House Elections Committee To Meet, Discuss Voter ID
By Vince Leibowitz on Jan 23, 2008 in 80th Legislature
The House Committee on Elections will hear invited testimony this Friday on areas concerning their interim charges, most of which related to the bogus concept of Voter ID. From the notice:
The committee will hear invited testimony on the following charge:
Examine the prevalence of fraud in Texas elections, considering prosecution rates and measures for prevention. Study ne laws in other states regarding voter identification, and recommend statutory changes necessary to ensure that only eligible voters can vote in Texas elections. Specifically study the Texas mail-in ballot system, the provisional voting system, and the various processes for maintaining voter lists of ineligible voters.
We’re awaiting a formal list of who has been invited to speak, but we hear voter ID advocate Paul Bettencourt, the Harris County Tax Assessor/Collector will speak.
