From The Dallas Morning News:
Democratic and Republican senators skirmished Tuesday over legislation that would require Texans to show a photo ID before voting – but the debate was mainly for show, as the measure was expected to win approval.
From the moment the Senate convened Tuesday morning to consider the GOP-backed voter ID bill, it was obvious that any important votes would wind up 19-12, the exact partisan split in the chamber.
- Republicans like it.
- Democrats don't.
- The controlling Supreme Court case: Crawford v. Marion County Election Board.
