What are voters with no driver license supposed to present? *IF Texas is going to require special ids to vote, they better get ready to provide them for free, otherwise it is the same as a poll tax which is federally prohibited by law.*

A person can use a state id, a driver’s license is not required. You do not need to be a citizen to apply and receive a state id! That is why tx is demanding illegal identification rolls!

You can also vote as an "out of country" citizen, and the DNC literally has it on their website on how to get around not having a DL or SS number and still cast your vote. They explain exactly how to do it.
Notice how the Republicans are crying about this soooo close to the election? Why didn't they take care of this after the last so called "stolen" election? Cause it wasn't stolen, he lost and now they are trying to rig this election in little donnie's favor. What a loser of a party!
It's all the republicans have, beyond "concepts of plans" they're gonna play "we lost because they cheated" card again. It worked so well last time...with all the evidence in all those court cases... Remember?
Are you going to pay for the poor to get their ID along with their birth certificate? Then you must also pay for people to help the poor too. The only cheaters are the Republicans over and over again.
If you can’t prove who you are you have no right to vote. You can’t do anything without a ID why is it such a big deal for one of the most important things we do
@@jessicalocklear762 Anyone can get a drivers license even noncitizens and all they have to do to illegally vote is check a box on the registration form when they do the paperwork to get the DL.

@mikehardman7566 There is no such thing as a federal election. Easc state holds an election, to determine their federal representation. The state's representatives then vote in the Electoral College for President.
@mikehardman7566 It's a moot point anyway. The database has always been available to the states. Apparently, Texas thinks the federal government is supposed to do the cross referencing for their voter registration...which is not how it works in any state.
Wish it were that simple. I am not sure if drivers license necessarily links you to your citizenship. I could be wrong, but just some food for thought....
@acyclicallycyclic i know a wonderful, law abiding green card holder who mistakenly voted because they were allowed to register to vote, and that caused them confusion about their rights. Non citizens shouldn't even be able to register, but they are.

You are mistaken. This wasn’t a lawsuit brought about bc they think there is a problem. Did you listen to the report? This was brought about like many across the US at the moment during the time they KNOW they can’t win because it’s “too late”. That’s not what the endgame was here … instead it’s totally done to make ordinary people like you and me want to distrust the process and believe there is a bigger problem than there is. Don’t fall for it. THATS why they bring it know right before Election Day. Think about it. Then when election rights groups push back they drop the suit … again it wasn’t done bc they thought they could win. But the damage has already been done … if you allow yourself to be dragged along. Great having our tax dollars used for nothin’ huh?
From the DHS's SAVE site, the one being referenced: SAVE only verifies DHS-issued immigration identifiers. SAVE searches federal immigration databases using identifiers input by the user agency from an applicant’s immigration or citizenship documents, including A-Number/USCIS Number and Naturalization/Citizenship Certificate Number. State voting officials may be able to acquire DHS-issued immigration identifiers like A-Numbers from the records maintained by state driver’s licensing authorities. SAVE cannot verify an individual’s naturalized or acquired citizenship status using a Social Security Number, driver’s license number, U.S. passport number, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or other non-DHS documentation. SAVE also cannot verify U.S. citizenship using only the registrant’s name and date of birth. As you can see it's useless for determining if a person is voting legally or not. Bringing the site up was just another red herring the propaganda arm of the DNC threw out there to make it look like an easy fix but Texas just can't figure it out. Wrong, and anyone who has even spent the briefest time perusing what it contains will know it.
If I lived in TX I would bring my Drivers license, my birth certificate, my social security card and my medicare ID. Just in cas=e they deleted me the last minute. I check my voter registration daily because I live in a red state and I just don't trust any of them.
I think us Texans are tired of this crap. I don't care if the number of illegal votes isn't enough to blah blah... There shouldn't be even ONE illegal vote!!!

