“No evidence for claim that Texas voter ID law is an effort to disenfranchise women”


“Pants on Fire!”


 


PolitiFact correctly identifies as “incorrect and ridiculous” Democrats’ “dramatic” claims that Texas voter ID is “trying to undo the voting rights women fought for,” and rightly notes “this claim suffers from an absence of proof that the Texas law was intended to disenfranchise tens of thousands of women or has had such an immediate effect.”


 


Faced with this “overall absence of evidence,” Democrats tried unsuccessfully to manufacture some:


 


“[T]hese days, the Democrats and voter ID critics are talking about how the law will affect women. The Democratic National Committee pointed to District Judge Sandra Watts of Nueces County and said she was ‘turned away when she went to vote.’  But Watts, a Democrat, later told MSNBC that she was not turned away and voted after signing the affidavit.”

But keep those dishonest fundraising emails coming, Dems – maybe your donors don’t read “right-wing” media like the Austin American-Statesman or HispanicBusiness.com.
