DOJ: 1.4 million Texans without ID would be unable to vote

[Chris Fowler]

Well...

DOJ’S LIST OF REGISTERED VOTERS WHO LACK PHOTO ID INCLUDES:
50,000 Dead Voters3
330,377 Voters over the age of 65 (who can vote by mail without ID)
261,887 Voters who included a DL number on their voter registration form
800,000 Voters successfully matched by the State to DPS-issued photo IDs
Countless Voters who actually have a government-issued photo ID—but who
were improperly included on the DOJ’s no-identification list,
including:
- Director of Elections Keith Ingram—not once, but twice.
- U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
- Former U.S. Senator Phil Gramm
- State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
- State Representative Aaron Peña
- Former President George W. Bush
DOJ’S LIST OF ‘NO-IDENTIFICATION’ VOTERS FAILED TO EXCLUDE:
- Dead Voters (who have not been removed from the Voter Registration list).
- Voters who have passports and military IDs.
- Former Texans who moved to other states and are ineligible to vote in Texas.
- Exempt voters who have been certified disabled by the federal agencies.
- Non-citizens who are improperly registered to vote.

Although the Justice Department claims that its expert witness’ no-match list reveals
how many Texas voters will be impacted by the voter ID law, Professor Ansolabehere
conceded during his deposition that he did not analyze how many actual, registered
voters would be affected by the law—and cannot even offer an opinion about whether
anyone on the list will actually be unable to vote:
“I was not asked to weigh-in on the question of whether or
not they would be able to vote.”

“We are trying to determine who has an ID, not who is an
actual eligible voter.”

...
“I did not have access to any of the federal identification
data set—databases such as the military database or the
social security database. We inquired about getting access
to those databases but could not.”

Referring to his client’s refusal to make federal databases available to him, Professor
Ansolabehere further testified:
“It would be great to know those other ID forms, but we
were not allowed access to those databases.”
