Texas Senate Passes Voter ID Bill

We have Bob Sargent to thank for putting this whole voter ID thing in perspective.

So surprise, surprise, the Senate voted to pass the bill, SB 362, by a vote of 20 to 12.

That's one more vote than usual because when the Senate meets as a "committee of the whole" the Lt. Governor gets to vote, too.

This vote, then, goes down as the Senate equivalent of a runaway girl's basketball game score.
