Can he not vote using the name the State does recognize?


The article is pretty clear on that point.

> What he does not have is the one thing that he needs to vote this presidential election: a current Texas photo ID.

He can't get one without the proper documents, which he can't obtain.

Texas's list of requirements is at https://www.dps.texas.gov/internetforms/Forms/DL-15.pdf; he'll need proof of residence, which is likely all under the name he's been using for half a century.


Wouldn’t that be fraud under voter ID law, providing a false name?


How would it be fraud if the name is his, legally?
