Texas has spent millions passing a voter ID bill and millions defending it in court and yet according to the San Antonio Express, only 5 voter fraud complaints out of 13 million votes have been identified

5 complaints, not convictions, out of 13 millions votes in 2008 and 2010.

1. Voter suppression is the goal of such legislation.

The Republicans simply use the excuse of voter fraud to achieve this goal. The blueprint for voter suppression likely came from ALEC and similar right wing organizations. They know their numbers are dwindling and this is their solution.

Not stupid, anti-democratic and manipulative.

2. How dare you cloud the issue with facts!!

You know those people aren't real Americans (much less real Texans), so it's not as if it's important if they don't vote just because it's harder.

Let'em prove how much they want to vote.
