The Illinois Senate voted 38-18 on [November 16] to override Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of an automatic voter registration bill.
The bill [...] would automatically register voters who are seeking a new or updated license, or who are seeking other services from state departments such as Human Services or Healthcare and Family Services.
[...]The only two things a citizen should need to vote is being 18 years old and a citizen.
[...]The bill received bipartisan support when it passed through the House by a vote of 86-30 and the Senate with a vote of 42-16.
[...]To fully override Rauner's veto, the Illinois House will also have to vote to override, but it will not back in session until Nov. 29.

I'm glad we agree. But my issue with this point:
I was merely arguing that there seems to be a very clear set of criteria that the state of Texas came up with for their criteria
The rules are very consistent only in a very narrow sense - in fact, they were tailored to a degree of narrowness to maximize benefit for the writers of the law. Surely, whenever the frame of perspective is made sufficiently narrow, it will be easy to justify. So the rules themselves are therefore inherently illegitimate, which makes any consideration of consistency irrelevant in my opinion.
I'll probably regret constructing this analogy, but to me, it's like arguing that a car is good at steering when it doesn't have wheels to turn.
