[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1744837, member: 7488"] No, our law requires a photo ID, OR the voter to show their voter ID card (which is non-photo but cost free for the applicant and voter). I don't mind our law, which one can show either/or the photo ID or the free isued voter ID. The TX law - if it truly requires one to show a photo ID, that can only be obtained at a cost - I am still on the fence about, but I tend to think it may constitute being considered a form of a poll tax. Donner, OK was historically pretty strongly a Jim Crow state: [url]http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/scripts/jimcrow/insidesouth.cgi?state=Oklahoma[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jim_Crow_law_examples_by_State#Oklahoma[/url] There's more out there the web, but we among the last state to adopt a segregated college (directly against the direction of Roosevelt when they were handling out Morrill grants). We also had possible the most blatant Jim Corw voter laws and grandfather clauses on record the south. [/QUOTE]
