 Justice Department asks federal court not to challenge Texas voter ID law

The Justice Department  argued on Thursday that Texas's controversial voter identification law urged a federal court in the state not to take further action on the measure, arguing that it no longer discriminates against minority voters.

In a court filing, the Justice Department said that changes made to the original 2011 voter ID law remedied discrimination concerns and should be allowed to go into effect without further legal challenges from a U.S. district court.

Texas's original voter ID law, passed by the state's legislature in 2011, has faced numerous legal challenges. Courts repeatedly found that it discriminates against minority voters and the elderly.

  1. How does requiring an ID to vote discriminate.?
    And how does it only discriminate against minority's.?
    It doesn't, and its obviously clear why they're attempting to stop states from requiring them. Voter fraud is as dangerous as electing an ineligible President whose father is a foreigner and did not meet Article II...
