The ID required by this legislation is usually not a drivers' license but something more expensive and tailored to be biased to Republican voters. For example, in Texas it is valid to show one's firearms permit for voting, covering gun owners, which studies show to be a predominantly Republican voters;


Driver's licenses are state issued picture ID and as far as I know, no voter ID law passed by the RWNJ's disallows state issued picture ID.

Texas has no 'firearms permit' to own a gun, I think you're confused- Texas has a concealed carry permit, which is another state issued picture ID, of which about 7% of eligible Texans have availed themselves.
