Court Tosses Texas Voter ID Out

[OKTexas]

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.

The decision by a three judge panel was appealed for an en banc review which was granted. This recent decision was that of the a full panel. The next appeal can only go to SCOTUS, and the earliest it could be heard by the Supremes, if it is even granted certiorari, would be this Fall with the decision coming long after the election in November! Texas will have to find another route to disenfranchise, obstruct and harass targeted groups of voters.

In 2014 the 5th allowed the law to take effect, saying it would likely win on it's merits, history has proven no disruption to voters, in fact voter turnout has set record levels since the law took effect. That is the opposite of your ignorant claim. Why is it you regressives can't see reality and continue on you partisan hackery.

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.

You're full of shit, they require the same documents it takes to get a drivers license or State ID and a State ID is all that is required to vote. They don't take college IDs because many college students aren't legal residence of the State.

What are the requirements to be a resident in Texas???

You have to declare yourself a resident, have a TX residence and change your drivers license to TX.

And I don't think you have to show ID to get a student ID card. At least you didn't used to have to....

You have to prove residence to get in State tuition.

Catch up Tex;

The New Orleans-based 5th Circuit agreed to rehear the issue after a three-judge panel ruled last year that the law violated the Voting Rights Act
~~Federal appeals court orders changes to Texas voter ID law ~~

Do a little research before hand, Tex!

Lol, Dear God I hate liberals.

Thus, Judge Costa did not go along even with the part of the Clement opinion which concluded that state officials had “made a strong showing” that the it was likely to win on the merits, “at least as to its argument that the district court should not have changed the voting identification laws on the eve of the election.”

Fifth Circuit allows Texas to enforce voter ID law (FURTHER UPDATE)

Maybe you should practice what you preach.

Hey Tex...catch the **** up! What you quoted is from a 2014 5th Circuit proceeding. Got it now? 2014!!!!

What I cited and have been citing from and about is from the July 20, 2016 decision that sent it back down to the Federal District Court level!

A challenge to a Texas voter identification law that some have described as the strictest in the nation now seems less likely to be headed immediately to the U.S. Supreme Court. In a 203-page opinion that three dissenting judges characterized as “gravely fractured,” a federal appeals court today struck down one central provision of the law and sent the case back to a federal trial court for more proceedings. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit instructed the lower court to fashion a remedy to address the problems faced by minority voters who have trouble obtaining the identification that they would otherwise need to vote in the November 2016 election.
~~Texas voter ID challenge headed to district court, rather than Supreme Court, for now? ~~

Here is the transcript of the July 20, 2016 decision of the en banc 5th circuit Court;

Now formulate your fecal matter, Tex, and dry out your powder!!!!

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.

you have to register as that person and at the time you register, like in Missouri you must show ID..There is no ID law here(Mizzouri) for when you want to vote, but they make you show one anywhey...

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

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

**** that. I want links to dead people or pets VOTING. Voting Fraud and Registration Fraud are two completely different things.

Maybe you should learn to read, my original comment quoted the 2014 decision and demonstrated that the law failed to live up to regressive projections of mass disenfranchisement. The facts show increased voter participation since the law took effect.

All that requires is for you to say that you've lived in the state for 6 months. It doesn't take ID.

 

[koshergrl]

I would be fine with getting rid of requiring voters to ID themselves...

If we also got rid of the unconstitutional laws that require us to obtain DRIVER'S LICENSES to drive.

So how do the "poor and elderly" get any services from anybody? Everybody must at some point be able to prove who they are, so this is just horseshit claiming they're being denied their right to vote without ID. Everybody knows the Rat party wants to start cashing in on their illegals and this is how it's done.

Yup.

Incidentally, to obtain foodstamps anymore all you have to do is provide a social security number. They are no longer required to provide any verification of their identity. And yes, even immigrants have social security numbers, it isn't aligned with citizenship.

And when someone provides a ss number that is actually somebody else's ss number, that will not prevent you from getting foodstamps.

If Hillary gets her blue-veined, wrinkly old paws on the Supreme Court, we are finished as a country.

Sorry, you need to check your facts. They have to live in the State a year and can't be a dependent of out of State parents or guardians.
