GOPDD: Legal Center Asks SCOTUS To Block Texas Voter ID Law

By Jen - Mar 27, 2016

(Via The Hill) An advocacy group has asked the Supreme Court to temporarily block a Texas voter identification law from being enforced during the 2016 general election.
The Campaign Legal Center said a D.C. district court, a Texas district court and a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit have all ruled that the law discriminates against minority voters.
Earlier this month, however, the Fifth Circuit granted a Texas request to revisit the case with the court’s full bench and a court panel stayed the lower court order blocking the law.
