The 2012 presidential election is right around the corner and many Texans still have not registered to vote. According to an editorial posted in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Friday, October 5, 2012, the deadline for Texas voter registration is Tuesday October, 9, 2012. There has been much confusion this year about voting, such as, "voter ID laws, redistricting, the purging of voter rolls and rules for voter registration," states the author of the editorial. Maybe this is the excuse non-registered voters are using to not register to vote.
In my opinion, the author does an excellent job clarifying in simple terms of how a Texas citizen can register to vote. Explaining how one can register to vote, along with giving a break down on who can vote, and what documentation is accepted/needed on election day, I believe the author is trying to inform non-registered voters that there is no excuse as to why they should not register to vote. The author is simply getting the word out that it is every one's American born duty to vote.
