Poor high crime areas almost universally vote dem and have for a very long time.

the huge blue portion in south texas do not show up at the polls like the rest of the state. if the Latinos ever vote like Jews, Tex will be blue.

Still turns border towns blue...and the answer is obvious why that happens.

Stop the Presses! 

Are you telling us that counties in which racial minorities constitute the majority of the County population ... might vote Democrat? 

Holy shite!

As soon as I saw your name as the last poster I knew I was in to read some dumbass comment

Is that all what you took from the OP? Because you are conveniently leaving out why those areas are blue, which party caters to blue, and the lax voter requirements that I posted earlier.

Can you open your mind, just a tad?

My mind is open to objective data, and there is NO such data to support the OP's ignorant premise. 

Nothing but xenophobic sky-screaming.

Besides the reported incidents of voter fraud, combined with the ability to vote without an ID, combined with the closer to the border, generally the more blue...

You can't see a very likely cause of illegals voting?

Simply hiding your head in the sand is not the smart move, when symptoms are staring at you in the face.

Holy shite, Leftists suck at meme'ing.

People born here are legal even if their parents came here illegally. All the whites moved out. The remaining however many Hispanics who are legal voted. The end.

Well more importantly in this scenario; the Valley is like 80% Hispanic, and in some areas it’s effectively 100% with no intention of assimilation to other parts of Texas. When I worked for the largest service company in North America, the McAllen yard got shut down to move to San Antonio. Not a single person moved. Their families wouldn’t let them leave the Valley. There is a huge problem with getting kids to even go to college. A&M recently extended one of its “main campus” branches to McAllen, already having College Station, Galveston and Doha, Qatar.

Hispanics assimilate well in every other part of the state, but the Valley is an issue.

Quickly, give me an argument against voter ID that has nothing to do with race.

GO!

People of color aren’t capable of driving to the DMV and getting an ID card!

First, YOU didn't give me an argument.

Second, the title of your article is literally "why voter ID isn't racist." I said without involving race, that article is chock full of it.

That was my point - you and your liberal pals frame every argument and talking point through race and racism. There is no good argument against voter ID that your side has put forth, especially if you remove all racial implications from your carefully worded speeches on the matter.

There's many reasons FOR voter ID laws that have nothing to do with race - basically ALL of them. Most notably that you should have proof that you're a US citizen to vote in US election(s), simply put. Elections set the law of the land and have a far reaching impact, it's not akin to applying for a Kum & Go rewards card or even buying a pack of cigarettes (which you need ID for).

Why is it too much to ask to show proof of who you are? Everyone has an ID, it makes perfectly fine sense in every other facet of life when proof of identity is required except for voting? How does that make any kind of sense? How are these people without IDs even getting to the polls? How are they employed when employers keep a copy of your ID on file? How are they going through life without an ID?

They aren't, because they don't exist unless they're illegal or a teeeny-tiny percentage of homeless individuals.
