Texas' new drivers license rule may make it tougher for trans people to vote

Texas' newly enacted ban on people changing the gender listed on their driver's licenses will create hurdles for transgender people at the ballot box, officials with a top voter-education group caution. The warning from national organization VoteRiders comes a day after the Texas Department of Public Safety adopted a block on people changing the sex on their current drivers licenses unless they request the alteration due to a clerical error. Texas requires a photo ID to vote in person, which is likely to cause confusion at polling sites if someone presents what appears to be an ID with the wrong gender marker, said Ceridwen Cherry, VoteRiders' legal director.