@@Steven-gv1keTexas has its own voting system. It has its own laws and regulations. If Texas doesn’t like it, they can verify the information on the website mentioned in the clip or they can change their state law through referendums and voting like everyone else does in their states.
Would someone who is not a legal citizen vote and put themselves in jeopardy of being deported? People save up thousands of dollars, risk life and limb for the opportunity to live here. Being deported is like losing everything and having to start over with nothing. No back up to replace what was lost in getting here. Makes alot of sense
Of course they will, free housing, medical care legal help food, monthly checks, phones education... The Democrats are counting on the illegals voting, besides, they can just come right back in.
_…put themselves in jeopardy of being deported?_ In 2024 alone, over 3,000 people that are wanted for murder have been caught illegally entering and released into this country, on top of another 13,000+ convicted murderers and 20,000+ rapists. No one is worried about getting deported.
You act like everyone of them was illegal. It's Texas law that anyone can walk in and get registered. Here in illinois must have a drivers license or state id
@@618NoRRiS024any CITIZEN can apply to register, your ID is checked against a citizenship database to verify that you’re a citizen. Noncitizens never get added into the system. Who are you getting your information from?
Well you can't vote without a driver's license in Texas or some form of ID issued by the state and to get a state ID or driver's license you need to take your birth certificate with you or they will not issue you a form of ID
Overseas US military service members, you know, the ones protecting this country for people like you? They don’t need a state ID. Their military ID is enough.
@@TrumploveEpstein We won 13 cases but lots of them were dismissed without examination of evidence by claim of no standing by judges regardless the DOJ is run by a Democrat partisan hack named Merick Garland so nothing was done about it.
Such BS. If there is a question about their citizenship they SHOULD NOT get to vote! They can get a valid driver's license or state ID and present it at the polls on election day if they want to vote !
This is a solution in search of a problem. There are more important issues that need to be addressed - such as voter suppression and intimidation by the various Republican governors
The AG claimed he didn’t have any proof, but is working on a feeling? Don’t you have to have probable cause, evidence, maybe some due process thought before violating people’s rights.
This is entirely on Texas. The database with the info they need to cross reference has always been available. It's a state's job to verify their voter registration rolls, not the federal government's to do the work for them.
@@Hasanindustries it’s not illegal, it’s not required. Anyone can vote. Even illegals. My girl who is a legal immigrant has illegal friends who are voting for Kamala in NYC. All of her illegal friends are voting, and they were encouraged by the state to vote. It makes me very angry and it makes her angry too as it makes immigrants look bad. This has always been the plan though for the democrats.
So what documentation do you think is going to certify a person's citizenship.... Drivers license... SSI CARD, BIRTH CERTIFICATE... Income or personal property tax receipt... Which of these do you carry and should we insist you carry those documents at all time... give us your pearls of wisdom on this problem.
All states require birth certificates to register as a voter. Period. And if you are just getting a license and not registering then you go on a list as NOT Registered to vote. Very simple. This is just hype to cause fear and disharmony about the voting system. It’s BS
Sorry, Texas. You had at least 2 years to clean up your voter rolls. Federal law says you can't purge voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election. It's been that way for almost 25 years.
Purging them from the voter rolls is one thing. Not allowing them to vote because they don't possess a valid ID is quite another. Q.) If they don't have a valid ID, how can someone tell that the name on the voter rolls is really the same as the person who's trying to vote? A.) They can't! A valid ID is a MUST!
@@paulkurilecz4209 They weren’t objecting to getting the data … the state was saying the data is already available and they can access it any time they want. You are missing the bigger picture: They wait until it is too late to do anything and they don’t access what is available because that’s not the ‘game’. Think about it. They knew it is too late (and there weren’t any facts to support it) to do anything. Yet they called it into question anyway because the closer we get to Election Day the more they want you to believe there is an issue and get riled up about what even they know isn’t an issue or they would have done something about it sooner. No, this is a ploy to set the seeds of distrust. Don’t allow them to make you distrustful. Instead get mad that they are using hard paid public money to file bogus law suits only meant for show. It’s happening across the country and as election groups fight back they immediately back down because they know they don’t have cases for actual law suits.
"And if there is no concern, then why the objections to getting the data?" - To what objections are you referring? This video didn't mention any objections. This video stated that DHS provides every state access to the data, but rather than use that access, Texas is suing DHS. This is a completely transparent ruse by the Texas AG to pretend that there are people illegally voting, for the explicit purpose of keeping you in fear. Congratulations for falling for the transparent ruse.

