Some Counties In Texas Do Not Have Driver's License Offices

It was just reported on CBS Evening News that almost one-third of Texas' 254 counties do not have a driver's license office. If thousands or millions of people have to struggle to get government issued I.D.s then there should not be a law requiring people to have a government issued I.D.

The federal judges looking at it now are sure to declare the law invalid. What idiots. I keep telling you, the GOP is falling to pieces as we watch.

I believe this was a major issue in court decisions invalidating voter I.D. laws in other states.
