Texas requires an excuse to vote absentee.<ref>http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/reqabbm.shtml</ref> During legislative debates on Texas's voter ID law, the sponsor of the law cited the availability of absentee ballots (which do not require ID) to defeat amendments that would have reduced the ID requirements for some voters.<ref>http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/SenateDiscussiononBill.pdf Sen. Fraser: (PDF pp. 10-11) "anyone that is a Medicare person, that is 65, then we still have the provision in law where they could be eligible to vote by mail, and we, we think that's sufficient." (in response to amendment that would allow Medicare card as voter ID); (PDF p. 14) "Also, anyone over 65, as you know, there, they still can vote by mail." (in response to amendment allowing elderly voters to use expired ID)</ref>
