people that the voter ID law in TX will NOT be effective for this election. Thus, there
are people out there without ID who haven't gotten the word that it's off.

another form of suppression to add to the list

Luckily, California has a Secretary of State in Debra Bowen who actually believes every eligible voter should vote. The rest of you ought to try this. It's called "democracy".

My spouse thought I was paranoid, but I told him, "You can't be too careful these days."

My husband and I just got our sample ballots, complete with where we are voting.

I think we're OK!

But I know that here in California things are not as they are elsewhere.

Thanks for the thread!

Mom received hers already. Son and I have hispanic last name so SB 1070 may require more of us Americans.
