Voters need to bring photo ID to the polls

Area voters heading to the polls this week for a tax ratification election need to bring something extra with them: a photo ID.

U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, disagrees and has been among those fighting these requirements.

“It's a sad fact that year after year, minorities in Texas are shown over and over again that we cannot depend on Abbott to protect our voting rights,” he said. “And again, he is also spending the dollars of hardworking taxpayers to implement and wage court battles to uphold this discriminatory law.

“My question for Abbott is simple, ‘At what point do you stop?’”
