“Photo ID went great“

The Texas Voter ID law continues to face legal challenges, including one from the U.S. Department of Justice.  Meantime, it’s so-far, so-good as the law is implemented across the Lone Star State.

The latest successful example is the March 4th Texas primary elections.  Harris County has now completed all canvassing results for the primary, and found there was a 99.9% compliance rate with the Photo ID law.  The primary marked the first statewide election since the law took effect last year, and just as with last fall’s municipal elections, there were no issues. 

“The results are the photo ID went great,” says Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart.

Disappointing perhaps to the anti-ID crowd and plaintiffs’ attorneys, but great news for Texas voters who value honest, accessible and fair elections.
