How do they cash checks? If they're not elderly or unemployed, they endorse the checks and pass them to a friend or relative with an ID to cash. A bank account? Most don't have enough money for one. Fly? That's a pipe dream. MILLIONS OF TEXANS do not have a birth certificate, either, and this would stop them from registering to vote, period. Wake up and smell the coffee.

How do they cash checks? Open a bank account? Fly? I realize that passage of this bill will put a crimp in the "frequent voter" program dims expect to run to victory. Too bad. No ID, no vote.
