The Supreme Court was right to uphold Texas law today. We must protect the sacred right to vote and ensure that voter fraud does not take place in the voting booths. Americans need identification to get on an airplane rent a car open a bank account cash a check go into a federal building buy alcohol or apply for food stamps. There is no reason it shouldnt be required for voting as well. I will continue to do all I can to protect the right to vote."
