Texas Scorecard by  Erin Anderson August 22, 2023

The ID requirement was enacted in 2021 as part of a comprehensive election integrity measure.

A federal judge ruled that Texas election officials cannot reject mail-in ballots with wrong or missing identification numbers.

U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez found that the voter ID requirement violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Rodriguez agreed with the U.S. Department of Justice that providing a correct voter ID is “not material in determining whether voters are qualified under Texas law to vote or cast a mail ballot.”

Christine Welborn, executive director of Advancing Integrity, says the ID requirement “is for the protection of the voter as well as the integrity of the vote.”

“We must be able to determine that the person voting is the actual registered voter,” said Welborn. “In-person voting requires an ID and a signature; voting from mail should do the same.”

When (not "if", IMO) the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals smacks down this ruling, their decision should include a slap-down of this lunatic judge.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Not material under Texas law?  IT IS TEXAS LAW, DUMB-ASS!
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Not at all surprising given the fact that W wanted to put Harriett Myers on SCOTUS.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
