    Republicans in Texas are explicitly trying to stop people of color from voting. Don't let them.https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1033015149597270017 …

    Texas requires photo ID to vote. Now they're proposing closing 87 DMV offices where you get ID. 78 counties will have no DMV office. This is same state where you can vote with gun permit but not student ID https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2018/08/23/four-d-fw-drivers-license-offices-could-close-along-83-others-texas-dps-list …

        We received notice on our neighborhood app about our local DMV in TX closing for repairs. I also had to request a Democrat ballot several times when voting for primaries in 2016.

        Concerned with people meddling with elections but don’t want to ID them Implying that people of color don’t have IDs, kinda racist but ok A gun license requires federal background checks making it a state issued ID, school IDs can be given to anyone You’re argument is dumb

        I’m Hispanic. No problem getting an ID thus no problem voting. What the hell do you know about Texas?

        I read the article. So... What does this have to do with people of color, exactly?

        Its kind of a gerrymandering nuance argument. The locations of the closures are higher minority populations. It does make it more difficult to the white people there too, just less of em. Like say America is 26% POC but maybe these counties are 50% POC. Also the issue of ID price

        Yes, I know. I'm shooting at the stale assumptions on which it relies. People are not stuck in place and time helplessly beholden to the better nature of 'good white folk'. 'Minority' voters have the capacity to think, choose, plan, decide...
