This is ridiculous. I do not care what party a 90 year old is affiliated with when they apply for a voter ID with an expired drivers license. Is he suddenly illegal? What, other than age, changed about him. To deny a former House Speaker because of an expired driver's license is nonsense and a faculty identification card.

Here is a list of the acceptable forms of photo ID:
Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
Texas personal identification card issued by DPS
Texas concealed handgun license issued by DPS
United States military identification card containing the person’s photograph
United States citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph
United States passport
With the exception of the U.S. citizenship certificate, the identification must be current or have expired no more than 60 days before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place

What is ridiculous is whining about an elderly person and a former representative who should know better who did not abide by the law. There are several options other than his expired DL. There is no excuse. Even our representatives need to obey the law.
What is shameful is trying to use an elderly person to make hey out of nothing just because you want illegals to vote and expand the dems voting base. -

Interesting though, that you believe he's entitled to special treatment because he's a politician. -
