Hispanic civil rights organization accuses Texas Attorney General of voter intimidation, suppression

The League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, is alleging that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is oppressing Latino and Black voters after raids at the homes of several democrats.

Be thankful that it wasn't the ATF. They shot a man in the head just for trying to defend his home.

Why don't Republicans pass a bill in the house granting every American citizen a voter ID number exactly like they have a Social Security number and then making Election Day a national holiday so that no one has any excuse not to go out and vote?

CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION CONSTANTLY. MAKE SURE THEY HAVEN'T PURGED YOUR REGISTRATION! And VOTE!

Can you imagine if there was an Anglo only civil rights organization? That would be considered racist. But here we are, Hispanic only group. A double-standard and racist.

[godblessusall]

LULAC is being very smart. We should all make sure that our voter registration is up to date. A person's voter registration can be purged from the rolls. It is best to check now so that you have time to re-register if needed.

It's unconstitutional to vote in American elections if not a citizen of America.

What is their definition of "legal"

[henrydamiani]

Question is, is she registering US citizen? What type of voters are they registering?

[thatguy]

People need an ID to buy tobacco, a beer, take out a bank loan, etc. It's required for many normal daily adult activities. To propose that it is somehow suppression or worse to require to prove who you are before you get to vote is beyond absurd, it's intellectually dishonest.

They should be investigated, these people will sign anyone up and their mother

[gerhardspillmann]

Votes for USA citizens only- stopping cheating and ballot harvesting. Voting is a privilege and not to be done by proxies and caregivers

[shirley]

No such thing, you either have proof of citizenship or you are illegal. I am Black, we have all the ID we need to fly, buy cigarettes, be approved for Public Assistance and more. It's about time you Dems stop acting like we are to ignorant to get some kind of ID to prove our citizenship which you also need to do if you want to vote in our elections.

No citizenship No vote, it’s easy . These people love to be victims .

Civil rights organization? Why? Civil rights have been there for 60 years…

[laurastradley]

Registered voter with photo ID is all you need and I believe wherever you live there is someone who can get you to the polls. Even though I'm not voting Democrat if someone in my neighborhood needed a ride I'd take them to vote.

[kaylee]

Registering voters is ok as long as they’re a citizen. Oh voter registration doesn’t expire like a drivers license, your address might change but it doesn’t expire.

[evyonnjames]

Are these voters alive? Are they actual American citizens? Are these voters capable of making a conscious decision? As we know these are the Democrats favorite All of which are not allowed to vote.

[lorimoss]

U can't register if you're not a citizen. If you're already registered and your address changes you're required to update the address, if you want to vote.

[RichardSalley-wiux]

Not be letting illegal immigrants vote is not voter intimidation it’s the law

[rerod]

I am latino but if these people are doing something illegal, then they have nothing to complain about.
