Not  exactly  true. People must register to vote ahead of actual elections.  This is the point where their eligibility is scrutinized by the government and proof of identity is required.  

When exercising your 2A, Feds do not tell you come do the 4473 now then come back in a month to actually get the gun.  You would be pissed if the 2A process was the same as voting.

Edited for clarification. I was a bit wrong in this post.  Turns out you do need to be registered 30 days before.  In my case posted below I was already registered, just not registered in the county I was living in at the time.  My bad.  I think when you get your ID or DL a voter reg card is mailed to you.  So if your the voting type it should not be a big issue.



In Texas it is true you do need to be registered to vote for local stuff.  You need proof you live in the county that you are voting in.  You however do not need to be registered to vote in a national election.  I know this because I had recently moved to a different county right before the 2016 presidential election.  I had not updated my voter reg. I had the option of going to the main election office in the county and they could update my registration to get it straightened out, or i could just vote for the federal people.  It was a busy week so I chose to do that.  The office was at most 30 minutes away with traffic.

I would say that's because you were already registered to vote in your state.  Which county in the state you are registered for does not affect federal races, but does affect local races.

One MUST be registered to vote in Federal elections because only US citizens can vote in federal elections. Legal residents on the other hand can vote in local elections in many states.

You have to understand, that the second amendment is a privilege, a suggestion of a right, and thereby can be impinged upon. We must have reasonable restrictions upon all our rights. Hell, the entirety of the Bill of Rights is a suggestion.........you don't believe it, ask a politician, ask a congressman, a senator and watch his eyes.

Sorry I think I was editing my post above when you posted this.  I researched it and I was wrong.  

Still don't think its a big deal.  I have been registered to vote in Texas since I turned 18.  I don't think I turned in a reg card since then.  Pretty sure somehow it changed when I updated my license.  I've lived at at least 7 different addresses since, Somehow the state always knew.  It even knew when I moved back to Texas after working in mississippi for 4 years.  Think the dl was responsible.

Only a complete court en banc should be able to issue injunctions on duly enacted laws.  If they're later overturned by SCOTUS on anything other than narrow technical grounds, they should all be derobed and debarred.  This bullshit of finding a single judge, anywhere, and using them to veto the other two branches reminds me too much of the Tribunes under the later Roman Republic.   Bought and paid for Tribunes serving their masters was a significant factor in the fall of the Roman Republic, and it's not helping now.

No taxation without representation has the very valid mirror image of no representation without taxation.

Specifically, here - if we can't prevent non-citizens from voting, then there is no such thing as a citizen.    Either this gets fixed or the best case outcome is balkanization.

Yes there's something to be said for antiquated system that states have for auto purging people from voter reg rolls.  State issues death certificates and old DLs/IDs dont get renewed....yet this isn't streamline to automatically trim the reg rolls.

Nonetheless, gov laziness shouldn't be use as justification to deny with people's rights.   That is why if people get delayed on 4473 NICSs the gun sale will proceed in 10 days if the FFL never heard back from them, right?

What I'm proposing is let's have consistency here.  We are either pro-freedom/rights or pro-gov oversight.   If we are using current '68 GCA regulations as justification for voting ID laws, we are conceding that the '68 GCA regulations are just and should drop all efforts to repeal them.

Here's the funny thing, if you were correct and the voter rolls were bloated by those who have moved away, voter turnout would be lower in the areas with impossibly high voter registration. The problem is their voter turnout is typically within a few percent of the overall average, suggesting the impossibly registered voters are voting.

LA county has 144% register voters compared to possible eligible voters, yet still had 69% voter turnout last year - 10% over the national average

Certainly seems to merit investigation... But no one wants to turn over information. Convenient huh?

How do you feel about mandatory waiting periods?


"Yeah, but that's different"


I don't see poor people having trouble doing any number of everyday activities which require id (buying liquor? checking out library books? Hell, I'm even id'ed when I want to return an item to a store, even when I have the receipt).

I'm more pissed knowing my vote is canceled out by someone ineligible. Because in the end democratic opposition is all about politics and power

I would fully expect this to be a widespread problem in any and all states that relies on registered individual to notify them that they moved out of state or next of kin that they are dead.  I can tell you I move state to state and ever bothered informing the state I left.  There is simply zero incentive for people to do that regardless or red state/blue state.

If whomever brought this case before the District Court appeals it to the Supreme Court, they will be doing Texas a big favor after the Supreme Court upholds the 5th's ruling and making it the law of the entire land for states that want to require proper identification to vote.

Becoming a judge is the most job security anyone could ever hope for.

Now I understand that impeachment of a federal judge can be viewed as a slippery slope towards "political retribution" and so
it's seen as a third rail, but damn it, sometimes it's needed. Sometimes they are so far in the wrong lane, they need to go.
