Which is to say that the

ID does not indicate your residence. I don't know how Texas works, but here in CA, if I move, my DL does not change. They don't immediately send me a new DL with the new address. My address on my DL is my old one from three years ago. When the DL expires and I am required to go to the DMV for exams, then I will get a new one. Otherwise, I just get a piece of paper that sticks to the back of the ID saying that it has been renewed to a new expiration date.

So the use of the DL to verify the voting district of the voter is pretty much useless. If it is to verify that the person is who he or she claim it is, then so would a student ID.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
