Court Tosses Texas Voter ID Out

[Weatherman2020]

Almost every nation on earth requires an ID, you need one to get on a plane, use a credit card, use a check, use my San Diego Zoo pass, etc etc.

But I can just walk into a polling place and say I'm so and so here to vote.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Texas' strict voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act and ordered changes before the November election.

The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals instructs a lower court to make changes that fix the "discriminatory effect" of the 2011 law, but to do so in a way that disrupts this year's election season as little as possible.

President Barack Obama's administration took the unusual step of deploying the weight of the U.S. Justice Department into the case when it challenged the law, which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification. The state and other supporters say the Texas law prevents fraud. Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters.

Asking EVERYONE to prove who they are to prevent voter fraud is discriminatory...



I predict voter fraud will be rampant this year, more liberals bragging on nation-wide tv about they voted 5 times again...

...especially if the election is anything like the DNC primaries...

It's one thing to require voter ID, but what ID is required is a whole other thing. Texas passed a law that clearly disriminated against the poor and the elderly.

Republicans have been seeking to pass these laws, but there is no evidence that this type of voter fraud is even a problem, and much evidence that it isn't.

Oh please. You have to have ID to get welfare, social security and foodstamps. The poor and elderly have identification. The only people this ruling helps is the people who want to perpetrate voter fraud, period.

Which explains how dead, pets, and felons have voted for Democrats for years...

 

[Timmy]

You ID on registration . And you can show all kinds of IDS to vote . These laws try to create hurdles by demanding a specific kind of ID.

It's cleary an attempt to surpress votes .

Stop whining. This is the US not every other nation on earth. Get that through your thin skull.

I'm poor and have always had an id even if it was just a 5$ state ID card

The law has been in force for 4 elections, there have been no mass complaints. This decision will be appealed and I doubt it will affect the Nov elections.

Great news! I hope the Hispanics turn Texas BLUE THIS YEAR!!!!

Of course you can show how that has made a difference in the past.

We can always count on a you right wing whiney little bitches to back discrimination whenever possible. Many studies on voter fraud have all come to the same conclusion - Voter fraud is exceptionally rare. Last election, a total of 14 cases were referred for prosecution which is 0.00000017 percent of the votes cast.
Admit it, you know the only way Republicans can win is when voter turnout is low, and you value party more than our republic.
