It is nice to see that there is at least one daily newspaper in Texas that has the right idea on Voter ID:

It’s just common sense. But don’t try to tell that to some people. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court wisely ruled states can require photo identification before allowing someone to vote.
The justices voted 6-3 to uphold an Indiana law requiring proof of identity from voters. The decision also impacts about 25 states across the U.S. that have such laws. It is likely more states will pass the requirement now that the Constitutional issue has been settled.

It appears, now that the majority of those cases have been dismissed, that the AG has little or nothing to crow about:
Criminal charges against two politiqueras accused of tampering with ballots in the 2005 McAllen mayoral election were dropped Tuesday, the same day their case was scheduled to go to trial.
Hidalgo County Court-at-law Judge Jaime Palacios dismissed the case against Maria Helena Belasquez and Alicia Liscano Molina at the request of prosecutors who did not feel they had enough evidence to convince a jury of wrongdoing.
The decision comes five days after a similar case was dismissed against another politiquera,

In October, the last time the survey posed the open-ended question about the country's top issue, the war came out on top by a 2-1 majority.About equal proportions of Republicans, Democrats and independents in the new poll said the economy was their major worry, suggesting the issue looms as a potent one in both parties' presidential contests.
