Fact Checkers Deal A Blow To GOP By Finding Hillary Clinton Speaks The Truth On Voting RightsSnip...
In yet another blow to Republicans, their furious scrambling from 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and Secretary Hillary Clintons assault on their efforts to disenfranchise American citizens has been called out.
They are wrong; Hillary Clinton was right. Ugh, reality, so mean.
-------'------
Speaking at Texas Southern University on June 4th, 2015, Hillary Clinton charged that you can vote in Texas with a concealed-weapon permit, but not a student ID. Clinton said, If you want to vote in this state, you can use a concealed-weapon permit as a valid form of identification, but a valid student ID isnt good enough.
PolitiFact Texas ruled her statement to be true because they found the following work for ID in Texas:
"A Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS.
Texas personal identification card issued by DPS.
Texas concealed handgun license issued by DPS.
U.S. military identification card containing the persons photograph.
U.S. citizenship certificate containing the persons photograph.
U.S. passport.

Snip
The conservative National Review was outraged, declaring Hillary Clinton made so many false assertions about voting in the speech she gave at Texas Southern University that its hard to know where to start.
------------
Debunking the RW lies is a full time job.
Expect Hillary Clinton to drive this voting rights issue to a greater audience as the campaign moves ahead.
Tear them up Hillary!!!

(9,148 posts)I know what a seemingly endless fight it is, keeping constant watch for fair voting rights.
Hopefully with HRC bringing attention to the corruption, calling out the GOP's dirty tricks, & using the wide range of influence she has, 2016 may finally bring a halt to the ongoing dilemma of voting rights abuse.
I do sincerely believe she is the only person with the absolute intent & the knowledge & the strength of will to drive a stake thru the black hole of a heart that drives the corruption within the Right Wing.
This country has needed Hillary Clinton as its Leader for a very long time.
Just look at her resume'. No one currently in the race for 2016 comes within 10 thousand miles of Hillary Clinton's wisdom, experience & credentials.
