Filling in for host Andrea Mitchell during MSNBC’s 12 p.m. ET hour, anchor Kate Snow freely admitted that her report attacking a new Republican voter I.D. in Texas was orchestrated by the Democratic Party: “A Republican-led legislature here passed a new voter I.D. law five years ago....The Democratic Party here has been worried about what those requirements might mean for turnout on Tuesday, but they then put us in touch with Cassandra Enoch Brown, who’s been trying to get a new I.D. for her mother.”
In the interview that followed, Snow teed up Brown to blast the law: “Your mother, 86 years old, right?...And needs a voter I.D. card because she doesn't have a driver's license....When you tried to look for where to go and how to do that, walk me through how that process went.” Brown responded: “I initially began with the Texas Department of Health Services and I spoke with several people. On many occasions, the persons with whom I was speaking didn't know what to tell me....And they didn't know what all was involved in getting the I.D. when it came to what she needed.”
