It is a requirement.Just deal with it!

According to what doesn't make sense about that? the author defends the fact that voters should be required to present an ID in order to vote and I totally agree with her on this point. Any school, state or official office in general will require one to have some kind of state issued ID whether drivers license or passport  and it makes even more sense to have an ID in order to vote. Voting is an important issue in society since we are choosing people that would lead and make major decisions in the state and as such one must like she said have met the qualifications to vote which are that they have to be a US citizens, at least 18 years of age and cannot be a convicted felon or be deemed mentally incapacitated. This will allow for a fair environment and guarantee that voters at least have a clue as to what or who they might be voting for. Also she  said that this might lessen votes especially in Texas were the majority are Hispanics and some illegal, and though this is true, most of these immigrants are looking to get their permanent residency and eventually citizenship status so this might boost voter turnout like it did in Indiana and Georgia. Still this remains a fair and non discrimination requirement in the state.
