In my experience, the laws are enforced consistently and fairly. They just don't like LTC for ID because it causes them extra work.

You are very ignorant of the election laws in TX as I was until last night. I had a discussion with my Sister who has been an Election Judge in Austin for the last few years. She has attended educational seminars held for Judges in both Austin and Dallas. My Sister and her husband are as or more conservative than anyone on this forum. I was shocked by the rules she must follow concerning ID.
As a side note she was only one of the two people on her street ( upper middle class neighborhood )which had a Cruz sign in their yard. All the rest were Beto signs and the Beto signs have yet to be taken down.

And if you had shown your wife’s ID and claimed to be her they would have let you vote.

Sure. I can walk in with my Sister’ ID, say I’m her, and they have to let me vote. I can walk in, tell them I have no ID, tell them it would be a hardship for me obtain said ID,check a box to that effect and sign an affidavid and I have to be allowed to vote.

I was heartened to see that TX had a voter ID law ( unlike NM) until I found out from my Sister ( election judge) how worthless the law is. TX will be blue before you know it.
