There has been a lot of commotion surrounding Texas new
Voter ID Laws. I believe that the effect of Voter ID Laws, is more efficient
elections and not voter discrimination. However, there is one key to the Texas Voter
ID law that I would like to attach to the law.
Texas should distribute The Texas Election Identification
Certificate at every school in Texas. Voter Fraud is a problem and we should
always try to solve a problem. It may not be a big problem but it should be solved
none the less. Voter ID is simple and does not discriminate, however the best
way to fully prevent discrimination is to make sure that every Texas resident
has photo ID.
Photo ID in Texas is currently available at every DPS
Station. I propose that we allow Texans to get their Texas Election
Identification Certificate at any school in Texas. Every Texan has access to a
nearby school. This would allow every Texan easy access to voting rights.
I believe this unique and original idea needs to happen soon
in Texas. I hope this blog can help spread the word about this original idea.
