One down and how many to go?????
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/30/politics/texas-voter-id-law/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
Washington (CNN) -- A federal appeals court in Washington Thursday
struck down the Texas voter ID law requiring photos for voters at the
polls, calling it racially discriminatory.
The decision is a major victory for the Obama administration and its
Democratic allies, which had challenged the law.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott promptly announced the state will
appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry signed the voter ID measure into law last
year, but it had yet not gone into effect because the federal Voting
Rights Act requires changes in Texas voting laws to be pre-cleared by
the U.S. Justice Department.
Attorney General Eric Holder denied the pre-clearance of the measure
in March, concluding that Texas failed to show the law will not have
"the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of
race."
The three-judge panel agreed.
Although the law provides for approved voter registration certificates
with no photo as acceptable for voting in certain circumstances, the
court said the law imposes "strict unforgiving burdens on the poor."
The court noted the requirements will fall heavily on
African-Americans and Hispanics, who make up a disproportionate
percentage of the poor in Texas.

And thus we establish that Dudu really doesn't understand the Constitution
or the need for Amendments to ensure that all people, or at least most,
could vote.

should have voter ID laws that include picture ID. What I think is
wrong is for it to be done state by state.
If you had been paying attention you'd know how I felt on this. What's
wrong with your memory? RD and I have had it out over this exact point
