Latinos For Texas Blog � Breaking: Senate Dems unite against HB 1706: "“SENATE DEMOCRATS BLOCK HB1706 BEFORE IT IS PASSED

Eleven Democrats sign letter to block voter picture ID bill

Democrats complain that the bill creates undue obstacles to voting for the elderly and students, among others. They also argue that this is part of a nationwide Republican effort to disenfranchise voters."
