EXCLUSIVE: Only 14 People in Entire State Claim Free Photo IDs to Vote

Liberal groups are fond of claiming that voter i.d. laws as passed in Texas and in several other states will illegally disenfranchise 'hundreds of thousands' of elderly, poor, and minority voters, and using that argument they have gone to federal court and to the Obama Administration’s obliging Justice Department to try to get the laws overturned.

But an investigation by 1200 WOAI's Michael Board shows those claims might be a little overblown.

Today is the last day to register to vote in the November 5 Constitutional Amendment elections, and both the DPS and the Secretary of State's office have been undergoing major efforts to make sure that free 'election identification certificates' get into the hands of those 'hundreds of thousands' of people who the liberals keep telling us don't have the 'government issued photo i.d. needed to vote.

But it seems that the demand for these documents is not nearly as strong as you have been led to believe.

"According to the latest statistics, 14 election identification certificates have been issued across the state," Tom Vinger a spokesman for the DPS, told 1200 WOAI news.​

That's right. Not 140,000, or 14,000 or even 14 hundred. Fourteen. In a state of more than 26 million residents.

That's thirteen more than applications approved for ObamaCare.
