I mean these are people the majority of whom believe there is a all powerful being who they can talk to and will grant them wishes if they ask the right way and catch him on the right day, also they believe mmgw is a giant conspiracy mostly because that's their gut feeling in spite of mountains of scientific evidence pointing to the opposite conclusion.
A couple things:
1) As noted upthread by ifucankeepit, the Texas law allows gun licenses but not Texas University IDs to be used for voting. That's pretty obvious bias.
2) The Tennessee law that Dvaut had a post on allows absentee voter ballots. So a determined fraudster is just going to go the EZ absentee vote route, while a person who can't get an ID might not even know about the absentee ballot option or just might never get an ID at all. Many probably don't even know the law has changed.