It's already a requirement to provide a legal ID and proof of residence to register to vote ! This is a lot of noise to build suspicion into an already secure right!!
Not true! I’m a Texan who is married to a green card holder, all she had to do was check a box to be a registered voter when applying for state id! She did not check that box because she and I are honest and I was with her when she applied for state id! Please do not assume that it is impossible to obtain voter registration, even here in tx!!!
NO. You can get state ID and live here on a temporary basis of say 6 years but not be a permanent resident or citizen. If youre here for limited term ( it says on the id limited term) stay you are able to get a state id but you are still not supposed to vote. So YES THEY CAN SNEAK IN AND VOTE. Abbott would be correct in trying to add that extra security as this administration was just recently caught mailing ballots to illegals. Some are asking why Abbott didn't handle this before, well they didn't think the administration would do this. THIS IS CHEATING! And proof of residence can be a cell phone bill, or something easy to obtain.
There are many immigrants who came here illegally over the past four years and last few months who have been given transportation, temporary protected status, and sometimes money, by the current administration. This temporary protected status gives them the ability to get drivers licenses in many states, including Minnesota. Many of these immigrants have been registered to vote and checked "non-citizen" on the registration form. They are then added to the voter rolls as non-citizens. They are supposed to be removed, but if new ones are added close to the election, or they weren't removed due to other factors, apparently the federal government just says too bad.
You just contradicted yourself. They are marked as noncitizens… that means they do not get added to the voter roles and even if they did they’d be caught at the voting booth, not to mention that someone here illegally isn’t going to risk getting caught. It’s really a non issue , with no evidence that it’s happening and definitely not ‘in large numbers’. Now what I have seen is a white person (just for reference) going up to vote, giving a name of someone they knew, but because Drivers Licenses weren’t required at the time, pretending to be someone and then vote … only to come back minutes later stand in line again and do the same thing with a different name. So yeah DL can indeed be helpful and all states should require photo ID
Because anybody who crawled over the mexican us border in the middle of the night is eager to go vote and testify that they are citizens, open themselves up to felony and deportation, just so they can vote for kamala harris. That absolutely makes sense, and I can't imagine anyone ever questioning.... Sorry, I can't keep a straight face.That is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard of. 😂

You’re right, it isn’t possible because Ken Paxton is lying so Ted Cruz and Trump have breathing room to contest the election. If you watch the video they say there is no proof that there are non citizens in the register.
He knows they are citizens that's why he put the caveat "they are probably citizens " so when they come after him for lying he'll be able to use the above quote.
Just about every state requires a "REAL ID" driver's license. Verification of ID and such needs to take place at the time of registration. If further documentation needs to be provided, it shouldn't be impossible for local registrars to request it.
I know this is the millionth video on the topic, but the Constitution EXPLICITLY states have the rights to establish their voting practices. Federal Government actually has no power to influence state elections, it simply receives them. If Texas has a problem with the Constitution, maybe they should... idk, change it or leave.
Texas maga is panicking. It will turn Blue. Please vote for sanity and to defend our Constitution, and not for wannabe dictators, as Gral. Milley put it.
This is the stupidest thing ever. To register to vote in Texas , you need to have EITHER a Texas driver’s license OR a social security number. You CANNOT be a non-citizen WITH a social security number! So this is absolutely pointless. Not to mention Texas driver’s license appointments for transferring out of state licenses to Texas licenses are scheduled two months out on average so registering to vote without a Texas license before the registration deadline is necessary for new move-ins! This man is nothing but unfounded claims. He needs to do more research into how the state he represents works.
