Texas Political News: Greg Abbott on Voter ID Laws
https://www.oag.state.tx.us/
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has recently released a public statement in defense of Voter ID Laws. This is intended to counter the recent information released by Jose Garza, a lawyer who represents the Mexican American Caucus. Attorney General Abbott’s main criticism of Jose Garcia’s statement is that he is encouraging citizens to break the state law. This is particularly bizarre, considering Mr. Garza is a lawyer. Garza has been quoted telling citizens to break/ignore Voter ID Laws. There is a current debate on whether Voter ID Laws discourage minorities to vote, due to an alleged difficulty in obtaining IDs.“The individual is also incorrect that Texans will be turned away if they do not produce a photo ID. According to state law, voters who appear at the polls without ID will be given a provisional ballot.”
