Sooo.. Texas ID law accepts concealed carry permits but not college ID?

simple solution = quit whining, get off your rump & get a frikkin valid ID. Geesh....

 

Yeah, full time students without a vehicle are going to have the time and the means to jump through those kind of hoops!

 

College ID's do not require a person submit a photo ID to get them, heck a SS Card is all one needs for many of them, a CC Permit requires your identity be verified hence it is a valid form of identification.

If voting is important to them they will make the time, maybe between their classes and the Beer Bash they are going to after school would be a good time.

 

Please enough already you can tap dance all you want, but those IDs are not official state IDs. I do not understand how you can't see that. I find it hard to believe that someone who got into a state school lacks the ability to get a ID. Even if you do not drive you can get a state issue ID. I feel you just want to be upset about something, but sorry try something else. This one IMO is a dead horse.

 

Nope, SCOTUS will address this on a deeper level after the election. Like many state voter suppression laws that have been overturned, this one is worse than most and chunks of it including student ID will go down as well.

 

How many is an acceptable number to the Fraudocrats.

It requires no great intellect to attend college, as you apparently delude.

Do you plan to address the ACTUAL POINT? Carry permits are PROOF OF STATE CITIZENSHIP; college IDs are not.

 

CCW permit establishes legal residence, college ID doesn't. College students from out of state should be voting absentee in their home state. That's what I did when I was in grad school out of state. It is the right thing to do. College students are not permanent residents of a state.

 

A CCW permit requires fingerprinting, a background check, a certified birth certificate and proof of residency in the state. A college ID has almost no safeguards to obtain and it does not require legal residence in the state to obtain. When I was in grad school in Florida, I got a student ID despite the fact that my legal residence was in Alabama. I voted absentee in Alabama elections.

 

The bolded require that you prove who you are far beyond a college ID...

 

Students in college are not necessarily residents of the state where that college is located. In fact, a large number of them are not. IF they ARE residents.....they have other I.D. that will suffice.

 

Maybe you should have checked the requirements for a college ID and a concealed weapon ID before posting this nonsense. As for Ginsberg, that woman needs to retire.

 

Doesn't matter. Out of state students should be voting absentee, as they are not permanent legal residents of their college states.

 

LOL...Yea, that student life is hard, isn't it? But, bet if they offered free beer for getting an ID they'd find a way.

 

oh lawdy , did people really have to explain the difference between a college ID and a concealed carry id ?

 

college IDs are not govt. issued.

UPS will let me pick up a package using my rifle/shotgun permit, as its issued by the govt.

but not using my college ID

 

They do not prove residency, to which I was responding. A review of the Texas voting procedures shows that to cast a ballot one requires both a valid voter registration card and a valid form of photo ID.

Personally I disagree that a college student ID plus the possession of a matching valid voter registration card is insufficient to prove who you are.

 

Yep.....and it's been ripe with lots of fraud. I recall in 2012 and maybe 2008, students who went to school in Ohio, for instance, a state that was very much "in play" were being encouraged to vote there for Obama.....instead of their state which was not going to be close.

 

A college ID is not acceptable for the same reason that a Microsoft employee ID is not acceptable. Neither is a state-issued form of identification. Neither is subject to the proof of identity requirements that a state ID is subject to. Both are issued by an independent organization that sets its own rules for verifying identity.

There is no federal law or regulation, and no state law in most states, requiring proof of identity to issue a student ID, limiting who the school may issue IDs to, how many they may issue to each person, or what name they may put on each ID. If a school decided to give each student five IDs with five different names, there is no law or regulation stopping them.

How could something not subject to any regulation or rule be considered a reliable form of identification for something as important as casting a ballot?

 

I believe the term incompetent in your reply indicates rather clearly the validity of the issues this thread is meant to address. Likely, many in poverty lack the means or desire to obtain a permit to carry a firearm in public....though admittedly they probably are not attending college either.

Strangely, most who do attend are unlikely to vote Republican.

 

Is an ID really that hard to acquire? lol

I don't remember having difficulty acquiring mine.

 

Bingo.

It shouldn't be that hard for people to figure out. CCW permits are state issued. College ID's are not.

Pretty simple.

 

It makes sense in a way since it's harder to catalogue unstandardized IDs. Also, the suggestion that college students will not have driver licenses or state ID cards is pretty asinine.

 

Consider me yawning as i peruse the awesome Texas crap that enables enablers.

Sad.

 

Stupid people. They do have a right to vote... but the question is, should they vote???? If you cannot even get a state id.. I think the candidate you are going to vote for is going to be as stupid as you..

 

They have no argument against ID. Even the Judge said that show me someone who can't get an ID, and they can't.
