Texas Voter ID bill will force transgender people to out themselves at polls
From Dallas Voice:

The Republican-backed voter ID bill passed the Texas House of Representatives on Wednesday night.

During the floor debate on the bill, Laredo Democrat Richard Raymond asked, “Anytime you deal with a law as comprehensive and as big as this you have to take into account people’s voting rights. You would agree with that, right?”

Plano Republican Van Taylor said, “I think it is important to remember that this bill is about making sure that the right people show up on election day and vote.”

“That the right people show up on election day?” Raymond asked. “Who are the right people?”

1. The wave of GOP regression continues...what state will it not effect?
Amazing...we are watching class/race/sexual warfare heating up in all corners. It is as if they have all lost their fucking minds after watching Tatter Nuts get elected on the Insane Party(tm) platform.

Insane...we are dealing with irrational people that pretend to believe in democracy and freedom!
