Quick reply, I live in Harris county (Houston) and I never heard about the stuff up in Fort Worth.
Gerrymandering is done all the time. Democrats have also gerrymandered.
Like I said, I go in and give them my drivers license, then vote. Naturally some in other states don't even want to do that. There are a lot of people who have crazy ideas about giving name and addresses to security to allow them in any building or place, or to vote.
Through work I've been to places 99.99% of the population has never been to. A nuclear power plant is one and an oil reserve in Freeport is another until the biden administration stripped the reserve of most of it's oil. Either way, it took an act of congress to get into these 2 places. It all starts with the drivers license, so I don't have a lot of patience about people playing games and refusing ID to get into places that require it or to vote.

UMD Analysis: Millions of Americans Don’t Have ID Required to Vote

Millions of voting-age Americans lack a current government-issued photo ID, even as a growing number of states enact new or stricter voter ID requirements, according to an analysis released today by University of Maryland researchers and a leading voting rights organization.
The report from UMD’s Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement (CDCE) and VoteRiders, which focuses on ID education and assistance, analyzed data from the American National Election Studies’ 2020 Time-Series Study, a survey of voting-age Americans’ political attitudes and behaviors. Researchers zeroed in on responses about possession of a non-expired driver’s license, U.S. passport or other form of valid, government-issued photo ID, and found deep disparities.
“With the demographics most likely to lack valid voter ID being among the fastest-growing demographic groups in the country—including young people, people of color and particularly young people of color—the potential for voter ID laws to keep more eligible citizens from casting a ballot is likely to rise as well as we head toward the 2024 elections and beyond,” said Michael Hanmer, CDCE director, professor of government and politics and a co-author of the analysis.
