AUSTIN, Texas – A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Texas' strict voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act and ordered changes before the November election.

The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals instructs a lower court to make changes that fix the "discriminatory effect" of the 2011 law, but to do so in a way that disrupts this year's election season as little as possible.
President Barack Obama's administration took the unusual step of deploying the weight of the U.S. Justice Department into the case when it challenged the law, which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification. The state and other supporters say the Texas law prevents fraud. Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters.

Why does the court think it’s easier for low-income Whites?
This decision is total BS!
The court system has become politically corrupt by politics. It was not supposed to be that way. See how progressivism as undermined our form of governance?
Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-Americans, filthy illegal Mexicans and all islamic muslims.
The penalties don’t really matter if it is essentially unenforced and unenforceable.

The nation has gone from liar loans to liar votes.
Don’t want the Democrats to miss out on the Illegal Invader Vote this November.
