Latina Judge Strikes Down TX Voter ID Blasts History of Discrimination - NBC News

oct 10 2014
A Texas-born and raised Latina federal judge, Nelva Gonzalez Ramos, did not just block a Republican-sponsored state voter ID law, she equated it to laws enacted by states after slavery was abolished to ensure blacks could not vote.

"The Court holds that SB 14 creates an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote, has an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans, and was imposed with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose," Gonzalez Ramos stated in her lengthy ruling issued Thursday. "The Court further holds that SB 14 constitutes an unconstitutional poll tax."

Texas' strict voter ID law, passed by the Republican-led Legislature in 2011, only accepts certain forms of photo ID and does not allow other commonly used ones. It does not allow college student photo IDs, for example, but allows gun permits as identification.

The law would have made it extremely difficult for Texas Latinos such as 18-year-old twins Nicole and Victoria Rodriguez to vote, as groups argued in 2013. The young women at the time did not have driver's licenses since their parents could not afford car insurance, yet they had valid Texas birth certificates, high school IDs and Social Security identification. Still, they would not have been allowed to vote unless they traveled to a state office to get a special photo ID issued by the Department of Public Safety. Voting experts have pointed out the long distances and restricted hours of these state offices, which make obtaining the ID difficult for lower-income residents without cars as well as older voters.

This is how you know Voter Fraud is the lifeblood of the Dem Party. Without the ability to manufacture votes they'd disappear as a national party

Sounds like affirmative action programs. Those are DESIGNED to hurt whites and help non-whites. Why do the courts let them stand?

And from the special interest group, "La Raza" (The Race). Activist Federal Judges are systematically destroying the Constitution and States' Rights one ruling at a time. Congress needs to curb this Draconian dictatorship.

Millions of illegals voted for obozo in 2012. How do we know that? Cause obozo won't enforce the law. Law says illegals can't live here or work here either but O lets them do both!!! He lets illegals collect welfare too.

Congress?? You expect federal congresmen to stand up for states rights? Not a chance. The states need to stand up for states rights. The federal constitution is on their side.

What the hell could the Feds do if the States totally ignored their sorry asses?

Good decision. There are plenty of ways to identify a person besides photo IDs.

I am sorry, what does her being Hispanic have anything to do with the ruling? Should she not be allowed to hear the case because she is Hispanic?
