Texas Republicans Find A Way To Disenfranchise Women Voters

They’ve targeted Blacks, Latinos and college students. Now Texas has come up with a Voter ID law that will disproportionately affect women – the constituency they most fear will support Wendy Davis.

Women are Wendy Davis’ natural base. Her eleven-hour filibuster of an abortion bill that closed family planning clinics in Texas is the reason she has the name recognition and the political capital to make a run for governor. Anti-choice groups who have never before had to spend money opposing a pro-choice candidate are scrambling to form political action groups to run ads against her. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the man who is most likely to be her opponent, has been touting himself as the real pro-woman candidate for his success at collecting back child support from deadbeat dads.

Now, Republicans have found what they hope will be a more reliable plan than trying to persuade women that Republicans have their best interest at heart: Don’t let women vote.

Texas Republicans Find A Way To Disenfranchise Women Voters

Now, Republicans have found what they hope will be a more reliable plan than trying to persuade women that Republicans have their best interest at heart: Don’t let women vote.

Care to share what the plan is?

Damn....you mean the voter's name has to actually match up with the voter rolls!

"This means thousands of women face the hassle of figuring out what they need and how to get it."

Thanks for driving home the point, Boca.​

The voter's name has to match their birth certificate....gee, what could go wrong there?

That's not a problem for me, so why should I care?

Low information GOP county clerks who can't spell or use spell-check entering names in the voter-registration database.

Of course it isn't like it is a common practice for women to take the last name of their husbands....

And those hussies who get a divorce don't deserve the vote anyway!

I can tell you that Texas Driver's Licenses,fishing licenses and a whole host of govt issued paper in TX don't require that the names match with the birth certificate.

Texas Republicans aren't the sharpest pencils in the box.

The chemical estrogen is psychotropic and hallucinogenic. Its also leads to massive depositions of adipose tissue in the structures its most commonly found in, ie the hips are under a non stop 24/7 estrogen shower due to their proximity to the ovaries.

From your read:
As of November 5, a birth certificate is not enough. Women voters will have to show legal proof of a name change: a marriage license, a divorce decree, or court ordered change; and they have to be the original documents. No photocopies allowed. This means thousands of women face the hassle of figuring out what they need and how to get it. Then they face at least a $20 fee, more if a woman doesn’t have the time to stand in line and wants it mailed. As a result, many women who are eligible to vote, won’t.
You have to hand it to Texas. Abortion politics threaten to drive the election for governor, so they have figured out a way to discourage a large group of women who are likely have a personal interest in the issue of choice: married women of child-bearing age. Women who might favor Wendy Davis.

I just hope that it backfires on them the same way their efforts to limit the black vote did in 2012. Texas women need to show up strong in the upcoming election. If they don't, then they might not be allowed to vote at all by the time the next gubernatorial campaign comes around.

Wouldn't that depend on if they changed their name...or do you have to be married in Texas to vote?

( h'mm... that ain't a bad idea)

It appears to me that young married women are the primary target of this attempt to limit voting rights.

Yes.. but the hardships are sure to keep some of them away -- as this is definitely their intended goal.
