Most of the voter registration drives BGTX conducted

coached the sign-ups to make certain they understood the need for a valid picture ID. The law has been in place for over a year now and last fall's elections -- mostly of the municipal variety, which is to say very low turnout -- were conducted under its requirements.

To answer your question, there's just no good way to know. Since these are new enrollees, and not folks like seniors who stopped driving in the past couple of years and let their license lapse, for one example, there is confidence that they understood what they had to do to get legal.
