Commentary on the Rejection of the Voter's ID law

On November 4th, via his blog "The eyes of Texas are upon you", Josh Cox stressed his support towards Rick Perry's stance on the Voter Identification law in his commentary "Texas Voter ID Law". He believes that our state should protect the citizen's right to vote and prevent acts of fraud at the ballot box by having an ID law, and that people who haven't earned the right to vote, such as illegal immigrants, should be kept from voting in our elections as well. He uses direct quotes from the article he is providing commentary for, as well as direct quotations from the governor himself to support his view.

I personally support this view myself, and Josh brings up a valid concern. There are people who are worried about their vote being cancelled by someone who is either committing fraud or isn't able to vote under legal means. But people see it as an attack on our rights to require ID. We have to provide identification when we buy alcohol or tobacco, there's no reason not to provide a picture ID for voting as well.

The article Josh bases his commentary off of is found on the Texas Capitol Report, An article called "Reaction to rejection of TX voter ID law". It is here that Josh finds the direct quotes from Rick Perry to support his writing, and express his thoughts on the lack of a voter ID law.
