quote, texas has a very restrictive voter id law, tolleson said. if you i read it, it doesn't sem racist on itsin face but if you think about how it operates in practice, as a well as the intet behind it, it is fairly racist. one example texas law only allows voters to a certain limited amount of ids. you have to have a driver's license, you can have a hand handgun license, you can have a military id, but you can have a federal id, you can have a student id which arepl types of ids the people of color are more likely to have. white said obtaining an election identification is not so easy for an 82-year-old woman who lives any rural area without the convenient ability to drive herself to the department of public safety. quote, my challenge is it's taking so long to get this done, white said. and sin my mother through all these hoops at this age to go get documents notarized, to go get her social sturdy application. we are having to look for high school records and baptism information to center through such a process, it really is ridiculous. mr. pre
