Texas’ voter identification law violates the U.S. law prohibiting racial discrimination in elections, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed previous rulings that the 2011 voter ID law — which stipulates the types of photo identification election officials can and cannot accept at the polls — does not comply with the Voting Rights Act.
The full court’s ruling delivered the strongest blow yet to what is widely viewed as the nation’s strictest voter ID law. Under the law, most citizens (some, like people with disabilities, can be exempt) must show one of a handful of types of identification before their ballots can be counted: a state driver’s license or ID card, a concealed handgun license, a U.S. passport, a military ID card, or a U.S citizenship certificate with a photo.

WI voter ID has once again been challenged. My guess is that we’ll lose what we gained in the previous WI SC challenge in another court. They can’t let there be an honest election if Hillary is to be elected. There must be cheating.
We will see now which judges have been corrupted and bought and paid for by the Dems.
The courts are not hanging in the balance. They have long fallen off the abyss. let them burn and reclaim power https://t.co/vgUI5XG3Jf
