Millions have gone into the effort to attack voter identification laws in numerous states
Hillary Clinton’s top campaign lawyer lost a challenge against Virginia’s voter identification laws that was fueled by money from liberal billionaire George Soros.
The lawsuit, filed early last year on behalf of the Democratic Party of Virginia, sought to end Virginia’s voter identification law, known as SB 1256. The lawsuit was dismissed by a federal court Thursday after a lengthy trial that saw numerous witnesses testify, dealing a blow to an organized effort by the left to take on voter ID laws in numerous states leading up to the 2016 election.
The plaintiffs challenged the constitutionality of the law throughout the case by alleging it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and said that it has an adverse impact on minority groups.
They also argued that the law violates the First Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by putting an undue burden on the right to vote of minorities and disfavored the groups because of their political views. The plaintiffs contended that the law was specifically put into place to suppress the votes of African-Americans, Latinos, and young people.
The federal court dismissed the lawsuit on all counts.
J. Christian Adams, president of the election integrity group the Public Interest Legal Foundation, filed a motion to assist the state against the suit.
The Virginia voter ID challenge was part of a larger effort to attack voter identification laws across multiple states bankrolled by millions from George Soros.
Soros got wind of the potential challenges and became involved in January 2014, vowing to put at least $5 million in funding the effort.

Soros will be a world-class fugitive soon.
The Presidency is up for sale
and is being bought and paid for by Soros.
Put up ,.. or , shut up !
Is this another example of Trump Effect?
Black hoardes from Maryland are thus not able to vote in Terry McAwful’s virginia
The same person, Hillary, who has bought the nomination and has said “California voters” don’t matter because she is going to win without them. I mean, the DNC has shown the world that voters don’t matter, it’s all about the delegates. So funny. The Whole World is Watching Hillary buy the nomination
T-Mac (Terry McAuliffe, Va’s Gov & major Clintonista) will be disappointed. He just gave voting rights back to 200K felons to help Hilly out ... this might be a different bump in the road to stealing the election for Hilly.
The same ID and procedures needed to buy a gun should be the same ID and procedures needed to vote.
Both are Constitutionally protected rights.
Double good. Victory for voter ID, defeat for Sauros.
It is really too bad his jet does not have explosive decompression at 40,000 feet resulting in complete structural failure.
And go out the window like Goldfinger.
How much more obvious could they be? They’ll never make it here in Michigan where you have to produce DNA to register and more to vote.
Great spelling there! I love that.
Prison ID’s will be acceptable. Mexican utility bills work too.
Fixed it for you.
This will puts Virginia in play for Trump.
“The same ID and procedures needed to buy a gun should be the same ID and procedures needed to vote.
Both are Constitutionally protected rights.”
Exactly right! I am going to repeat that...often!
No, he gets shredded into 100 pieces when the 550mph wind rips the airplane apart like a blender pulverizes aluminum foil.
And may his sons be with him on the plane.
“That’ll mean WE CAN’T CHEAT!!!!”
I’m sure they’ll think of something. My guess is that absentee ballot fraud will be massive.
