Does it say in the constitution you have to have an ID to vote? I read that in some parts of TX, you have to travel a couple of hours to get an approved ID.
This is getting comical now. No, your statement is still not correct. There was quite a bit of voter fraud. The voter registration fraud was pretty bad, too.

Did the Founding Fathers have ID's? Pretty weak argument to go to the Constitution when talking about ID's for voting. If you needed to drive a couple of hours to get an ID to open a bank account or to get a mortgage, would you do it? If you needed an ID to sign up for welfare to feed your family, would you somehow get to the place to get one? It's funny how no one complains that you shouldn't have to show an ID for things other than voting.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
