The right claims lots of voter fraud but actual examples are almost nonexistent,
The left insist that Photo ID disenfranchises voters, but media never interview actual examples: adult American citizens (by definition) without Photo ID.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson Maybe some nonagenarian nuns in Indiana, but that’s it.
High-powered Harvard professor claims 700,000 voters in Texas lack Photo ID, but hasn’t personally met a single one.
Seriously and confirmed.
Easy explanation for people moving between states.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson Many Americans think Motor Vehicles and the Elections Office link drivers license and voting records.
Not true.
Motor Vehicles sends information to the Elections Office but it’s one-way, no follow-up.
Person moves out of state, gets new DL and registers to vote there.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson Motor Vehicles cancels drivers license from old state when issuing new drivers license to new resident.
Elections Office in new state registers new voter, doesn’t necessarily inform elections office in prior state of residence, really doesn’t care, no incentive to do so.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson Meanwhile, old state drivers license expiration date eventually passes.
However, Elections Office in old state doesn’t necessarily know that anything has changed, so voter registration is still active.
Mis-match re documentation of former resident now in new state.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard professor doing data science studies concludes that this is an active voter without valid Photo ID.
Did anyone check to see if the person is still around?
Doubtful.
If age 70+, IDs should be free so people keep them up to date.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard Harvard professor doesn’t check the hypothesis:
If nobody can locate any specific examples under age 70, maybe 700,000 voters in Texas without Photo ID is wrong.
Media quote numbers from advocacy groups without asking to interview any examples.

@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard Pro-democracy Americans should challenge media that reject healthy skepticism.
Organizations help Americans get Photo ID, not just to vote, but to live and thrive:
@SpreadTheVoteUS
@VoteRiders
Photo ID is not wrong.
Thank you.
