960's battle cry Voter ID whine is really even more meaningless in the 21st century.

But if ID's are problem.
Then let us argue that if we exempt VOTING the very foundation of ALL LAWS and government operations to protect citizen rights. Then we should also remove the requirement for all other things and just increase the fines and sentences for persons caught owning, acquiring, or to have purchased any items that the law(s) prohibits them having.
